Dogs or cats?

"Dogs, but only because our dog Melvin would be very upset to hear me mention cats! I grew up with both and love dogs and cats so much. When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian and told my parents that I would be a better person if I had a cat. I was only 5 at the time, but they both swear that I was indeed a better, nicer person when I got a cat!" - Stephen

My philosophy on parenting is...

"My philosopy on parenting centers around love and logic and of course staying flexible, because as the child grows their personality will shift and evolve and we'll need to ensure we support them on their journey. Love and logic really focuses on loving the child no matter what the circumstance, and helping them grow and make their own decisions based on logic and teaching them their choices have outcomes, whether those be positive or negative. this really helps the child develop critical thinking and shows that you are supporting them rather than telling them who they should be or what they should do. Love, support, structure, and education is the foundation I believe in, to provide the child the best possible options as they grow up." - Jonathan
