My friends over at Zero Worry Parenting are just about to launch the coolest 6 month course in ‘parenting’ that I’ve ever heard of… and the deadline for enrolling is looming soon!
If you’re not on my mailing list (which can be easily accomplished by providing your name and email over in the sidebar —–> :-) then you may be unaware of the fun, free tools we’ve been sharing over the past week or so.
OF course, there’s the wonderful Owners Manual you can grab by clicking on the Zero Worry Parenting banner at the top of my blog.
And here’s another fun tool I want to share. It’s a brief quiz designed to help you find your child’s (or yours!) personality type. Actually you can use it for anyone and you just might be surprised to discover a thing or two that you hadn’t quite considered. And that discovery could help you relate more effectively. You can find that Personality Tool HERE!
