Remarraige
I am very thankful for great research when it comes to divorce and remarriage. Both can be hard on everyone in the family. My husband grew up with his parents divorcing when he was 7 years old. He saw everything a child shouldn't with parents fighting and talking badly about each other. Sadly, too, he hold many trust issues do to many of the things his parents did. Thanks to people along the way, he as able to get help. The family is so important, especially when it has been damaged and changes have arose. But, thankfully, remarriage can be a wonderful thing! One thing i learned from class discussion was the importance of keeping the children in mind when there has been remarriage. The biological parent should be the parent who disciplines, while the new parent becomes well associated with the children by building trust and friendship, like an awesome aunt or uncle would. Remarriage is truly be a great thing when taken seriously and done thoughtfully.

Be Active
Parenting is a sacred responsibility. It is very important to parent in an appropriate and loving way. The best is to be an Active parent. It is important to be able to understand our children. Something very crucial is to learn about each of our children individually and parent according to their needs. Each child is different. An Active parent is involved in their children's lives, but also allows them to use their agency to make choices. This is how my parents were when they raised me and I am so thankful for them. I was able to make choices, but still go to them if i needed help. One thing that was really important to me was that I knew I was loved, no matter what. This is important. I want to be an Active parent and love my children unconditionally.
