"Today, parents and children are under more stress than they were 50 years ago when I was raising my children… This means that we must increase our efforts to support parents and children at this critical time if we want our children to have a brilliant future. When we are present to support them we can prevent problems rather than having to treat them for failure later…The Center for Partnership Studies’ “Caring and Connected Parenting Guide” is an accessible, short, and very useful resource for all parents."

"Parenthood is truly a life-changing event — one that can be both amazing and at the same time, daunting…there is no question that parents serve as their children’s first and most important role models. We must therefore always remember that the most valuable gift we can give our children is a consistently safe and caring environment in which they can live, learn and thrive. This easy-to-read guide helps parents do just that."
