Alison Curtis: I am using the new year to find ways to improve my parenting skills

It's the time of year when we vow to ourselves (and others) that we will make certain changes in our lives for the coming year. There are some really obvious goals people set at the beginning of a year then there are some really personal targets people set out as well.

However this year, like last year, I think a lot of people took the pressure off from the tradition of betterment to focus more on “survival.” We spoke about this on my show on January 1st and most of the listeners said that they weren’t making any resolutions this year instead they were continuing their focus on keeping their families happy and healthy.
