The evidence is in, various researchers, psychologists, educators, and other professionals have spoken and it is what it is.
Good or bad it’s you!
It’s not only you as a parent, but you in your other roles; as an aunt, a coach, a mentor, as your child’s friends parent, girl scout leader, or bible study school volunteer.
