What if there was “one thing” parents could do for 10 minutes a day that would: help their child  become smarter, help decrease behavior problems, and help their child sleep better (which means the parents sleep better, too!)? In this episode we discuss one of the most reliable predictors of a child’s emotional security and cognitive success: the husband-wife attachment and how parents can easily provide a necessary visual and tangible representation of their love for each other. We believe that the greatest overall influence parents have on their children is not as mom or dad but as husband and wife. Does this exclude single parents? No! We also specifically discuss how single parents can provide security for their children and a healthy life-giving home environment in which to raise their children.
