A son’s problems in school changes mother’s parenting By Carmen M. Woodson-Wray Story Posted:09/13/2014 When Tammy Weatherspoon’s son Elijah got in trouble for missing 13 days of school she had to either accept the fine and consequences for his truancy or become a part of the Indiana Parenting Institute Program. She chose the latter and it made a difference in her life and her priorities as a parent. Weatherspoon said, “the program was nothing that I thought it would be. I thought it would be somebody constantly putting me down and that it would not benefit me at all. As a parent I thought I was doing all that I could.”
