Hello! Parents and Guardians
This is my first blog entry. I think a good place to start is to share that my life’s focus has been my passion for supporting families to be healthy and thrive. What I have witnessed as a pediatrician is that parents generally try very hard to be good parents, yet are still unsure of themselves. I learned that a little information can go a long way if it is given early enough. So much energy is saved when serious problems are prevented.
I have devoted all my energy to exploring what works to prevent problems while raising children and I enjoy sharing what I have learned. I have loved kids and working with families all my life–starting with teaching swim lessons as a teen, becoming a pediatrician and then a parent, starting a non-profit organization to support families, and finally becoming a life coach. My latest project is writing two books for parents–Raising Our Daughters: The Ultimate Guide to Healthy Daughters and Thriving Families and Raising Our Sons: The Ultimate Guide to Healthy Sons and Strong Families. These books contain the best of what I have learned so far.
In this blog I look forward to sharing information with you, a small amount at a time. I’ll be addressing common issues you and other parents struggle with.
With admiration for all you do,
Dr. Kathy

Hi! I’m Dr. Kathy. Welcome to my website! Although Family Empowerment Network is formally closed, we want to keep these resources available to you. Our belief is that parents are the most wise and intuitive about what is best for their children. However, parents sometimes need the support of effective, timeless, compassionate parenting information and strategies. On this website you will find our three parenting books on boys, girls, and kids’ social lives and ten years of monthly newsletter articles. In addition, a powerful, under-recognized resource is the support of other parents. Here you will find how to use our books as discussion guides for monthly self-led parenting groups. One last resource: I am still available to give talks and workshops.
