Parenting is the most important job you will ever do.

It can also be the most difficult!

A tantruming toddler is a little ball of writhing muscle and incredible strength. It's like trying to carry a greased pig past a slop bucket.

"Moody" and "unpredictable" are adjectives parents will often use when referring to their teenagers.

"The thing that impresses me most about North America is the way parents obey their children" (King Edward VII , 1841-1910)

Children fare better when expectations on them are clear and firm.

Children mimic well. They catch what they see better than they follow what they hear.

"To be a man, a boy must see a man." (J.R. Moehringer)

If there is no relationship - nothing else matters !

The challenge of adolescence is to balance the right of the parents to feel they are in charge with the need of the adolescent to gain independence.

The more 2 parents differ in their approaches to discipline, the more likely it leads to trouble for the child.

"Unexpressed feeling never die. They are buried alive and come back later in ugly ways." (Stephen Covey)
