| Article Title :: Parents: You Can Do Something About Professional Sports Ethics |
| |
| Most of us can agree that there is a lack of ethics standards within professional sports today. The fact that many of today’s sports heroes are ethical is a stroke of luck. The fact is - many sports superstars are good people, but what about the “bad apples” that shame their sport, teammates, communities, fans, and team owners?Many children look up to professional players as role models. They copy the actions of their “super heroes,” even down to drug abuse, trash talking, steroid use, bad attitudes, and getting away with crimes.Some sports heroes don’t like to sign autographs, disrespect the fans, and do not feel it is part of their job to be a good role mode (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Do You Teach Your Children About Money? |
| |
| Whether we realize it or not we teach our children about money every day. Sometimes we teach with words and sometimes with actions. I’m sure at one time or another the following scenario as happened to you or something close to it: “Mom, can we go buy some toys?” You say, “We don’t have the money for that right now.” Your children reply, “Just go to the ATM and get the money.” You then make a comment to the effect, “There has to be money in my account in order to get money from the ATM.” I still remember the first time I had that conversation and my children’s jaws dropped. It never occurred to them that you had to have money in order to get money out of the ATM (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Fizzy Sherbet – A Sweet Science Lesson for Your Kids! |
| |
| Fizzy sherbet in a paper bag with a strawberry lollipop was probably my favorite treat as a child, but I never knew what was in the sherbet and why it sparkled and tingled on my tongue! Try making some with your kids and enjoy a mini science lesson in the process.The basis of the sherbet is icing sugar (confectioners’ sugar). 50g will make enough for about 6 children. For that amount you will also need a scant teaspoon each of bicarbonate of soda and citric acid. You can buy the latter, in the form of a white powder, very cheaply in small quantities from your chemist or pharmacy. Children will also enjoy having a lollipop or liquorice stick to dip into the sherbet.Simply m (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Parenting Your Teenager: 6 Things to Stop Doing Right Away |
| |
| 1. STOP focusing on what you are going to make your teen-ager doIt doesn't work. When our kids are infants, we are in total charge. Between ages 3 to 13, kids still really like us, and often will go along with what we want.However, from 13 on they realize they are as big as we are, and they can really do a lot of what they want. So, stop focusing on what you are going to make them do and start focusing on what you are going to do. How you are going to respond to what they do; what you will give and what you will withhold; how you are going to model good choices for them. Focus on what you are going to do, because it's the only thing you can really control.2. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Seven Keys to Child Obedience |
| |
| Learning obedience is an important part of child development. This is the tool that allows you as parents to train your child. Through obedience your child will learn self-control and develop other positive character traits that he will need as an adult.However, obedience cannot be forced upon the child. Parents who simply command their children will foster resentment, which will eventually lead to rebellion. In fact, some researchers feel that poor parenting techniques contribute to the development of oppositional defiant disorderin some children. Although you can punish a child for not obeying, this will not foster any long-term obedience. When the child reaches his teen yea (read full article) |

| "Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be
extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired."
--Mother Theresa ‘Twas one of those days when my husband left promising to
return home a little early, and to bring with him a pizza.I had started the day, even, in one of those relatively rare but still
very real moods in which the best I was going to be able to do in
my role as a stay-at-home mom would be to fake a smile and turn my back,
when necessary, to count to ten.It was on this particular day that the girls and I were
heading to a distant store to pick out just the right
gift for someone. My 3-year-old, who is much
