When Pro-Life is Anti-Family
Nothing can describe many alleged "pro-life" programs better than the phrase about the road to hell being paved with good intentions. How ironic that those concerned about the lives of unborn fetuses could create programs which in fact act to destroy families, the cornerstone of civilization. Take for instance, the state of Florida's "Choose Life" license plate fund established by a group of Marion County residents who... (posted by Castillo 4 years 21 days ago.)

The Blame Game — Parenting With a Victim Mentality
Have you ever had a conversation with someone and walked away feeling like that Momma Bear inside of you is raging? This happened to me the other day after my son said that another child had his head pinned down to the ground on the playground. I went through all the "momma bear stages." First, I looked at my 6-year-old like, "Oh you poor thing," and gave him pity. I made the assumption that he had... (posted by Castillo 4 years 21 days ago.)

Chaotic Parenting = Insecure Kids?
Very few of us manage to have disciplined, orderly households where everything runs like clockwork, kids never misbehave or parents never disagree. But there are some valid reasons why at least a healthy measure of order is important. Children, especially little ones, feel most secure and safe in a secure, structured environment. Several studies have shown that too little structure and routine can cause anxiety. ... (posted by Castillo 4 years 21 days ago.)

Learning Begins At Home: Children Are the Products of Either Good or Bad Parent
The most important learning for the child comes from his family. Parents are his first teachers. The child learns about his world and how to be a good person from the very day he is born. His sense of self comes from how his parents treat him and respond to him. Child experts often advise parents to tune in to their children from an early age. Children's self-esteem is...

MIND SET: Don't feel guilty
The experience of guilt is an enormous burden. People actually feel guilty for feeling guilty. Often, those in the religious community are prone to complain about guilt. They perceive God as the cop in the sky' who is looking to apply retribution. Adults who were the products of poor parenting are more susceptible to real guilt and viewing God is a tyrannical figure. Unfortunately, people may doubt their salvation, feel... (posted by Castillo 4 years 21 days ago.)
