Hello!! We are so excited to start this blog, because as a couple, we have an absolute LOVE for kids and families. Rob is a Marriage and Family Therapist, and Shayna is both a nanny and a graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development. We hope to change the world one family at a time ;)...or at least to be a positive influence in some way. If anything we say does not work for your family, it is OK. Let us know and we can always think about it more and make adjustments!! Everything doesn't work for everyone.
Bottom line...kids are fantastic. They are fun, they are messy, they are not-so-fun sometimes, and at the same time, they teach us more than we could ever imagine. We often don't give them enough credit...but they are what they are, and as adults, we oftentimes forget what it's like to be a small person with a big spirit and a lack of understanding of what to do with all the emotions and experiences that happen inside of us. It is up to us, as grown-ups, to both help our children to learn how to navigate themselves through this crazy life and how to navigate ourselves so that we can also become better. Hopefully this blog can help in some way. And by all means, we are open to suggestions and recommendations, because lets be honest, we learn best when we all work together.
Enjoy!!! :)
