The fabulous Cooper and Emily are hard at work on their parenting book, and need some feedback! If you can take a moment and help, they would appreciate it!

1) Describe a time (s) of great meaning that you experienced with your family (as a parent, as a child or both.) DETAILS, please!

2) What gets in the way - if anything - of truly being in the moment with your kids? What are the time drains? Is it hectic lives, too much to do, other parents/family? Please be specific, a story or two to describe would be wonderful.

3) Along those lines, what do you see as the greatest challenges to you in your parenting or in childrearing in general? What are the roadblocks? Again, specifics and anecdotes are encouraged!

4) Describe something (s) you and your family are doing well. What is it you are best at and why (communicating, having fun etc.)? Please describe with stories if possible.

Answers to all or one or a couple can be sent to Cooper and Emily at parentingbook@comcast.net
