| Article Title :: Parents, Kids And Time Alone |
| |
| “What are some of the ways in which you explain to kids that mom and dad need time alone, without feeling guilty about it?”
A journalist, writing an article on having time alone and couple time when you have kids, asked me this question.
Parents will feel guilty only when they believe that they are doing something wrong by spending time alone and couple time without their children.
This is a false belief.
The truth is that children grow up far healthier emotionally when their parents are happy and fulfilled, even if it means that their parents spend less time with them. When parents understand that they are being good parents by tal (read full article) |

| What is it coming too when the law can not uphold the law? with Under age drinkers
In their powerless efforts to control the rising problem with under age drinkers the numbers are increasing day by day. How sad for the parents who have tried in vain to put the kids on the straight and narrow.
These kids may as well be walking arm in arm with a suicide bomber.
Even adults over the years think they have mastered the art of self control when drink symptoms kick in taking the mind and body. I am sorry to say one drink to many and we all end up like a puppet on a string.
Coming back to the parents, we have the caring and not so caring mothers (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How To Use A Token Economy To Shape Your Child's Behavior. |
| |
| A token economy is a behavioral modification technique that was first used in mental institutions to reinforce and establish desirable behaviors in their patients. Today you can find token economies being used in schools, treatment programs, and some families have found its usefulness in shaping their children's behavior. The token economy is a system in which targeted behaviors are reinforced with tokens (secondary reinforcers) and are later exchanged for rewards (primary reinforcers). Tokens can be in the form of fake money, buttons, poker chips, stickers, etc. While rewards can range anywhere from snacks to privileges/activities.

| Article Title :: How To Select The Right Shoes For Your Children |
| |
| It is pretty usual for children to go around in footies or in socks during their first months. At that age, shoes are merely a 'decoration' item because newborns or young babies never walk so they don't need any kind of support for their body and feet. Nevertheless, the minute kids begin to walk, generally quite a few months before or after they turn one, you must know what types of shoes your kid is going to wear. You may need to buy several pairs of new shoes for toddlers and preschoolers quite regularly, so you will probably begin to ask yourself lots of questions regarding your child's shoes.
Picking the right shoes for your kid is not easy. If you are about to buy shoes, yo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Putting Some Thought into Your Children's Birthday Gifts |
| |
| From very early in my childhood, as soon as I learned to, I loved to write. Stories, thoughts, letters – writing was a great joy for me. On my ninth birthday I received a gift that I will always remember. A friend of my mother’s, whom I’d known from birth, gave me a rather large book. The book was bound in dark leather with a red trim, and had no writing on the outside. When I opened it, there was nothing inside but blank lined pages. I absolutely adored that gift, and even at that young age I realized how much thought this woman put into it. She gave me something that was uniquely special to me. I still have that book; filled with everything from fictional stories to the ramblin (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Bath Time Magic For Kids |
| |
| Bath time is the perfect opportunity for parents and children to really get to know each other and spend quality time together.
How you view “bath time” is up to you. Many parents choose to treat it as a chore and dread the evenings – as do their children. In many homes, bath time is about as boring as brushing teeth. You, however, can choose to turn bath time into something special, which both you and your child will look forward to every day. For a child, bath time should be a transition between the noisy, busy world of day and the peaceful, cosy world of bed. With very little effort on your part you can make it a magic time for both of you.
