Parenting is for TEAMS

Today I watched a Mom working with her two children, while their Dad looked on. With two kids wouldn't two parents have been a better idea than one active participant and one observer? Parenting is a Team Sport! Although I am the first to admit that Mom was the primary care giver, teacher, and, well, parent to our children, BOTH Mom and Dad are the parents, not just one or the other, not one more than the other. Parenting takes two and it is best when both work together. Sometimes it takes one parent to make it clear and friendly to the other that it takes two. Not just to "baby sit" but to parent, teaching, loving, giving, caring. Parenting is for TEAMS. Dr. D.
