It's an old adage, but very true: Knowledge is Power. If we work towards turning our sails and navigating our ship, working with the winds of life, we'll be most successful if we have the knowledge and skills needed.

Many parents work through issues with their children either by guesswork, by copying their own parents' styles, or by trying to adopt some "expert's" view. At 4Square, we advocate a combined approach that develops into your own unique style, tailored to your child's and your family's needs. We don't want to see you struggle on your own, make mistakes based on old ideas or feel disempowered thinking you don't know what is "right". We want to collaborate with you and encourage you to find that intuitive
sense of what works for you.

In this section we'll post fresh, new articles monthly that may help you in your daily parenting situations. Some too, will challenge long-held beliefs and may prompt you to contact us as a coaching client. Some will be by Sarah Duncan, our 4Square coach, and others will be from academic or popular literature sources.

We hope you enjoy the information and different perspectives.
