With this in mind, it becomes pretty clear and easy to understand why sharing with others does not come naturally to them. As parents, it is important that we mold...

People seem to have become more and more self-absorbed and unwilling to consider another human being before him or herself and children feel more and more entitled to whatever it is they...

Children, especially older children, tattle to manipulate, control, get revenge, or get attention. Typically, tattle tailing exists between siblings due to feeling of sibling rivalry, but can exists anywhere in any...

Is the child who is darting around the house and never stopping a hyperactive child, or just a normal child? To differentiate between the two, one must understand that it is the quality and quantity...

It doesn’t matter if that fear is real, like tackling the big jungle gym they’ve watched from a distance, or imaginary, like monsters under the bed. I want nothing more than my child to skip on his merry way and experience only happy th...

Lacking the ability to think about the consequences of their actions before they act, these are children often unfairly labeled as “trouble-makers”, “difficult” or “disruptive”, not to mention making them prone to injuries and accidents becau...

People of all ages, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds will experience grief during their lifetimes. The death of a loved one, a divorce, a friend, a pet, a company, financial loss; the list is endless. As adults, we ex...

We do our best to feed our children healthy food, take CPR classes, learn how to treat wounds, and work out an emergency plan should we need one.
