reading, or writing in your journal. You may find that this daily ritual, more than the amount of time you spend on self-care, is what helps to renew your spirit.


Here’s to more joyful parenting in 2011! Interested in learning more about Mothers as People? Dr. Suniya Luthar


of Columbia University will be the featured speaker at the second Annual Forum on Children and Families. Her public talk is entitled “Who Tends the Caregiver? Who Mothers Mommy?” I invite you to join us for this free event as we learn about the research on mothers as others – mothers as spouses, friends, workers, and daughters. For more information, please visit: http://ccf.utdallas.edu/Forum.
