This week we are all sharing articles about making our homes Family-Centered instead of Child-Centered. Today Valerie Plowman, the author of Chronicles of a Babywise Mom, is kicking off our week by writing about having the mindset that baby is joining the family and the family is adding a baby.

Here is an excerpt from her article:

Baby joins a family. Families look out for each other. Families help each other. Families sacrifice for each other  Families support each other. This is what baby is joining. And the family is adding a baby. Not a puppy. Puppies take work, but puppies can be expected to tag along or stay at home in the kennel. Babies can't do that.
