Videos on Planning for Parents and Kids

The internet holds a vast wealth of ever-expanding information. Essentially, anyone can teach themselves anything using only a laptop computer. For some people learning through reading is the most efficient way to learn, but educational videos can be a better resource for some people to learn.  We at South County Child and Family Consultants have found a great selection of videos, for all ages, to learn about planning skills.
