  • Dealing With Your Difficult Teen
    The seemingly sudden onset of teenage behaviour is something that can come as shock and confusion to parents. The key point to know is that it is only a phase and that it will pass. Your key role as a parent is to maintain that strong, trusting and supportive relationship throughout, to enable your teen to deal with the changes in his life, and prepare himself for a happy and fulfilling adult life.
  • How To Get Your Kids To Do What You Say
    Many parents suffer the problem which they commonly describe as “he just won’t do as I say”. It is often the case that children will not adhere to our request, need to be reminded time and time again or will not learn, whatever we say or do. When this happens, more often than not, we look predominantly at our child’s behaviour – his stubbornness, laziness, or however it is manifesting. But, even though we think we have done and said all we can, it is often our own (parents’) behaviour we fail to really, objectively, look at.
  • Empowering Kids To Try Anything
    Our children are born with some amazing qualities. They believe they can do anything, and won’t give up until they do, or get what they want. Unfortunately though, through life they pick up messages to the contrary, and their once exuberant confidence may dwindle. But there are ways that parents can teach their children that will empower them to have the confidence to try new things and focus on their abilities rather than their failures.
  • How To Make Time For Your Family
    Prince Andrew was reported as saying “I believe fundamentally that the family is the most important thing in life”. And this belief probably holds true for most people, but like the diet we have every intention on going on, or the cigarettes we have every intention on giving up, we just don’t get around to it, often until it’s too late. So, given that we are so caught up in work, DIY, housework, and life, how do we make time for the family and put family first?
  • What Are You Feeding Your Child's Emotional Appetite?
    Most parents want the best for their kids, for them to do well and be happy, and many parents worry about what their child is achieving or not achieving. They tend to focus on what is lacking, their child's weaknesses, rather than concentrating on their interaction and personal relationship with their child. Children will always have their strengths and weaknesses, be particularly gifted in certain things, and confusingly clumsy and slow in others. Whatever his talents, you can help your child feel loved and therefore empowered in whatever he desires to do.
