Teach Your Kids to be Green
Parenting
Written by Mike Hawks
Teaching our children to preserve the environment and the natural resources of our planet is essential. Today's kids are fast learners and observers, and they retain and use the knowledge they absorb. Whatever they learn at an early age becomes a part of them for the rest of their lives.
Making a Healthy Empty Nest
Parenting
Written by Joe Baker
It's not uncommon for a parent to feel conflicted about preparing their child for that moment when they leave home to begin their own life as an adult. There is a bittersweet feeling associated with finally realizing your child's independence. The alternative, however-- creating a co-dependence for parent and/or child--is neither healthy nor ethical.

Never Say Never
Parenting
Written by Jennifer Redmond
It's a universal experience. Before you have children, you look at the most ill-behaved child and think that your offspring will never act in this manner. Your child will never throw a fit in the grocery-store checkout line, will never misbehave in church, will never defiantly blurt "NO" in front of your most proper relative, will never push his baby sister in anger or hit the neighbor's daughter. Your well-researched disciplinary methods will result in a respectful youngster who will never make you look like the worst mother ever.
