I don't know about you- but when I became a parent I was SURE I was going to be easy-going, relaxed, and fun!   What actually happened was I tried to control all sorts of things!

No wonder I needed to control.   Tune in and explore this topic while learning an exercise that will support you along the way.   http://www.purejoyparenting.com
