Kids Getting Into Trouble?

2 days ago | 0 comment
My spouse and I have three kids. We feel that not communicating with your kids enough and having regular meetings and discussions, and open communication, can be the cause of kids getting into trouble. We as parents feel that letting and encouraging everyone to speak about things they want to do in life, their goals, their wants, etc. helps us to get closer. During these meetings we found that our kids wanted in some cases, to purchase a computer, or an Xbox, or something of that nature. We decided [...]

Is Your Teen Ready To Date?

4 days ago | 0 comment
Many parents will wonder where did the time go? How did we reach this point? Times are certainly different now. Dating is not what it used to be. No more phone calls from a boy asking for a date, and waiting for him to come by the house to pick you up, and meet your parents. It’s much different when your child becomes a teen. Tweet

Parents with preteens who are starting to think about dating are often in a dilemma. Preteens who are going on a date should not be doing anything more than holding hands, a hug, or a quick kiss. Parents should discuss with their preteens on how to handle situations. If they are not comfortable with hand-holding, etc., let them know they do not have to do anything they are uncomfortable with.  Make sure your child has a cell phone. Some parents use a secret code with their children, such as [...]

Are We Raising Helpless Kids?

13 days ago | 0 comment
As good guiding parents we help our kids to succeed to make the best grades in school, be the best in sports, and be the best in everything the child does. By doing this we are constantly as good parents putting too much pressure on our kids especially within their first 10 years of age. As good guiding parents we should not stress the child on being the number one best in school, and as good parents we should not stress out our children if they’re not number one in their sports.
