Roll With the Changes

We now interrupt this parental competency program to bring you a message from our sponsor. I thought I’d make a brief diversion from our (okay, my) discussion of the ten most important areas of parental competency to discuss something that didn’t make the cut but, in my opinion, should have.

This skill is implicitly involved in some of the other topics we’ve discussed, such as stress management and life skills, but I guess the researchers thought it didn’t merit independent discussion. So, despite my lack of credentials, I am going to take it on myself.
