How long will child anxiety last? When my daughter started having anxiety and then panic, I kept hoping it would last just a few weeks...then months...then a year. I am a psychologist so I knew what was happening but as a dad my expectations were all over the place like any parent. Having your expectations way off can make this journey more excruciating than it is already. .....

Furthermore, given the current economic climate, planning a child`s birthday party that is exciting and unique, albeit on a shoe string budget, can prove to be a real headache! There are however, some hints and tips and options, which can help you to cut costs, without looking like a skin flint! more »

Summer vacation is quickly coming up, and as all kids are looking forward to being out of school, sleeping in and watching television and vapid movies, moms and dads everywhere may be stressing about how to promote a healthy balance of relaxation and wise disposal of discretionary time so that the youngsters don't return to school in the Fall, saying that they did "nothing" all vacation long. Blended families have the extra stress of planning for summer visits with the "other" parent, coordinating parental schedules and making sure their brood have structure as well as fun. more »

Your child has become a teenager. You have enjoyed the first thirteen years of raising your child. You worried about them all the time. You changed too many diapers to keep count and you watched in pride as they won the fourth grade spelling bee. You helped them through the struggles in life such as scraped knees and taking their first test at school. more »

When our children share their problems with us, we need to empower them, instead of putting them down. However, sometimes we do not seem to know how to respond relevantly and appropriately when our childrens bring up their concerns to us. As a result, our children may feel discourage and soon stop sharing their hopes and fears with us. more »

Believe it or not, you and your mate are their role models, not the latest music or movie star. The rules of conduct you set and enforce, if reasonable, make your child feel loved, safe, and secure. more »

The holiday season is now just a few days away, and families and friends across America will be coming together for Thanksgiving and Christmas. These seasonal gatherings are often centered around a large communal meal headlined by a turkey. Other meats such as pork are occasionally served as a side dish, and traditional fruit such as cranberries often feature heavily. This is a recipe that makes use of all three of these foods, and should make anyone who cooks it for their family feast very popular: more »

What has this world come to when a child that defends himself against a bully ends up with the same punishment? Or a child who breaks-up a school fight ends up with suspension for physically pulling two kids apart and not running for a teacher? Children today have much to fear when they can’t even defend themselves from assault, fear punishment for doing the right thing, or worse—get beaten as innocent bystanders do nothing at all. more »

It’s the mentally tough who realize that every individual is the master of his or her own mind, not the other way around. The mentally weak are thrown around by every whim of their mind. Just because a thought arises, they assume it must be valid and worthy of dwelling on or obsessing over. This regurgitation of the same counter-productive thoughts causes needless pain, anxiety and depression. The mentally tough do not allow their own thoughts to be the cause of harm to themselves and others. more »

Women still do 63 percent of the household work, according to data released late last month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While women dedicate an average of almost 16 hours per week to household tasks such as cleaning and preparing food, men’s contributions add up to less than ten hours weekly. The data comes from a survey of 13,000 American men and women over the age of 15, who quantified time spent on various activities over an average day – the 24 hours preceding the interview. more »

Throw the first stone he who hasn't made a mistake. It is a prerogative of life to teach us through our mistakes, a fact that is really unfortunate, as we would be much better off if we learnt from the mistakes of others. Here are some conjectures.
Wouldn't it be great if we could just not repeat the very same mistakes that most of our elders have made and hence, grow up much more rapidly and then make brand new mistakes so others would learn from us and grow up even more rapidly? How advanced we would be! more »

Michelangelo once said that within every block of marble there is a great sculpture waiting to come out. I say the same about our children. When we receive them in the world, we don’t know what kind of beings they are and what their potential will be.
Nevertheless, we act as Michelangelo, for, inside every parent, there is a sculptor of children. We know there is a great sculpture coming out; we only need to shape our marble block. We do this by teaching our children what we believe is right, by passing onto them our values, by feeding them the foods we think are the best, by providing them with the best possible education, by showing them our religious/spiritual beliefs, by directing them to the best friendships, by encouraging them to pursue hobbies and activities we deem important, and so on. more »

Let's be honest! When it comes to parenting, men expect their wives or partners to do the lion's share.
There are signs that we're moving toward a more enlightened age in which ALL parents play their part.
But in the meantime, let's concentrate on some help for tired moms.
Apparently the number one question mothers ask their doctors is, "How can I get more energy?"
Fatigue is a serious problem when it robs us of our happiness, our sense of balance, and even our effective parenting skills.
So what's the answer?

When parents say, “It’s bedtime, kids!” discipline frequently follows.
If any (or all!) of the following sound familiar, know you’re not alone:
* “One more story...pleassssse!”
* “I need another glass of water.”
* “Can I stay up just 15 more minutes?”
Bedtime delays are an epidemic problem that plagues most households. If it’s not one more story, it’s “ten more minutes” of their favorite show or dawdling in the bathroom. We’ve all been there. more »
