Children: Building Character
Teach Children Character
Building character in children is probably the most important aspect of parental life. Being the parent of a child who grows up with emotional intelligence is entirely in your power. A child whose character is developed will have a markedly increased chance for an adulthood that's happier and healthier than could be possible without life skills. Here, you'll find the motivation and encouragement you may be searching for to help you raise your child to have emotional control — character ...

Conversation Starters For Kids
Getting Kids To Talk
"Conversation Starters For Kids" is about getting your children to talk. My grandson will discuss anything with me. He loves the "what would you do if" questions. Actually, in my 54 years, I have not met a child yet that does not love this type of conversation. It stretches their minds and helps them to learn who they are and what they really believe in, and even who they want to be. The bonus is that your child develops a trust with you that enables conversations with you about anything. T...

Teaching Children about Gender
Children Learn about Gender
One of the first things children learn about themselves is that they are either a boy or a girl. They learn about social expectations regarding male and female roles and behaviour in society and they either naturally fit into these roles and behaviour expectations or they have to decide whether or not to adjust to them or be nonconforming. Either decision has its positive and negative outcomes affecting the child's mental health and social standing among their peers. Their guidance comes mai...

Amazing and Talented Children!
Amazing and Talented Children Inspire Us!
Gifted and talented children inspire us; they make us reflect on our own lives and challenge us to do more. We learn from them. We can be entertained by them. Some will make you laugh. Others will make you cry. And others will leave you awe-struck! "And a little child shall lead them." Isaiah 11:6 Indeed! Are your children talented in one particular area? How can you support and encourage them as they develop their abilities? Are you doing everything you can to support your talented child?

Can We Keep Children Safe from Abuse?
A Guide to the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse
We can help children keep safe from sexual abuse. We can lower the chances that someone will exploit our children, our grandchildren, our pupils in class, and other people's children. Children are naive and they rely on adults to help them navigate this sometimes (often) dangerous world in which we live. They need to learn how to keep themselves safe and what to do if someone got the better of them. And parents need to understand that children can heal after sexual abuse. I will give you so...

Hitting Someone Else's Children
What in the World is Going On
I can't help but ask, "What in the world is going on?" What makes people think it is acceptable for them to hit children. I am absolutely shocked at the recent news about two different people who hit someone else's children in public. Please read the two accounts below and tell me what you think?

Unborn Children
A Dad's view - Is it the mother's body or a child?
Much of the Right to Life controversy surrounds the question - doesn't a woman have the right to do what she wants with her own body? I say absolutely as long as it hurts no one else. The problem is that abortion hurts not only the woman but the very life of her child. The child God intrusted to her to protect. About 22 years ago I had no opinion on this subject. At that point my wife was carrying our first child within her body. At the 13th week of her pregnancy we went to the h...

Online Community Site for kids
With the fast growing numbers of kids joining social networking sites to play games, parents nowadays have to be extra careful to ensure their kids won't face any danger from these sites. We've heard horror stories about kids spending their parents' money to purchase virtual games credit, or kids who met with strangers through these websites. Obviously, we do not want to impose our children to these kind of danger and problems. No-one under the age of 18 should be allowed to register for a s...

Coping With Empty Nest Syndrome
Empty Nest Syndrome: Strategies for Dealing with Emotions After Your Teenagers Move Away
Coping with empty nest syndrome is a challenge for many of us when our children become adults. They grow, we nurture them, and watch them fly off. Suddenly our nests are empty, our children are gone - off to make their fortunes in the world. What ever will we do with ourselves? How will we cope? When the family home empties parents often start feeling very lonely. Their purpose for living - taking care of the children - has vanished. That's when Empty Nest Syndrome sets in. This lens focuses...

Blue's Clues - Still The Best Show For Young Children
Forbes magazine has called Blue's clues "one of the most successful, critically acclaimed, and ground-breaking preschool television series of all time".
