Confused!!

So here I am 12 hours after creating this blog sitting in a coffee shop in West Chester, OH with a raging headache...(the copious amounts of coffee are not helping this!) and feeling more overwhelmed and confused than ever!
I have scanned through 40 or 50 different CE posts from the past 12 months in an attempt to gauge what issues are in the forefront of everyone's mind and also to get some inspiration for my book.  All I seem to be doing though is going around in circles and asking more questions than I am answering.
So with this in mind I am changing track and now asking myself several questions:
What do parents/families want to know about CE?
and more importantly...
What do parents/families need to know about CE?
How can I impart all the relevant info in such a way as to be clear, concise and still give a clear understanding of our Educational Principles.....and so set them off in the correct direction regarding education vs therapy?
Do I think this is even possible having read several blog/articles on the challenges of convincing people we are an educational approach NOT a therapeutic one?
I knew that I was embarking on a mammoth task here but it is seeming even more challenging now, am I up to the challenge?  I would like to think I am...I guess we will find out!
