Again, Julie I like the way you have worded the options for 3rd stage. Nicely put with no sense of swaying a mother from what she might really want to have happen. I was unaware at the time, but I was given the gift (by a fabulous and supportive collegue) of a physiological 3rd stage with the birt

Hi Julie, I really like the way you have put this. I really believe that the damage to our family units and the greater community, by being rigid with parenting routines, makes for an unhealthy pattern of interpersonal relationships. We ensure the psychological and relational health of future gene
