How To Be "Good Parent" When You Didn't Have One

I’m Dr. Cara Goodwin, child psychologist and mom of three. 

Parents, here’s the problem.  We face questions each moment of the day about what is best for our children but we lack the time to research each and every question we face.  My primary goal is to get research-backed information into your hands that is accurate, relevant, and helpful. 

As a parent of four young kids, I am definitely “in it” myself. Parenting Translator is where we share all the research that is important to me as a psychologist and mom and explain it in an unbiased way that can change your life and your kids’ lives today.
