Season's Greetings!

Welcome to our December 2009 Better Parents Better Kids Parenting Newsletter.

Hi, it's Melody Chase.

December is a very busy month because of the holiday season plus Dr Robby and I along with our other Publishing Partner Cucan Pemo held a Christmas Promotion for our Counsellor in a Box Home Study Relationship Program. The sale is over but if you are interested in our Program visit us at http://www.counsellorinabox.com for more information or for Relationship Information and Resources in general visit our Counsellor in a Box Blog at http://counsellorinabox.com/blog and our Free Relationship Video Tutorial website at http://counsellorinabox.com/FreeVideos.html

Anyway I have been so distracted not only did I forget what I was planning to write about I almost forgot about our December Better Parents Better Kids Newsletter entirely.

Luckily I was with my Mom and a friend of hers named Sherri at Sherri's house for dinner.

Sherri is a mother of two sons, one is 15 the other is in his early 20s and both are currently living at home.

I was commenting on how beautifully decorated Sherri's Christmas tree was and Sherri then pointed to two little mini trees nearby that had their own unique styles of decoration.

Sherri asked if I liked the mini-trees as well since each tree belonged to one of her sons and they each decorated their tree however they liked.

I was like - Wow! Yes I do like them and thank you for reminding me that this was the topic I was going to write about for our December Better Parents Parenting Newsletter.

It was quite a coincidence because I was going to be talking to everyone here today about how in the spirit of celebrating your child's uniqueness and freedom of expression I was going to remind everyone about how Tina, a Mother of two young sons who was featured in our Practical Parenting Tips as well as our Aggressive Behaviour Series gave each of her sons a little mini Christmas tree of their own to decorate in addition to assisting in decorating the main family Christmas tree last year.

Tina's children had a blast decorating their own trees and now after talking with Sherri it was very inspiring to see that her son's are never to old to have fun and decorate their own little trees as well!

So it may be a little too late this year, but it is a fun Christmas decorating idea to keep in mind for Christmas 2010 with your family.

In other news our Better Parents Better Kids Team is wrapping up for the year and is preparing for all of the events of the season.

In our January 2010 Newsletter I will be giving some updates on new events and products that we will be developing as we starting gearing up again for the New Year.

So On Behalf of Dr Robby, Tanis, Myself and the Rest of the Better Parents, Better Kids Team We Wish You and Your Family a Fun and Joyful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!
