| Article Title :: Choose A Daycare With Care |
| |
| When my wife and I began having kids it was impossible for one of us to quit work to stay home with them. We had always hoped to be in a position financially where one of us could support the family while the other one did the important job of raising our children for the first few years of their lives until they got into school. So, unfortunately, when kids came around and our finances weren't at the level we had hoped, we began our search for the right daycare setting for our young kids.
I am a firm believer that a daycare, when chosen carefully, can be a great place for children to spend their first few years of life. Before my wife and I began our search for the right place (read full article) |

| Article Title :: If You're A Parent Then Parent Well |
| |
| One of my biggest frustrations in life is seeing parents who do not know how to parent. I believe strongly that being a parent is one of life's greatest privileges. However, with this great privilege, like all other privileges, comes great responsibility. One of our greatest contributions to our society and to the generations that come behind us happens in the way that we parent are children. What could be more important than learning how to parent and doing it well?
You've all been there and seen it. A bowling alley late at night. Beside your lane are parents that look like kids themselves. They are enjoying beer and way too many cigarettes. You would never guess they were pare (read full article) |

| Article Title :: ADHD Can Be Understood as a Disorder of Performance |
| |
| Dr. Russell Barkley is an international authority on ADHD. His lectures and writings offer a somewhat different theory on ADHD than generally described in the popular literature. He states that ADHD is actually “… a disorder of performance”. He theorizes the ADHD child to be delayed in their development of self-regulation and self-control. Specifically, the ADHD child cannot effectively pause and think before responding to situational demands. Under developed brain neurology impairs the ADHD child’s ability to delay impulsive responding to immediate “here and now” environmental events.This deficit in behavior inhibition disrupts the ADHD child’s performance at the (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Illogical Use Of Logic With Children |
| |
| Can you recall when you were a child doing something that caused your mother or father upset? Considering the transgression was not too offensive, most likely, you received a lengthy discourse as to why it was quite irresponsible of you to take the actions which were taken. To the same point, do you remember any of those lengthy, passionate lectures given to you by your parents? Most likely the answer is a resounding, “No!” Research into brain activity as it relates to stress informs us that in times of high stress, our thinking processes become confused and distorted, and our short-term memory is suppressed. With this being the case, allow me to make a point which may save both you and (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Earliest Trauma: The Unspoken Impact of Medical Trauma |
| |
| Thousands of children every year are brought into the world in traumatic ways that often times are seldom discussed or processed following the event. These traumatic experiences may vary from a child being born with the umbilical cord around his neck with vital oxygen withheld for seconds to minutes, or a labor that is prolonged, stressful, and unusually painful, to pre-mature birth, separation from the primary care giver for medical purposes, or even surgery. Children who experience traumatic events as their first events of life are typically traumatized in two ways if not more. The first being the experience itself: Whether it’s trauma before the child is born, during the birth process, (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Proactive Parenting -- How to Set Goals for Your Family and Children |
| |
| So often, we parents get caught in a cycle of reactive parenting. A situation comes up and we react, and that seems to be the only way we parent. We go along, moment to moment and day to day and simply react to the circumstances around us. Taking a moment to step out of this cycle to look at the long-term big picture is a great way to get some perspective and begin to head your family in the right direction.We’re so busy. Frantic. Hectic. We wait for the weekends (or the vacation) to have fun with our families. We’re on the go, from morning ‘til night and by the time evening does come we’re often so exhausted that we only have enough energy to sit in front of the TV (read full article) |
