Give Kids A Chance
Are you aware that the most wasted age-group in this country is children? So many great ideas, so much energy, so much boundless idealism. So much limitless potential. Why don't we enlist our children's help more often?
Saying "I Love You"
"I love you". Can any words possibly sound sweeter or offer greater comfort? Is any statement more natural--or necessary--between a parent and child? In many families, these words come easily. But if you grew up never hearing them, saying "I love you" may feel somewhat unnatural to you.
When your children aren't very loving...
"I HATE YOU, MOMMY!" OK. You're really working hard on your boundaries and recognize that sometimes responsible parenting means saying "no" to your child's plea for a 4 a.m. curfew.
