Nowadays, parents must be computer-savvy to find out what’s really going on in their child’s world.

What you should know before the sports season begins...

"I said NO now go to your room and leave your brother alone!"
 
It was three o'clock and I was already shouting. This was the kind of day I dreaded and there were still hours to go before a meal - which I had to prepare and serve - and that precious moment when the kids were in bed and I could breathe. How was I going to go on? I collapsed at the kitchen table, bent my head over the residual lunch dishes and began to cry.

While this type of behavior has always been in existence, we see more of it these days. Between both parents working outside the home and an influx of media messages that distort what a parent/child relationship should resemble, too many parents today are either trying to be their child’s best friend, or they’re trying to relive their own childhood through their children.
