Vanguard University Assistant Professor of Psychology, Steve Cuffari, writes about parental self-care in his online article in his Intouch Parenting website online. Cuffari remembers the difficulties of working full-time and struggling with managing his two young energetic sons at home. He stresses the importance of staying active, setting apart downtime for yourself, and eating healthy to help regulate intense emotion.
Cuffari, also an Ordained Minister, is currently leading the way as a founding therapist of InTouch Parenting which is a company that is devoted to helping busy parents raise children to thrive in this complex world.
For almost two decades, Cuffari has been teaching psychology courses that range from child and adolescence, adulthood and aging, to foundations of Christian Life. He equips new and experienced parents with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and encourages renewed confidence in parenting.
