I was applying for a position which would change many things in our family’s life and also put me out of my comfort zone a bit. Like so many … Continue reading →

by Horace McMillan Parent-Child Relations. Our diagnosis. At last. After a fast moving, slow motion spiral that had led to my daughter’s hospitalization for emotional and behavioral health, we at last had an answer and a direction. This latest set of doctors and counselors overturned everything the previous doctors and counselors had said. This doctor … Continue reading →

The Gift of the Do-Over

~ by Julia Roller My first-grade son’s favorite game is foursquare. In fact, I’m pretty sure foursquare is the number one reason he enjoys school. At snack recess, lunch recess, and for as long as I’ll let him play after school, he’s out there joyfully slamming balls into the asphalt. He and his friends get … Continue reading →

The Questions Mark the Way

~by Charity Marrone During this season as we find ourselves re-entering the Story of Easter I am reminded of how grand our story of faith can be. It is often referred to as the greatest story ever told. For me it is good to remember that many contributions were made to the full story. It … Continue reading →

Parenting Beyond Fear

Posted on April 18, 2014 by practicingfamilies2013 • Leave a comment

by Janet Trevino-Elizarraraz So much of our unconscious parenting has as its foundation worry and fear about the future, the unknown.

From Jill Clingan and Joanna Harader Yesterday we waved the Palm branches. Next Sunday we will rejoice at the empty tomb. It is important that we not skip the story in between.

Teaching Parents to Dream

by Matt Clingan I love the line of Jesus where he states, “The law was made for man, not man for the law” (Mark 2:27).  It’s kind of a mantra of mine, and while Jesus was speaking about Sabbath, I apply it liberally wherever it works, like a spiritual soap on a body that never … Continue reading →
