Is there anything more important in life than the relationship that exists between ourselves and the ones we love? Personally, I don't think so. It is for this reason that I developed parentingwithanattitude.blogspot.com
The purpose of my blog is two-fold: to help good parents become better parents, and to encourage married couples to thrive-not just survive-in their relationship. New thoughts and ideas will be added to
parentingwithanattitude.blogspot.com on a regular basis, and will consist of 6 primary areas regarding marriage and parenting(click on any of the 6 to read a further description):
1. A Monday morning thought for good parents who want to be better parents;
2. guest authors who will be writing articles that relate to either parenting, marriage or some other area of
relationships;
3. 21 habits of a healthy marriage that I will weigh in on;
4. 14 articles that address what I believe are important differences between punishment and discipline, as well as the differences between parental power and parental authority;
5. "What kids do and say that make us laugh and smile"-an opportunity for you to write in and share funny and touching stories from your observations of kids;
6. periodic excerpts and discussion questions taken directly from my book, Parenting with an Attitude.....21 Questions Successful Parents Ask Themselves.
I hope you will "tune in" from time to time and see what new thoughts and ideas have been added.

About Ed Wimberly
- Ed Wimberly
- Santa Barbara, CA, United States
- I began my professional career in private practice 30 years ago after earning an undergraduate degree in 1968 from Westmont College and a doctorate degree in 1980 from United States International University in San Diego, California. I have published articles in various magazines and newspapers, including The Gilroy Gazette, Kid's Vermont News, Melbourne's Child, Mom's and Dad's Florida Magazine, Parent's Line in Maryland, Parent's News in Illinois, Santa Barbara Family Life in Santa Barbara, Sydney's Child, and Ventura County Parent Magazine in Ventura, California. I have a private practice in Santa Barbara, California. I am convinced that addressing parenting issues and difficulties is usually best accomplished by working more with parents than with children since usually, as parents deal more effectively with their own issues, what likely follows is a new, improved, and usually more successful approach to raising their kids. I believe that "kids are usually not "the problem" but rather the symptom of something in the parent's efforts that needs fine tuning. Fine tune our attitudes and we will likely get the desired results in our kids."
