How Much Do I Love You? The So Big Blog!
Lynne’s Loving Parenting Advice Blog

Okay, who am I to give parenting advice? I’m a mom of three healthy, happy grown children, a grandma, a child psychologist working with discouraged families, a former school psychologist and a prolific writer. My mission in the world is to use my training, my experiences and my practical nature to bring the best from the world of psychology on how to become loving people direct to your homes via my writings.

I’m a person of practical ideas about how to raise healthy, happy children. We all need sensible child-raising ideas during this explosion of technology where the narcissistic, exploitive media can pull children away from the values of a happy, grounded family. Today’s parents need tools and techniques to keep children away from becoming risky, sensation seeking behavior.

I stand for positive family-oriented values and interactions with your children. The greatest tools you can routinely apply are love, morality and reasonable consequences. I like the bible verse from Colossians 3:14 that says, “Most of all, let love guide your life.” It’s my guiding principle when I don’t know what to do. Along with this, I give practical solutions.

And I’m an optimistic person who has years and years of studying wisdom and how to create resilient, hardy children. I know the psychology research on parenting and creating a happy partnership where little ones and the teen versions of the little ones thrive and grow.

Think of my blog as a weekly boot camp for parents! No I don’t have all the answers, but I do have ideas to get you to think about what you are doing daily with your children. And how to do it better. And I can be quite tough for those of you considering throwing in the towel and letting your children run amuck because you no longer know what to do.

My weekly ideas just might help to keep you sane during those hormonally-charged get-out-of-my-face teen years that some youngsters unfortunately go through. Like the old philosophers, I always say that “Knowledge is Power’ and advocate getting all the best parenting information you can for your most important product-your children!

You literally can contribute happiness or havoc in your child by your actions, your expectations and your reactions to his or her misbehavior. Think of me as a wise Old Dutch aunt or grandma who’s been there and done it right somehow (my proof in the pudding is my three beautiful inside and out grown children who now have families of their own.) I’m in my early seventies gained enhanced wisdom from working with families with troubles for the past thirty years.

Positive-it’s all positive as I am. I’ll empower you by giving weekly positive ideas so your child feels loved while giving ideas about firm discipline. My goal is to help you help your child to become a loving, giving-back human being.

That’s really what we want for our children.
