Parenting our children: One of the noblest and most challenging of all
life’s callings. Doing it well . . . that’s another matter. Some of the
issues many parents struggle with today include:
- Younger children:
Bedwetting; time-outs vs. spanking and other
forms of discipline; tantrums and whining; separation anxiety; daycare
and babysitter issues.
- School Age children:
Home schooling vs. Public schools;
after-school care; growth and development issues; delayed learners and
talented/gifted students.
- Adolescents:
Peer groups; identity and self-esteem issues.
- Teenagers:
Drugs, sexuality, dating, curfews, driving; college and job choices;
school violence.
- Challenging children of all ages:
Those with ADD or ADHD;
Tourettes disorder; fearful, sensitive, actively aggressive or angry
children; Oppositional-defiant personality disorder; conduct disorders;
those with eating disorders (Anorexia or Bulimia) or who struggle with
obesity; rebellious teenagers or those who self-mutilate (cutting their
arms or legs).
