I am so glad to see others meeting parent needs with a Christian perspective! I just ‘retired’ from teaching. As a a speech and language/human development specialist, I have been called by the Lord to assist parents also and began a blog: foundationsforintentionalparenting@@blogspot:disqus.com, to highlight Faith and child development theories. I had a whiner, and I was a whiner too.
 I found having them look into my eyes and asking them to “talk in their low voice” also helped. The biggest help was for me the parent to look, see and assess the need. That meant training myself to stop, look and listen. Joyful Parenting and a big thumbs up! Mary Green
