| Article Title :: How To Use Positive Child Discipline |
| |
| I am a single mother of a 17 year old boy. He has turned out so great. Honor Student. Just a loving person. I attribute this to the way I brought up my son. I can't say I never yelled at him--that would not be true but I did not hit my son. Hitting is just a way of getting out your anger quickly. Verbal abuse is just as bad. So what can a mother do to raise her children in a loving way.I have also ran a daycare center for children many years ago and have been around a lot of children throughout my life. My sister has a 14 year old daughter and she going through h*ll right now. I can see everything she is doing wrong. And it is very simple...Do you remember when your child wa (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Values Are We Giving Our Children? |
| |
| On a bright Sunday morning, a couple of weeks ago, I went to South London to receive a message sent from Nigeria. As I entered the lift, I saw a couple, apparently in their early 20s, smoking marijuana while their young son sat comfortably in his push-chair. As I was going down through the staircase, I saw another three children in their teens smoking marijuana and drinking beer.The above situation depicts the state of our children abroad. What values are we giving our children in foreign lands? Is it the environment or our work that forbids us from giving our children good values, home training, love and care? Or did we dump the values we were brought up with at the airport as (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Natural Disasters: Help Your Child Cope With The Anxiety |
| |
| How on earth can you help your family cope with the anxiety
and fear that natural disasters strike into the heart of
everyone?In early 2005, for example, the world was rocked by the
tsunami in South East Asia that killed thousands and left
many homeless and orphaned.Yet, at the Edinburgh International Festival yesterday I saw
a group of Sri Lankan children, all victims of this natural
disaster, perform a dance routine based on a play by
Shakespeare.Their smiling faces and youthful exuberance left no one in
any doubt that these kids had not only survived, but had
been helped to grieve, move on, and live life to the full
again.It can be done.But what of o (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Parenting Your Teenager: 6 Tips for Dealing with Bad Report Cards |
| |
| One of the basic issues we need to understand is that parents and teens view school very differently. This is important because often we believe that our kids look at school the same way we do.In many cases, nothing could be further from the truth.For parents, we work and want to do well in our jobs. So we think because our kids don't work full time or at all, then school is their full-time job, and they should want to excel.For teens, as well as many younger kids, school is their social world interrupted by six to seven classes a day.This different view is the cause for many dinner-table squabbles.Every now and then, as parents describe the problems wit (read full article) |

Your body tenses up after each drop of water as you anticipate the next one coming. Your nerves feel frayed as you find yourself helpless and powerless to get out of this situation!

| Article Title :: Life Lessons Learned in My Underwear |
| |
| For several years now, I've told the following story as a keynote presentation when I do speaking engagements:When our oldest son was a toddler and teething heavily, he woke up one morning at 4 screaming and crying. My wife nudged me as a reminder that it was my turn to get up with him.All the regular attempts to get him back to sleep did not work, so I decided to take him for a drive, which had been working for about a month or so. The problem was I was wearing only a T-shirt and underwear. My ID and pants were in the bedroom where Lauren had already gone back to sleep.If I learned anything in that first year of parenthood, it was: Never wake a sleeping baby, and mor (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Parenting Your Teenager: Ask Questions |
| |
| Many parents seem to be more than a little confused about what they have a right to know about their teens.The question I often get goes something like this:"We want to know where our 16-year-old son is going to be, and who he is with. He makes it sound as if we are the most out-of-it parents, and that it is abusively embarrassing to him that we want to know what he and his friends are doing. Are we being fair?"You have the right, need and obligation to know all these things, and more. I believe that every parent of a teen has the right to know and the crucial need to know several pieces of information that I call the W's.These crucial W's are:1) Who the (read full article) |
