Someone once said that parenting was the toughest job you’ll ever love. After all, there are arguments over curfews, allowance, homework and many other daily activities; stressors due to electronics and the Web; emotional trauma because of relationships, and so many other areas of parenting that cause discouragement and doubt that sometimes makes it seem like you will never see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It is on those dark days that you may find yourself questioning why parenting is so difficult? If so, then perhaps it is time to ask a better question, “What makes it difficult?” The three-part skill set series from Fine Tuned Families allows you to step back and ask yourself what it is you are striving for and what you need to do to accomplish that task.
