| Article Title :: Keeping the Train on Track |
| |
| “Talent is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration.” Thomas EdisonI experienced the privilege and joy of sitting back and watching my daughter perform in a Suzuki Festival this weekend at Yale University. In its glorious Woolsey Hall, oversized, magnificent gilded pipes for the front-and-center organ stared us parents (and more-than-proud grandparents) in our faces while we watched a couple hundred musicians balance pint-sized violins, maneuver mini-cellos and stroke lightweight guitars on stage. Classical and folk music filled the air, starting with Copland’s invigorating “Hoedown” and ending with the Suzuki signature “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How Divorced Parents Keep Kids Engaged |
| |
| Realize three things when you come late, forget to come, or rarely visit your child:
Your child is waiting.
Your child is hoping.
Your child is suffering.As a counselor, I've asked kids, "How do you feel when your parent doesn't come for his/her visit with you?" Here are three common responses:"I don't care."
"It doesn't matter."
"I hate him (her)."Truthfully,it does matter, your child does care, and the hate is really a defense against the pain. Your failure to visit tells your child that s/he is not important.One dad hadn't visited his daughter since she was two. One day he came into her life demanding visitation rights. His daug (read full article) |

| Article Title :: All About the Impossible and There's No Such Thing |
| |
| Ten eventful, exciting years ago a Scottish friend visited and stayed with us in Albany, Western Australia.
At the time I was a single parent bringing up two gorgeous children, a boy and a girl aged seven and four. They still are gorgeous!
John was whispering to my son in the kitchen. They were conspiring together.I went out for a couple of hours and John stayed with the children, presumably teaching them some new card tricks that he had recently mastered. John is a genius at many things.
I came back and had a piece of paper thrust into my hand, with a list of 150 numbered items scribbled on it.
“Now watch this” John grinned at me. “Go on Gareth, remember that list.”

| 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.Most of us are not always ready to get married. We are waiting for the right partner. We have career and money issues. We have emotional issues. We don’t want to get married in hurry and then break up. We therefore weigh all the options and wait for the opportune time. Only after we are satisfied, we get married. Am I correct?Becoming a father is equally difficult. Before becoming a father, you have to make sure that your wife is ready to become a mother. That both of you have se (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How To Talk To Your Tween About Money |
| |
| Teaching financial literacy has been my passion. Over the years I've had an opportunity to speak to parents who want to know how to talk to their children about money and want tips to help them become more independent before they go off into the real world.For many parents it seems like just yesterday that your children were on their way to kindergarten, but now that they're in middle school things seem to be happening way too fast. Tweens seem to go from having play dates to group movie dates right in front of your eyes.And they're fashion conscious and brand sensitive far earlier than we ever were. This is all the more reason for us to help them get a financial grip on mon (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Taking Notes in Picture Form - A Powerful Strategy for Visual-Spatial Kids |
| |
| Who are “visual-spatial learners?” Visual-spatial learners, or VSLs, are those among us with powerful gifts of the right hemisphere. They are our artists, inventors, builders, creators, musicians, computer gurus, visionaries and healers. They are empathic and often very spiritually aware, even when they are very young. They think and learn in multi-dimensional images. However, most schools, most teachers and most curricula are a haven for left-hemispheric thinking, or auditory-sequential learners; children who think and learn in words, rather than images, and in a step-by-step fashion.Those who favor their right hemisphere (at least one-third of the student body) face several (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Sleep Issues for Visual-Spatial Kids |
| |
| When I was pregnant with our first child, somebody gave me a card I’ve never forgotten. It read, “Having a baby is Nature’s way of telling you that you were getting too much sleep!” In the thirteen years since, there have been many a night I’ve longed for an evening of children preparing for bed without incident, dosing off peacefully, remaining blissfully asleep through an uninterrupted night and waking—as a family—thoroughly rested and ready for the day. Since studying the characteristics of visual-spatial learners, those who think in images, not words, I’ve wondered whether or not sleep issues are more common among these kids than among their auditory-sequential counter (read full article) |

| Article Title :: "How To" Tips For Discussing Child Abduction and Molestation with Your Kids |
| |
| Not an easy subject right? Before we begin, the important thing to remember is that you don't want to terrify your kids about the world we live in, or make them feel nervous on a daily basis. In particular with younger ones, we all know children are prone to nightmares when their imaginations are active about any kind of predator.This is important for you as a parent also. We ARE very fortunate in Australia that the rate of non-parental child abductions is low in comparison to other countries. In our eyes though a 'low' rate is still too many, and our aim is that NO children or their families will ever have to go through the unthinkable. Other well reported statistics on the rates (read full article) |
