It doesn't take a lot of money for a family to have fun together. Rather than break the family bank at expensive theme parks and other venues of that sort, consider all the things you can do together closer to home.
You spent nine months looking forward to the day your baby is born. Suddenly you realise that you and your partner have different views on parenting. It isn't surprising really, when you think about it, because you have both been brought up differently by different parents. Now it's time to find a middle ground, so that the two of you can parent effectively...
Children and teenagers need to know and observe a few important rules so that they will have a safe journey on the information highway. It's a reality that pedophiles and other criminals use the internet to carry out their misdeeds. Becoming familiar with a teen's real life and insinuating themselves into the teen's life by sympathising and understanding is called grooming. Miscreants of this nature are quite methodical in securing their victims. How to avoid them?
The teen years are naturally turbulent years, when surging hormones set off emotions that are difficult to get under control. These hormones and resulting emotions can overwhelm children who are moving through adolescence...
A child's world can tilt precariously when his parents decide to get divorced, and all too often parents relinquish the one thing that children need more than anything else: consistency in discipline. A child whose emotions are falling all over the map is experiencing higher levels of insecurity. His behaviour can become troublesome as he acts on these fears. This presents added disciplinary problems at a time when a divorcing mom is at her lowest reserves. She must find ways to help her child deal with his emotions even as she gets a handle on her own.
You've raised your own kids, and now you have grandchildren. With all the experience tucked under your belt you should be a wealth of advice and information for the raising of these bundles of joy, right? Right, except that the number one tip for being a terrific grandmother is to lay low on the advice until you are asked for it...
