| Article Title :: Teach Your Children - Without Them Knowing They Are Learning! |
| |
| The great thing about children is they absorb knowledge like a sponge. The downside to this is that they are typically wise to the fact that they don’t want to sit down and be taught, fortunately as parents we can think of ways around that! Here are some great ideas of ways to promote learning with your children.Read with your child, or better yet, take turns reading to each other. One-on-one reading is less common at schools and your child will benefit from having the extra practice time. Try to keep the books at the same reading level as your child is at, or one step below. The goal is to make it a pleasurable and relaxing experience and in doing so there is a greater chan (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Time To Connect With Your Teen |
| |
| While on a recent trip to the grocery store, I happened to hear a mother telling her teenage daughter not to answer her ringing cell phone. Of course, the daughter explained to her mother that "she just had to answer it" As the mother was in the middle of stating how she barely gets two minutes of her daughters time in a day, and her daughter answering the ever so "important" call anyways, all I could think was how much I could relate with this poor woman. In fact, I'm sure most parents with teenage children can relate to her as I did.On the Parents side of the coin, it's like we went from diapering our children and being the center of their universe to complete strangers..!

| Article Title :: Parenting Your Teenager: What to Do When Your Teen Feels Left Out |
| |
| On a recent Saturday evening, I noticed a young teen-age girl crying alone. My first impulse was to go over and check on her. Worried that my approach might be taken the wrong way, I just smiled at her and went in the store to meet my wife. I forgot about it until we came out to the car.Same girl, still crying.My wife went to see what was going on. Turns out that the girl was upset because she'd been treated badly by some friends and felt left out. My wife told her she went through that, too, as a kid. Then the girl hit her with the big question:"Does it get any better?"Does it? Well, yes and no.The yes partWhen you are young, it seems almo (read full article) |

| Question 1
“How do I get more time to
play?”
Answer:
Schedule it in.
Why? Because if you don’t schedule it you
will generally let other things have a higher
priority and put yourself and a life further
down the list.So just write 15 minutes a day, play time
into your diary and don’t change it for
anything. If you have little kids it may be
five x three-minute blocks for you.
To get started, get your diary NOW and
write in one fun thing you have been
hanging out to do. Call a friend and tell
them that you are going to do it, and DO
IT today.Question 2
“What happens when I feel
guilty for not having
enough time with the
kids?”
Answer:

| How excited do kids get with the start of school approaching? Getting kids to go from the freedom of school holidays to move to that place of being settled and ready for school can be a challenge for some parents.

| Article Title :: How to End the Misery of Bedwetting |
| |
| When a child wets the bed they worry. Children tend to become dry
during the day more easily than at night. During the day they are
awake and aware of their feelings and can go to the toilet normally.
However, at night, when they are asleep, the usual feelings of a full
bladder aren't sufficiently strong to wake them. The result is a wet
bed. Or, young children have to continue wearing diapers at night.Fairly soon they realise this is not normal. They wonder why they
don't need a diaper during the day, but do need one at night. They
might also talk to siblings or friends and discover that they don't
need a night-time diaper. This will only compound their worries.Throughout c (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How Useful Are Bed Wetting Alarms |
| |
| Whenever parents discuss how to deal with bed wetting, the topic
of alarms inevitably gets raised. Bed wetting alarms can be useful
devices, but in spite of the popularity with which they get
discussed, they should not really be considered a first line option.
Bed wetting alarms are highly useful, but they are probably only
worthwhile once you have tried a few other methods.Children all develop at different rates. A child who hasn't been able
to master staying dry at night, may well be able to do some other
task that a 'dry' child cannot do. Never forget, if your child wets the
bed, they are almost certain to be better than other children at
some other developmental achievement. Al (read full article) |

| Article Title :: More Water, Not Less, Will Help End Bedwetting |
| |
| Children are notoriously bad at drinking enough liquids. They are so
busy playing they sometimes 'forget' to drink. Sometimes, children
seem like camels - able to go for ages without having a drink.
Obviously, when they are thirsty they will rush indoors for a drink.
But often they look for sugary, caffeine-laden drinks which are great
for quenching thirst, but do little for the body's fluid levels.That's because the caffeine in many drinks leads to extra urination.
The result is that more liquid goes out of the body than is taken in.
And therein lies a problem. Your child's body has inbuilt
mechanisms to maintain the liquid levels. A lack of liquid intake,
combined with the effect (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Camps for Troubled Teens: Disciplines and Wilderness |
| |
| Parents looking for a quick fix usually choose troubled teen camps. There are two types of teen camps: boot camps and summer or wilderness camps. They usually last from one to six weeks, and while teens may shows signs of improvement for days or even weeks after coming home, they often revert back to old behaviors after the fear of authority disappears.Boot camps are military-style facilities that use discipline, military exercises, rigorous physical training, and fear of authority to transform a troubled teen into a “good soldier” who follows rules. Unfortunately, most boot camps do not address underlying emotional or behavioral problems. Without therapy or behavior modificati (read full article) |
