If you are expecting your first child, in the process of adopting or beginning to foster an infant, or are interested in becoming a caregiver to a child under one year of age, everything you need to know is right here! Pamela works with all types of families, including same sex parents, adoptive parents, extended families, and single parents with the same caring and supportive style.

Unlike some parenting books, First Time Parenting with Confidence encourages parents to trust themselves and their child to develop their own style and relationship, while explaining options, and safety tips. She never offers advice without explaining the reason for it. She respects that every family has traditions, needs, and pressures that are unique, and addresses even difficult topics like post partum depression in a respectful way.
