My husband is a video game programmer, so we play a lot of video games. But video games have often been painted in a negative light by the media as the cause for all types of childhood problems. So how can two gaming parents establish a proper video game policy for their child?Posted February 18, 2010 - 03:00 by Sierra Black
A professor at Calvin College claims kids who remember being spanked do better in school and grow up to be better-adjusted adults.Posted January 27, 2010 - 12:36 by Rhonda Franz
Regardless of the type of social activity, parents have to deal with one another’s children. And like our own, kids will sometimes misbehave. What do you do when children misbehave in your presence?Posted January 15, 2010 - 11:17 by Lain Ehmann
In the overall scheme of parenting, a forgotten lunch is no big deal. There are much bigger fish to fry: Sex, drugs, and exactly how much Runescape is "too much," to name a few. And I will have to deal with those things, but for me, today, a forgotten lunch is more than just an inconvenience. It immediately brings to mind the question of whether I'm failing as a parent.Posted January 14, 2010 - 08:11 by Margaret Garcia-Couoh
The new year has brought two child deaths to our tiny rural town -- both completely preventable.Posted January 4, 2010 - 15:05 by Lain Ehmann
We don't watch much TV around our house, so it was through a friend that I was introduced to the show, "The World's Strictest Parents." The concept is simple: Totally out-of-control teens are sent to other parts of the world to live for a week with a "new" family – one much stricter, tougher, and disciplined.Posted November 26, 2009 - 00:20 by Lela Davidson
Yelling is not the ideal form of communication. However, science now shows us that toddlers with a lower than average "fear response" may be genetically doomed to a life of crime. Could yelling help? If so, I'm available.Posted November 6, 2009 - 08:03 by Sierra Black
Not only is yelling nearly ubiquitous in American households, its also the thing moms feel most guilty over. For the most part, our generation of parents doesn't hit or spank our kids. We're there for their school events and their soccer games. We're nourishing their minds, spending quality time and somehow holding down jobs and doing the dishes. But sometimes, when the going gets rough, we yell.Posted November 4, 2009 - 10:24 by Jo-Lynne Shane
In the book, Good and Angry, Exchanging Frustration for Character in You and Your Kids, Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN, list five basic causes of anger.

A letter of thanks to my 17 year old son for being the difficult, challenging, delinquent teenager he has been. If he hadn't been so difficult, I wouldn't find parenting the rest of my children so easy! He taught me perspective, something I wish I had learned when he was much younger.Posted October 26, 2009 - 22:35 by Lela Davidson
Sometimes discipline comes with a vocabulary lesson. Yesterday we covered condoms and today I overheard my eleven-year-old son call his sister a douchebag. They both laughed. I promptly asked him if he knew what the word meant. “I don’t know,” he said. “It’s just a made up word.” Right. A made up word.Posted September 17, 2009 - 10:04 by Lain Ehmann
Serena Williams has it out with a lineswoman during the US Open. US Rep Joe Wilson shouts down President Obama. And Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs. As a parent who’s constantly trying to teach her kids to control themselves, I have to ask, What is up with people these days? Can’t they keep their big mouths shut?Posted September 12, 2009 - 08:49 by Margaret Garcia-Couoh
The playgrounds only ever have two children: the bully and the victim. Which one is your kid and how do you handle it?Posted June 21, 2009 - 18:57 by Linsey Knerl
I completely understand the benefits of having structure. While I'm inclined to throw everything to the wind, doing most tasks when I feel most productive, I agree that children benefit from having some consistency in their lives. So why is it that regular bedtimes seem more of an interruption to their natural lives than anything else?Posted June 17, 2009 - 11:56 by Sarah Peppel
There comes an age with cute antics become outright lies and a parent has to take action before consequences become worse. Discipline is never fun but it is an essential tool to keeping kids honest.Posted April 22, 2009 - 14:28 by Sarah Peppel
With Earth Day today on April 22, opportunities abound to teach your children how to appreciate and take care of the natural resources that surround us. So, what are you waiting for?Posted March 31, 2009 - 07:45 by Fred Lee
When it seems as if your toddler isn't listening to you, they might not actually be ignoring you, they just have to figure it out for themselves.Posted March 14, 2009 - 07:06 by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

I don't think my kids are the model of good behavior but enough people around me do think they are. We've been on a train trip meeting all sorts of people...perhaps they are models. And if they are, here's why...Posted January 17, 2009 - 05:21 by Fred Lee
