No one likes to talk about dying, but accidents and illnesses don't discriminate. Over and over I see families who had all the best intentions to get their estate plans in place, then they get caught off guard with a sudden death or diagnosis. No one thinks it will happen to them, until it does.
 
As a mother of two little girls, I more than understand that when you're raising a family, your daily to do list becomes your top priority. Which in turn makes it hard to get everything else done. But this is an important one. Because, with estate planning, there is such a thing as being "too late."
 
One reason parents procrastinate is their inability to agree on a specific guardian. Often times, this is so daunting that many parents give up before even starting. But as difficult as this may be, it is much better that you make this decision rather than a judge who does not know you, your children, or the potential guardians. Naming guardians yourself will avoid fights between both sides of the family and will protect your children from needless friction and heartache.
 
To learn more on how to name a guardian and protect your children with an estate plan, come to the next The Pump Station & Nurtury's Sizzling Hot Topic Lecture Invest in Your Nest: Protect Your Family with Estate Planning and Life Insurance on Nov. 5th in Hollywood and Nov. 11th in Santa Monica. To register please call 310-998-1981 for the Santa Monica location or 323-469-5300 for the Hollywood location. Click here for class and instructor info.
 
If you have any questions about how to name guardians for your children, feel free to get in touch at 818-956-9200 or info@tatiyantslaw.com. I'd be happy to answer your questions. And remember, as overwhelming as it may seem, the alternative is much scarier.

Few new parenting decisions are as stressful and controversial as the choices parents make regarding their infant's sleep. With so many conflicting opinions on sleep from books, professionals, family and friends, it can be overwhelming for parents to choose the best sleep approach for their family. We all know that sleep is important for your infant's growth and development, but while sleep itself is a natural process, developing healthy sleep habits is a learned skill. The goal of this workshop is to help parents create healthy sleep habits for their family. This workshop will provide you answers to such common sleep questions as: 

  • How much sleep should my infant be getting?
  • What are age appropriate sleep expectations?
  • How can I establish good sleep habits to improve my infant's sleep?
  • Should my infant be on a nap schedule, and if so, how can I establish one?

Come take this workshop and learn helpful strategies and tips to gently help your infant get the sleep he or she needs.

Every parent wonders, "What is my baby trying to say?" Two years is an awfully long time to wait for the answer! What if your baby could tell you exactly what she's thinking? What if he could tell you that she's wet or hungry? Wouldn't it be wonderful to understand your baby's needs and for your baby to be understood? It's possible, today, right now, with SignShine®.

Are you ready to get started? On your marks, get set, sign! During this hour and a half workshop parents will get the complete low down: research, benefits, and answers to all your questions. You'll learn when and how to start communicating with your child via Sign Language and learn fun and functional signs. Not only will you walk away with useful handouts, but you'll also learn how to enrich your child's development of language, speech, vocabulary, and intelligence using American Sign Language (ASL). Practical signs, interactive games, songs, storytelling, music, movement and parenting skills.
