Community
The STAR community
The STAR Parenting community consists of people who wish to improve their child guidance or parenting skills.
- People who want to share ideas and insights with others.
- People who are willing to see children as individuals – recognizing their different temperaments, experiences and developmental stages.
- People who are willing to be responsible for their own feelings, actions, and growth.
The community has parents, teachers, doctors, care givers, counselors – all who care about children and families.
