Hello CysticFibrosis.com community - My name is Lisa Greene and I'm the mom of two children with CF. In fact, I know many of you here! I've been blessed with the opportunity to team up with Foster Cline M.D., a child psychiatrist and co-founder of Love and Logic which is a very well known educator and parenting program that is taught in school systems across the country.
Over the years of raising our two kids with CF, I've had so many questions similar to the ones I see you asking. Dr. Cline helped me answer these questions and many others I hadn't even thought of! The result is our book "Parenting Children with Health Issues." We teach this material at CF clinics and children's hospitals around the country and presented it at the 2009 CF Foundation conference.
The tools you are about to learn are based on years of research in psychology. In fact, there is a growing body of research within the CF and diabetes communities about the impact of parenting responses on the health and happiness of children with medical issues.
It is clear that having good parenting skills matters. And the really good news is that the skills are simple! That's what you'll be learning through this series: practical, effective, easy-to-apply parenting tools that will help make your life easier and your children healthier.
We're looking forward to your questions and getting to know you better.
Happy Parenting!
Lisa and Foster
