I believe most of us have what it takes to be genuinely great parents; regardless if we have been separated, divorced or attempting to co-parent. More often than not, it is through our efforts to juggle an already rather hectic lifestyle that we neglect some of the most crucial aspects of parenting. Beyond the basic requirements of love, nurturing, food, clothing, shelter, and education, the next layer involves four key elements. These four key elements are: Time, Structure, Stimulation, and Protection.

So the host(ess) may get high or cry. Ive seen 5 year old boys and girls all copy one another so one decides to go under the table and then suddenly all the kids go under the table. One decides to jump out the window; they all decide to jump out the window! One runs to the front door when someone arrives late, they all run to the front door. Thoughts can start going through your mind, (I know they go through mine) like: Help! I should know what to do here. Im supposed to be in control here. The parents will think Im doing a bad job and wont pay me if I dont get these kids under control.
