New Parenting Hangout video interview with Theresa Regan: Parenting Young Children

I had the opportunity to speak with Tom Batkin of NewParentingHangout.com recently.  We spoke about parenting young children.  Tom is gathering interview responses across a variety of topics from individuals across the world as part of his journey to becoming a new parent.  He and his partner Cate are expecting their first little one in June, 2013.  Look for our next video in a few weeks when we speak about sensory symptoms in young ones: how to recognize them and how to improve functioning in your house (e.g., picky eaters, poor sleepers, won't wear certain clothes, crash and bump into other children, spinning, etc).
