2) Prevent Your Teenager From Becoming A Statistic
Parents please don't be naive in thinking that your teenager is not having sex, the majority of teenagers are. We have to better educate our children on the risks of unprotected sex. This task may sound embarrassing for both you and your teenager but it must be done. Schools only scrape the surface when discussing unprotected sex, stating that they can catch STD's and fall pregnant; where they fail is by not shocking our teenagers with the realities of these subjects.

3) Solving Baby Slep Problems - The Ferber Method
Nothing can prepare new parents for the mind numbing weariness that comes with lack of sleep. A new baby may be tiny but the havoc they wreak to your sleep is huge. It can take work to establish good sleeping habits. One of the hardest things for your baby is to learn to fall asleep on his own. I firmly believe that parents need to reclaim their evenings.

4) Child Discipline: What Really Works?
One thing I hate to do is discipline my son. He is such a good boy most of the time, but when he gets angry he is awful! Disciplining your child is one of the hardest things to do as a parent. It is important that they understand that you are in charge, not them. I remember getting spankings until I was around 6 or 7 years old. I did everything I could to avoid making my mother and father angry.

5) Stammering Toddler
Some parents have the shock of hearing their young child start stammering as a toddler. I am somebody who runs a speech centre in Birmingham, England, I now help people to achieve fluency. I met a lady who was thirty and her little boy aged four had been stammering for quite a while. She had taken him to speech therapy and was extremely anxious as to why he was stammering.

6) Why first borns fuss, seconds are resilient and youngests like to laugh
How can two or three children in the same family be so different? They are brought up in the same broad social environment, under a similar set of rules and an identical family value system. They also come from the same genetic pool yet they can be so different in personality, interests and achievement. While they may be born into the same family they are not born into the same position.

7) Teaching a Child Responsible Behavior Begins at Home
Parents are teachers, too. When it comes to child rearing, one of the most important lessons a parent can teach their youngster is responsible behavior. This means helping the child learn how to interact with others in a way that displays self-respect, as well as respect toward others. No child comes into this world pre-programmed with good manners and virtuous attributes such as a willingness to share, consideration for the feelings of others, respect for others possessions, respect for authority figures, and a selfless attitude.

8) Is My Teen Lying?
All teens lie, right? Teen lying is something that is done harmlessly and viciously. Teens lie for many reasons; most of them have to do with their ability to do it. Pulling a fast one over on mom and dad is something you probably tried too. But, in today's world, lying teens can get into a whole lot more trouble than you could. That is what makes it so important to know if your teen is lying to you and then to handle it.

9) Partnership Between Parents and Kindergarten Teachers
Pre-school is an educative learning partner of the family. Some reasons that kindergarten is an extremely important educative factor are: - Kindergarten creates an environment for children and it helps them develop their social skills - Kindergarten prepares children for primary school - is a protective environment and passes the time with children.

10) Children With Social Phobia
Social phobia has a tendency to begin during adolescence, but can develop much earlier. The onset of social phobia during one’s formative years can have a devastating effect on their social development. If left unchecked it can lead to serious psychological problems in later life, maladjustment, agoraphobia, depression and even suicide. The symptoms of excessive shyness and acute self-consciousness are relatively easy to spot.

12) Babies not only bring joy but also lots of worries
Are you expecting a baby in the near future or have just had one? If so you already know that you can expect a lot of worries and concern,especially if this is your first one. There is so much uncertainty and things that you do not know. Right?

13) Kids Internet Safety and MySpace - Be Careful!
Kids Internet Safety - Be Careful! The Internet and Computers are becoming a necessity in our homes. Nearly everything we do be it registering a new appliance, paying bills, finding a movie, restaurant or an amusement park for location and hours, is easy online. Why "let your fingers do the walking" in the yellow pages as the phone book companies used to say, when you can find it with a few keystrokes and click of the mouse online? Becoming computer literate is a must say California education standards.

14) Diet Sodas - How They Can Affect Kids
Many of us have grown up drinking caffeinated diet sodas as an alternative to sugary regular sodas. We figure this is a better choice rather than loading our and our children's bodies with large quantities of sugar. Whilst diet sodas do help us avoid a sugar overload (which can lead to weight gain) we should also be aware of the effects of caffeine contained in many cola flavored diet sodas.

16) Say NO to Ritalin! The Indigo/ADD/ADHD Child’s Diet
It’s the dreaded Child Split Personality Syndrome – you’ve witnessed it but are you aware that you could possibly be the culprit of it all?! Unknowingly of course. Let me set the scene. Breakfast which consisted of bagels, with butter and jam, a bowl of sugary filled cereal and a glass of artificial fruit punch to wash it down, was finished only moments before.

But, how do you know when your baby’s symptoms have are just crying and when he has colic? And, just what is colic, anyway? No one knows exactly what causes colic, though many old wives tales abound. Lots of older women will tell you.

18) Parenting the Attachment Challenged Child
There is much literature on how to parent challenging children these days. Unfortunately much of that literature does not typically address the child with special parenting needs and a special parenting understanding. A child that has been diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder, oppositional defiant disorder,or even depression, requires an understanding not of the behavior itself,but rather of the underlying dynamics driving the behavior.

I know, your life already has changed dramatically, but you’re about to enter a whole new level of, well, frustration and despair. Luckily, the difficulties only last for about two years………..sigh.

20) Music And Your Child’s Development
As the mother of a two year old, I am always looking for activities that encourage learning and development. I find that most of the activities we do together that result in learning are purely by coincidence and luck – not by any skill or training I have. As of late, my son has shown a real passion for music. He has even begun to differentiate between styles of music he likes and dislikes – his preferences are Contemporary Christian and Country, of course those both fall behind any song done by The Wiggles.

21) 10 Commandments of Parenting
Michael Grose’s 10 Commandments for Parenting Here are the wisest commandments ever commended to parents: 1.Thou shalt be consistent. Do as you say you will. Children know where they stand when you are consistent, follow through and mean what you say. 2.Thou shalt expect children to contribute (without being paid). Expect children to help at home but don’t expect them to do so graciously all the time.

22) Youth Heroes – A Double Standard
As a boy I danced and shook to the music of Elvis Presley along with the rest of the kids in my generation. I was shocked to hear how he died from the usage of drugs but even when I heard of his death I still was unable to gather the significance of it. I’ve had decades to ponder the significance of it and I am sure it doesn’t fall under the heading of good experiences from my childhood.

23) Conflict Resolution for Pre-Schoolers
When I began teaching straight out of college, I had much experience with children, but my degree was in political science. People used to ask me how my BA was useful in teaching nursery school, to which I often replied, “I do a lot of conflict resolution.” Since then I’ve received my Masters degree in Education, and my Political Science degree has been relegated to education for education’s sake, but conflict resolution remains a huge chunk of my professional life.

24) Advantages Of Getting Tutors
Tutors are basically teachers who help students or learners to obtain more information and skills on specific subjects. Tutors are professionals who are considered knowledgeable or experts in their specific fields like typing, math, English or other subjects. Generally, students who require one-on-one training on a particular subject require coaching outside school hours.

25) Indigo/Crystal Phenomena: ADD/ADHD Children
Who are these Indigo and Crystal Children? Am I one? How can I help my own child who seems to be one? There are many things that we can do to help these new breed of children, but the most important thing to know is that the Indigo/Crystal phenomenon is the next big step in our human evolution. We all are, in some way or another, becoming more like the Indigo and Crystal people.
