| Article Title :: MORAL ARMOR'S Irrational Parenting, Part II |
| |
| Handing Down Malignancy.Children may begin bright and eager to face the world, but are often inundated with the conditioning of their fear-ridden predecessors speaking of lost dreams—taken by no one in particular. Their guardians appear learned, but seem not to damn the worst traits in men. In facing life’s greatest question, venturing into their future lives based solely on the hopes of an untested mind, they are offered an alternative. The fear-preying lure of their elders is to stay common and small. In place of goals, there will be duty. In place of love, there will be dependency. In place of identity, there will be pretense. In place of understanding, there will be orders. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Parenting Your Teenager: 6 Tips for Effective Discipline and Consequences |
| |
| A parent writes in, ``We are having a hard time in our family deciding on appropriate punishments when our teen-ager breaks family rules. We can't tell if we are too strict or too lenient. What can we do?''This seems to be a place where many parents get stuck. Questions about appropriate punishment and consequences are very important.Now notice, if you will, that I just said punishment and consequences, not just punishment. This is because I believe there is an important distinction to be made.The difference has to do with what our goal is in responding to unacceptable and inappropriate behavior.If it's to vent our anger, control the teen-ager and provoke resen (read full article) |

| Article Title :: In Defense of the Jelly Bean |
| |
| Should a parent give a child a tangible reward when he or she has behaved properly or performed some important task such as doing homework, or helping around the house? Understandably, many parents are hesitant to use incentives, such as prizes, or food treats, to influence their children, especially considering the negative comments by some, but not all, contemporary parenting experts. For many parents, giving their children rewards feels like bribery and to them, should be thus avoided. Some parents object to giving rewards, because they conclude, that a child will end up wanting a reward for everything he or she does! And to these parents, rewarding children seems wrong.In tr (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Moms - Get More Energy Now |
| |
| Let's be honest! When it comes to parenting, men expect
their wives or partners to do the lion's share.There are signs that we're moving toward a more enlightened
age in which ALL parents play their part.But in the meantime, let's concentrate on some help for
tired moms.Apparently the number one question mothers ask their doctors
is, "How can I get more energy?"Fatigue is a serious problem when it robs us of our
happiness, our sense of balance, and even our effective
parenting skills.So what's the answer?Ironically, the best way to overcome the energy crisis is to
first of all spend just a little bit more time and
energy.

| Article Title :: STOP Parental Alienation Syndrome before It Gets a Chance to START |
| |
| Parental Alienation Syndrome was probably first identified and codified by Dr. Richard Gardner in his book of the same name. He first laid out his thesis in 1985 in an article, "Recent Trends in Divorce and Custody Litigation." He expanded this into the book "Parental Alienation Syndrome," and since then, PAS has been written about, studdied, debated, denied, and - of course - has had dozens of websites and forums dedicated to it.A brief overview of PAS will be helpful and will explain more about this condition than quoting from the hundreds of articles written about it. PAS has 4 components, and all 4 must be present (otherwise the situation is called "Parental Alienation"): (read full article) |

| Home schooling benefits children. As a parent, I feel it is important to provide the best opportunities available to my children.

Exposure to a variety of topics, people, and adventures all contribute to a fulfilling educational experience.

| Once upon a time, I thought I had it all. I had a child, a career, the world at my feet. Or, so I thought.With the birth of my second son, my whole world changed. I moved into a new home, got a new car, made new friends. The biggest change, though, was internal. Suddenly, my head started listening to my heart a little more. My career and moving up in the corporate world suddenly became something I HAD to do, because I needed to pay the bills. Suddenly, I wanted what other people had. I wanted to stay home with my kids and take care of my family.Wait a minute, who was this straight from 1950 woman taking over my brain? Was it post-partum insanity or had someone mysteriously s (read full article) |
