| |
| Last night Tom’s daughter, Sue, came out of her room to see her dad and said, “I got another one of those instant messages.

The result of this is that she no longer likes to turn her computer on.Sue is now 14 years-old and in the 8th grade. She has been bullied at school for a number of years and they have had a difficult time getting the Principal and teachers to put a stop to it. Sue has two disadvantages that make her a target.

| Article Title :: America's Public schools --- Deteriorating Like They Did In Ancient Rome |
| |
| The citizens of the early Roman Republic enjoyed an education system similar to ancient Athens. It was voluntary and parents paid tutors or schools directly. There was very little government interference, so a vibrant education free market of tutors, schools, and apprenticeships developed.One aspect of Roman society that compromised their education system was that Roman parents wanted their children to learn knowledge that only Greek teachers could provide. However, most Greeks in Rome at the time were slaves.As a result, the Greek teachers could not personally or financially benefit by their work. Often their morale was low and they were subject to harsh discipline. Unlike (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Mom vs. Dad: Navigating Parenting Differences With All Good Intentions |
| |

In the Game of Life, you rolled the dice and accepted the role of co-parent. While the rules seem deceptively simple, (raise child into healthy adult), the game is often complicated by differences in parenting styles between partners. It’s these differences, if unresolved, that can abandon you in the land of defeat and leave you feeling overwhelmed and discouraged, with “game over” flashing on your internal video screen.Bridging a significant difference in parenting styles is one of th (read full article) |

| Ever blown your top to your children, only to regret it ten minutes later?Silly question, it happens to us all no matter how well-behaved our kids or placid and patient we are.

Or rather, their less than perfect behaviour doesn’t warrant the ‘screaming banshee’ response that you have provided.So what do you do if you have blown your top and given your children an absolute verbal blast with steam coming out of both your ears?First, check that your rare outburst of anger is just that – rare. If you are always angry or over-reacting the (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Raising A High Maintenance Child |
| |
| Do you have a high maintenance child?“Thank goodness my second child wasn’t born first. I would have stopped at one child if he was my first,” said a mother at a recent parenting seminar.Many parents can relate to this sentiment. Nature has a way of evening out the score for parents. If you have an easy first born then hang on to your hat because chances are the second or third or fourth born will bring you back to reality.Most families have one child who takes up more of a parent’s time, energy and mindspace than others. These high maintenance children have all sorts of misbehaviours to keep their parents busy or in their service. They may whinge or whine to (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Confident Children - Avoid Overparenting |
| |
| For many years underparenting was perhaps the biggest problem facing children.Recently there has emerged another type of parenting that, whilst never as harmful as underparenting, can be detrimental to children’s healthy development– that is, the trend by many of the current generation of parents to overparent their children.Overparenting occurs when parents solve children’s problems rather than give them the chance to overcome problems themselves. It occurs when parents allow children to avoid legitimately challenging situations so they won’t be inconvenienced. It also occurs when too much control or too much order is imposed on children.Overparenting is pred (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Sibling Fighting - Reduce Sibling Rivalry by NOT Keeping Score |
| |
| Recently, a much-anticipated game of mini-golf with my children soon turned into a disaster. There were smiles all round as we hit off from the first tee but the enjoyment factor was reduced to zero as my children’s smiles were replaced by tears, put downs and whining.The source of all this angst was the scorecard. Or to be more precise competitiveness over the scores. The pressure was on my eldest to make sure that his younger siblings did not turn in a better score than he did. The game was going disastrously for him and it appeared that a thrashing from a younger sister was imminent. And the youngest was reduced to tears as her score didn’t quite match her expectations.
