Guest Authors Are Special Parenting Guests Who Share Their Parenting Wisdom And Insights With This Website And Its Visitors
“Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege." John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) |
Parenting Guest Authors – For a Website dedicated to 'All Things Parenting', what could be greater than that? Welcome to our newest and most exciting addition to the Preteen Thru Teenage Parenting Action Guide - Our Guest Author Series!!
We are VERY pleased to bring you this unique addition to our lineup of quality content, videos, pictures, quotes, forums, Parental Q & A, and ALL THINGS PARENTING! Add to that list the opportunity to have visiting Guest Authors share with us three quality parenting articles completely of the Guest Author’s own choosing, followed by an exclusive, hour-plus, one-on-one parental interview conducted by yours truly (that would be me, Lance Dobieski), and with our Guest Author. All of these unique, unrehearsed and totally spontaneous parenting interviews will be published here as the fourth of four contributions by our Guest Authors to this website during their visit with us. We anticipate that this Guest Author series will debut a new Guest Author every three to four months, or thereabouts. We firmly believe that there are no ‘one right answers’ in the realm of parenting, yet every piece of parenting wisdom we share with you is vital to the overall picture of healthy and effective parenting. Every child and every family and every parent is unique in their own ways. The more often we can hear and listen to what other parents have to say about how they approach parenting, the better educated and better equipped we ourselves as parents will be. For this reason we will be featuring Guest Authors from all walks of life, within all the various stages of their parenting roles and experiences. And finally, I would like to publicly thank (in a very general way) the source of my inspiration for this Guest Author series. You see, the secret source of my inspiration came from a reader just like you who shared a Parenting Forum Story that so inspired and lifted me that it left me hungry for more. Upon reading their parenting story I said to myself: “Wow. That parent is remarkable and I would LOVE to hear more of what they have to say about any and all things parenting.” Right there and then, as with a flash of pure inspiration, this Guest Author series was born. So please keep your parenting stories and comments coming as they are an inspiration to us all! It is when we roll up our sleeves and participate in the process of sharing our parenting wisdom that WE truly grow and learn the most, and we very often help a great many other parents along the way. So with that, sit back, relax, and enjoy this wonderful addition to the parenting wisdom and education offered here at the Preteen Thru Teenage Parenting Action Guide. We proudly present to you the Parenting Guest Author Series.

His contact information is: Phone: 562-945-8808 e-mail: glennmft@verizon.net
Note: Though Mr. Glenn Heap is certainly well educated and the consummate Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) professional, and while it is an honor to be starting our Guest Author series with a professional in the field of parenting and families, most of our Guest Authors will be non-professional parents who simply want to be of service by sharing what they know, through their own parenting experiences, with the readership of this Website. That being said, when we are able to get a professional to visit with us we certainly feel fortunate in this regard and do hope that you will enjoy all of the Parenting Guest Authors who will be visiting with us as friends and as parents!
