Remember that you can take a portion of this test and come back to it with our bookmark feature.

No matter how hard we try, each of us as parents inevitably makes mistakes. Some mistakes are easy to overcome, while other mistakes, repeated over time, can have significant and long-lasting implications. This course focuses on three common mistakes parents make and helps you understand why these three are the ones you don’t want to repeat.

Many times we try hard to be ‘perfect parents’ and take on jobs such as chauffer, cook, maintenance worker, nurse, teacher, mediator, and so forth -- all in a day’s work! And that doesn’t count any ‘day job’ that we may also have. Being a parent is a full-time job and then some, and sometimes we feel overtaxed and overworked -- not surprising! And, at the end of the day, it’s also not a surprise that sometimes our tempers are a bit short, our patience is frayed, and we reach for quick and easy fixes. This course will show you how to deal with the daily stresses and knee-jerk reactions that we all have, to improve credibility and relationships within the family.
