Family Works!

Welcome to the Parenting 101 section of Family Works! My name is Pamela Caywood. I left a marketing career to pursue a career in parenting. My husband Bill and I are proud parents of our daughter grace and our new son Will! We hope that you benefit from the experience that we have gained from "just doing it" and from interacting with role model parents.

Parenting 101 is a section which has been developed to help parents-to-be, new parents and parents of toddlers. We have organized the bits of wisdom and advice that we have learned since becoming parents. We hope you find our parenting "secrets" helpful and we look forward to adding your "secrets" to this section too. We have said many times, "Wouldn't it be nice to have all of our accumulated parenting information organized in a format that we could share with others?" Well, here it is. We would love your feedback to help make this section more interesting and informative.
