| Article Title :: Are You Ready To Be A Father? |
| |
| Getting married and having children is the way of life fort all of us. The question is - are we ready to get married and after that are we ready to become father? Why this question? Let us discuss.

| Article Title :: Mom Let Me Off the Hook |
| |
| I come from one of those large (eight kids) 50’s and 60’s Irish Catholic families. My mom worked before she got married and went back to work full-time when I was in fourth grade. She is smart - she had been in the first graduating class of women from the Georgetown U. School of Foreign Service back in the early 50’s, and was President of the local chapter of Mensa when I was a kid. So she rose quickly once she got back into the work force. But when we were little, mom was always at home. There was no such thing as preschool, that I know of - my first organized experience with other children was in kindergarten (and I was terrified to go!).Fast forward 25 years - I’m living (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Fit To Be a Father |
| |
| The fairytale marriage comes to an abrupt end. The glass of the framed wedding picture has been broken. The living room furniture, once considered a place for family meetings and fellowship, has been divided; it will be termed “community property” in legalese and will be fought over in a family court between two parties. The husband and wife will spend hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars arguing over “he said,” “she said,” “he did this,” “she said” – matters that will provide nothing more than an official public record for future reference by the two parties. When the immature behavior of the adults ceases, a judge will bring to the forefront the matter of chil (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Teaching Manners -- The Hows and Whys of Teaching Your Child Manners |
| |
| Sometimes I look at my son’s peers and wonder what on earth their parents can be thinking. These children are often downright rude. They demand things instead of asking, they yell and scream instead of talking, they walk around the house while they eat their dinner, they never think to pick up a thing after themselves, and I very rarely hear even a simple “please” or “thank you.”No, they are not all like that, and they’re not like that all the time, but I find myself consistently wondering where manners went and why parents don’t seem to care anymore.One of our most basic jobs as parents is to teach our children how to get along in the world without us.

| Article Title :: Boys Don't Read - It's True |
| |
| I grew up reading sports stories and playing hockey. So what better subject matter for my first foray into the children's lit genre? "Good luck selling it," a publisher told me when I showed him the manuscript. "Boys don't read."Boys don't read? That was the first I'd heard of it, and I have a five-year old son. I began to research the subject - and sure enough, I found out he was absolutely right. Once boys hit eight or nine years old, they stop reading.Entire forests have been sacrificed in a bewildering array of reports on the subject. Educators tell us that boys are dropping out of arts courses as soon as they can. In testing of primary school children, girls consistentl (read full article) |

| Article Title :: MySpace, Is Your Teen's MySpace Set To Private? |
| |
| When you find your teenagers MySpace and it happens to be set to “private”, you need to ask yourself, what doesn’t my child want me to read?MySpace has this option for younger teens, if you log on and tell them that you are 14(they never verify age)then they are automatically set to private. When your child has his/her account set to private, it will not allow you to read anything in this account, basically you as a parent have been blocked unless you have been accepted by your child as a "friend".
