<p>If you think you know, there are actually several right answers including adoption, surrogate, IVF and others.</p>
<p>There are <strong><em>usually</em></strong> several right answers to questions which is why I am so thrilled about the success of a collaborative work that <strong>launched on September 1<sup>st</sup> and hit #15 on Amazon in the parenting category on September 2<sup>nd</sup>.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Parents-Ask-Experts-Answer-Nurturing/dp/0876590229/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1407247124&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=tina+nocera">Parents Ask, Experts Answer: Nurturing Happy, Healthy Children</a> provides multiple answers to questions for parents of children age’s two to six.  A panel of thirty-five experts offers advice on some of the most challenging issues faced by parents:</p>
<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>discipline</td>
<td>bullying</td>
<td>behavior</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>sleep</td>
<td>caregivers</td>
<td>play</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>family relationships</td>
<td>siblings</td>
<td>separation</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>special needs</td>
<td>education</td>
<td>friendship</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>technology</td>
<td>peer pressure</td>
<td>money</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The best part about this work is that you get to see <strong><em>all</em></strong> expert answers in one place (all questions have at least three expert responses) so that you, the real expert in knowing your child best, gets to choose which response fits best for your unique child and situation.</p>
<p>This concept is so unique it is protected by US Patents <a href="https://www.google.com/patents/US6193518?dq=tina+nocera&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=b64MVPn8AtKlyASz4IHIAw&amp;sqi=2&amp;pjf=1&amp;ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA">6193518</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/patents/US6482012?dq=tina+nocera&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=ZK4MVIurGIieyATy7oDoDQ&amp;sqi=2&amp;pjf=1&amp;ved=0CEAQ6AEwBQ">6482012</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Thank you</strong> for supporting this work!</p>
<ul>
<li>Please <a href="https://www.amazon.com/review/create-review?ie=UTF8&amp;asin=0876590229&amp;channel=detail-glance&amp;nodeID=283155&amp;ref_=cm_cr_dp_wrt_summary&amp;store=books">write a review</a> if you&#8217;ve purchased and read the book</li>
<li>Share the book information with your family and friends via Facebook, Twitter, or email.</li>
</ul>
<p>After all, it’s much easier on your relationship to suggest they read the book rather than giving advice!</p>
<p>Have a great week!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><strong><em>Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365 page book.  Write a good one.  -Brad Paisley</em></strong><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>December 1st I promised to perform <a href="http://parentalwisdom.com/blog/?p=1597">24 Random Acts of Kindness</a>, and post tweets each day &#8211; see #randomactsofkindness2013 .</p>
<ul>
<li>I <em>suspected</em> at first it would be a challenge to find ways to be kind.</li>
<li>I <em>hoped</em> that as I started down this path, it would feel natural.</li>
<li>I <em>learned</em> you feel better doing RAOK thus creating a positive momentum.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a good tie into the first day of the New Year, and the hopes that come along with a new beginning.  There are hundreds of motivational quotes that we all read.  Want to know a secret?  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Reading them isn&#8217;t enough &#8211; you actually have to act!</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Buying a workout DVD is great, but you have to open it &amp; exercise daily.</li>
<li>Resolving to spend more time with your kids is meaningful, but you have to <strong><em>put down the phone</em></strong> and be present.</li>
<li>Deciding to reach out to people that you’ve meant to connect with is nice, but you have to (get the irony here) <strong><em>pick up the phone</em></strong> and call them.</li>
<li>If you want to improve things in your life, then don’t waste your life.  Start doing things that you love to do.</li>
<li>If you are happy with the status quo, then keep on doing what you’re doing.</li>
</ul>
<p>I will be posting motivational tweets each day; please feel free to <a href="https://twitter.com/parentalwisdom ">follow me</a>.</p>
<p>Happy New Year, and 2014 &#8211; please be good to us!</p>
