The recent cover of Time Magazine as well as the not-too-distant upheaval brought to us by the Tiger Mother epitomize both ends of our present pendulum swing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If indeed mothering is the hardest job, why do we not feel the need to give parents every opportunity to do the job well? Every mother out there, whether satisfied or dissatisfied with her parenting will tell you how important it is to know what to do and how to do it. I will argue that every abhorrent and dysfunctional behavior that costs our society megabucks as well as lives can be traced back to dysfunctional family relationships – to parenting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Watching the toys pouring in for my grandson has made me think about our grossly material world and how important it seems to parents that their children have everything the culture provides. Coinciding with this—granted I have not done a study on the connection—seems to be an epidemic of bored kids who want nothing more than to be interfacing with a screen of some kind. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Consistency is a troubling word for parents. Do I have to be the same all the time? What happens when I lose it? Does it mean I have to discipline the same way for each infraction? Consistency in discipline means responding in ways your child can expect. Every child knows his parent is going to lose it from time to time. Consistency means how that loss of judgment is repaired.]]></description>

When we prevent them from experiencing sadness, disappointment and anger, we diminish their resilience, their ability to cope with life’s inevitable frustrations and situations beyond their control.]]></description>
