About the Author

Carolyn Bergmann Usher

 

Although her writing resume runs to multiple pages, Carolyn Bergmann Usher considers the vibrant good health of her primary research subjects, to be her most important credential. Now adults, Carolyn's sons have been both her inspiration and a constant call to humility. When it comes to raising kids, we never quit learning.

But back to the resume. A professional writer for nearly thirty years, Carolyn some thirty titles (booklets to brochures) and dozens of articles in topic areas that cover the family life spectrum: early childhood development, parenting pre-teens, teen fathering, parenting teens, family violence prevention, suicide education and intervention, work and family, parenting through separation and divorce, non-custodial parenting, stepfamilies, boomerang kids, and so on.

Carolyn writes from the perspective of one parent to another. Although her projects are thoroughly researched, she is not a licensed professional counselor or therapist. She urges parents who think they need it, to seek the advice and counsel of professionals.
