Disclaimer
In my coaching, speaking, courses, interviews, blog posts, articles and advice to parents who write in with parenting questions, I draw on my training as a clinical psychologist, my reading in the field, my own parenting experience, and my many years observing and coaching parents and kids. I hope that my advice is helpful and inspirational to parents. The following disclaimer reminds advice-seekers that this website is solely educational in nature, and that individual parents are responsible for the use they make of all advice in this website, my newsletters, or courses. -- Laura Markham, Ph.D.
