"Parenting"
As the father of a toddler, I am an expert on dirty diapers. I know exactly what to do with them: throw them out!
Our children are growing up bilingual in the French part of Canada – Québec. “That’s fine”, says everyone. “Even though they’ll probably start speaking later because they’re learning two languages at once, they’ll catch up.”
Do you praise your child when he fulfils a basic bodily function? Do you praise your child for obeying the laws of gravity? Do you give praise for simple socialisation procedures that your child practises every day?
Here in Kansas, where we live, the leaves are turning beautiful shades and falling off the trees. Just last week, I was babysitting some little boys and we were playing outside. The area around their home was carpeted in leaves—-ready for our enjoyment! We raked the leaves into huge piles, jumped in them, buried people [...]
Although nothing anybody says can ever completely prepare a woman for the day she delivers her first baby, there are some simple suggestions that should help make this amazing experience a little bit easier.
What should the goals for counseling be when the patient has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?
O.K. I’ve heard it a hundred times from my prison guard friends, “I don’t believe that there is such a thing as ADD. It’s only something made up from the drug companies to drug our children.” They know because they read an article in a magazine, or saw a show on TV once. I guess [...]
1. They can make mistakes under your guidance
When you talk about multiply your child’s intelligence, you can’t help but to mention about Dr. Glenn Doman. He is the founder of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential and began pioneering the field of child brain development since 1940. He and the institute are famous for their pioneering work with brain-injured children [...]
Just a couple of years ago Annie helped her parents get the washer & dryer moved from the basement to a bedroom on the first floor after her mom missed the last step & broke her toe. Annie reassured them that she would make sure they would stay in their own home no matter what. [...]
When we consider that the word allowance means, “allowing for,” it puts that “A” word into better perspective.
“Family Matters” was the headline that caught my attention in the newspaper. That’s the name of my radio program here in California’s central valley. It was interesting enough for me to buy the paper and read the story. The article was about a recent study called The National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health, a survey [...]
Every school year parents and students dutifully trudge through the malls in search of the perfect sneaker or the cool new outfit for the coming school year. However, it’s unlikely that the new shoe or shirt will benefit them as much as a new design in the bedroom. That’s because a bedroom makeover will create [...]
Although it’s hard to say when the first stuffed dogs appeared, I would guess that it was soon after dogs were domesticated. We do know that as long as there have been children, there have been dolls, rattles, miniature weapons, and hand-made animals. Anthropologists have found evidence of toys dating back to the earliest records [...]
According to researchers, most children enter school with a good sense of self-esteem (at least as defined by psychologists) and yet leave high school with a poor sense of self-esteem. What happens in those years between starting school and finishing school?
I remember watching my 18-month-old son eat a big frosted cookie while I was carrying him out of the bakery. I asked him, “Can you give mommy a bite?” He leaned over and gently bit me on the cheek.
Childhood friendships are as special as they are a necessary part of growing up. While some of our children will maintain these friendships into adulthood, many will not. Kids move away or they find other friends with more current interests and grow apart. Whatever form a childhood friendship is taking, know that these relationships are [...]
Prioritize.
Learn to say No.
Steal some time for yourself.Don’t be too proud to ask for help.Don’t be too proud to accept help.Listen to those people around you that have been there, done that and got the t-shirt to prove it.Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do.Don’t let this [...]
It’s hard to explain to the uninitiated the changes that a child will bring to your life – nothing is quite the same again. If you are an expectant father (or even mother) or just considering the prospect of parenthood, do the following 10-step program so you can learn what you’re in for.
What makes parenting so challenging at times? One widespread research study reports that feeling “unprepared” tops the list for many parents’ causes of dissatisfaction. And parents of teenagers, in particular, may feel this acutely as so many changes converge at once: adolescents are changing in every conceivable way while they often push parents away in [...]
The First Reason: For one thing, child development experts are concerned that previous generations of parents were putting too much pressure on their children to potty train early. Children were often being punished for not learning to use the toilet.
Life is full of competition — even in childhood. Kids compete for good grades, the attention of their parents and teachers, and even to get picked for ‘the right team’ in gym class. There’s nothing wrong with encouraging healthy competition in your children. It can teach kids to perform at their best while encouraging teamwork [...]
Home schooling. What is it? What does it mean to you? How do you home school? These were just some of the questions I had when we started thinking about home schooling our children.
If your child has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder then at some point you will be asking the question, “Will my child ever outgrow it?”
