Dr. Mary Ann's Parenting Tips
Welcome to Simply Parenting and our new and revised website. I'm Dr. Mary Ann LoFrumento. After twenty years in private practice I heard all the anxiety that parents today are having. I created Simply Parenting to bring childcare back to basics, to help bring back the joy of parenting and to encourage parents to trust their instincts. With so much advice, often conflicting, coming from so many sources, I wanted to help this current generation of parents navigate through all this information. My books and DVDs were written and produced with only you, the parent, in mind. And the articles on this website will help you get from infancy to adolescence.
