Do you feel frustrated, overwhelmed or alone in your parenting? Or do you just need to talk? We all know parenting can be hard.
Kids depend on us, and sometimes it seems like none of us could possibly have enough time, strength or wisdom to give them everything they need.
But help IS available- help from other parents who might have a good idea of what you're going through. They'll listen to you, talk about it, and offer their own ideas and support.
Circle of Parents provides a friendly, supportive environment led by parents and other caregivers. It's a place where anyone in a parenting role can openly discuss the successes and challenges of raising children. Where they can find and share support.

"I don't understand it. The techniques my parents used so effectively just don't seem to work with kids today." Does this statement sound familiar to you? A lot of parents today are wondering what to do with their kids and are frustrated because the old techniques just don't seem to get the job done.
There is, however, an approach to raising kids that provides loving support from parents while at the same time expecting kids to be respectful and responsible.
This program is known as Parenting with Love and Logic.
