I am not a perfect parent, and with four kids, I am faced with the same issues most of our readers are. Thankfully, as the Editor-in-Chief of Today's Parent I have access to some of the most respected experts in the industry, so if something comes up that I can't solve simply by listening to my mother’s instinct then I happily ask for help.
My list of parenting challenges is long; in the past, I experienced infertility, placenta previa, C-sections (and the so-called “regular” delivery option, too), sibling rivalry, separation anxiety and every kind of sleep issue you can think of. Now that my kids are between the ages of five and 10, many of those items still prevail. Oh! And, I have a marriage to nurture and a career that I love. In other words, I am your typical parent.
