Welcome


This website "COMMON SENSE PSYCHOLOGY" is a compilation of book knowledge and experience I have derived from 72 years of life as a child, sister, daughter, wife of 50 years, mother of 4 children, grandmother of 10 and 30 years as a Marriage, Family, Child Counselor and as a Psychologist.

I have learned that we can only control ourselves and it is extremely difficult to control others - as matter of fact if we try to control another person it usually causes them to do the opposite.

I have listed a number of topics and some common sense approaches to everyday situations and problems.

Common sense does not always tell you exactly how things are or how life works but if we evaluate our own behavior as to how effective we are getting our needs met and bringing happiness to our relationships, we will find more effective ways to enrich our lives.
