| Article Title :: My Relationship with my Parents |
| |
| I truly value my relationship with my parents. The role of my parents and my siblings in my life can hardly ever be overstated. To begin with, I should state that my parents have always provided me with support. Their opinion has always played a significant role in my decision making process. Whenever I had a problematic situation over the course of my life I would necessarily talk to my parents about an issue that generated a seemingly irresolvable dilemma. I could go talk to my father about almost anything. When I was in high school and actually all my way through college my parents used to give my valuable advices as to what kind of men I should choose for relationships, what classes I (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Is Your Child Safe From Sexual Abuse? |
| |
| If you have taught your child all the rules of ‘stranger danger’ you have protected him/her from a 1% chance of being sexually abused. This leaves your child vulnerable to the most likely sexual child abuse offender, family members or other trusted adults. 80% of children are sexually abused by a family member, 19% are abused by someone the child knows and trusts. The other little known statistic is the frequency of sexual child abuse. David Finkelhor and Dianna Russell’s research reveals 62% of girls and 31% of boys will be sexually abused by age 18. Unfortunately this statistic is considered low due to the difficulty in gathering data through surveys or reporting agencies. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Does "Just Say No to Abuse" Mean? |
| |
| Children are taught to 'Just Say NO to Drugs," "Just Say No to sexual abuse, "Just Say No if a stranger asks you to do anything for any reason.""Just Say No" can mean many things to each individual. But what does "Abuse" mean? Does "Abuse" mean we will stop hitting/ spanking/paddling children as a form of discipline, because to the child being hit/spanked/paddled is abuse?Or does 'Just Say No to Abuse" mean we will enact more laws to protect only adults from physical abuse (a.k.a. battering or domestic violence)?

| Article Title :: Is Your Child Safe in School? |
| |
| Every year before school starts, the news media reports the startling facts about school supply sales—“School supply sales are down [or up] from last year." I am perplexed. What benefit does that fact make in anyone's life? What is the purpose of reporting this? How will that information help me or anyone else? As I mused about this inane topic, I realized the most important information for children returning to school is not reported. The most important information parents and children need when going to school is how to protect children from sexual abuse perpetrators. Every year throughout the world several hundred children are sexually abused (sexually assaulted) by teachers, bus d (read full article) |

Or she has a slew of servants.The average newborn cries more than any new mom ever anticipates. The average newborn sleeps from 15 minutes to 2 hours before waking up for feeding.

| Article Title :: Parenting Guide - Be There For Your Kids |
| |
| Finding time to bond with your kid is an important thing...and also a tough one. With a demanding job, pressing appointments and only 24 hours in a day to spend, it is not unusual that a parent can hardly find time to be with his children.The usual parent would be up early in the morning, take his breakfast and rush off to a 9 to 5 job, and to beat the traffic, this would be an early exit from the house when the children would probably still be sleeping. When the children are awake and at home, he is in the office or working in the field. And when he returns from work, especially if he works overtime, it will be somewhat late at night with the children already sleeping and in bed. (read full article) |
