Game, Gift, Polite

Parenting, Always, Needs

Ask any successful person, and most will tell you that they had a person who believed in them... a teacher, a friend, a parent, a guardian, a sister, a grandmother. It only takes one person, and it doesn't really matter who it is. Sean Covey

Tell, Matter, Had

When you lose a parent, you realize how vital they are to the foundation of your life. It's impossible to understand what it means until that curtain is pulled. You're an orphan.

Impossible, Bring, I Think

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Seed, Least, Tens

Teacher, Here, None

Treat, Uncle, Pile

I'm not a parenting expert. In fact, I'm not sure that I even believe in the idea of 'parenting experts.' I'm an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher.

Expert, Fact, Engaged
