Tweens are at the tender time in their lives when they begin to pull away from their parents in an effort to test the waters on their own. Going it all alone can be too scary, tweens tend to turn to their friends to be find some direction. The difficulty is that their friends are also trying to find their own way.

Teen Pregnancy is something that is avoidable. Communication as a parent to your teen is important to prevent such things. When parents don't talk, Teens tend to turn to their friends which end up being a bad influence. They need to realize why they should be safe and what are the effects in the long run. Teens have to end up being alone most of the time and don't know what they are risking.

That is so true, no matter how busy we are with our professional life, we should always remember we are parents first. And we need to talk to our children. A lot of things can be avoided when our children understand what these are and how each can affect them and their future. Let's all take a little time to devote it to them just to talk...and we should start early so that when they reach the awkward teenage years, it will still be easy for them to talk to us.

Everyday we see articles and reports about children being bullied at school. And as parents, I think we all believe that friendships are the perfect antidote to bullying. If our kids have friends, then whether or not there are some mean kids picking on them is immaterial. So our quest is to guarantee that our children have friends. There is a problem with that logic. And therefore, I have created this short list of secrets about what do in regard to your child and his/her friends. I am quite knowledgeable on this topic, as I have raised four well adjusted and happy young adults. Delete the scoop?

Along with keeping children fit, Mr. Hoelterhoff said research shows time outside in nature improves a child’s ability to focus and concentrate, key skills for learning, and also reduces depression. “We know that when kids are outside they learn better,” said Mr. Hoelterhoff.
