"The thing that impresses me most about North America is the way parents obey their children"    (King Edward VII , 1841-1910)

If there is no relationship - nothing else matters !

Hurt people hurt people.

Parenting style matters - a lot!

Children today are under enormous pressures rarely experienced by their parents or grandparents. Many of today's children are being enticed to grow up too quickly and are encountering challenges for which they are totally unprepared.

"To be a man, a boy must see a man."  (J.R. Moehringer)

When a child is disregulated - is the time parents need to be regulated.

"Parents aren't the cause of ADHD, but they are part of the solution." (Kenny Handleman, M.D.)

It is what we say and do when we're angry that creates the very model our children will follow when dealing with their own frustrations.

The quickest way to change your child’s behaviour is to first change your own.

Research on Teens

 

 

Reginald Bibby concludes from his research that I reported in my previous blog that:

1. The values deemed “most important” by adult Canadians are mirrored by a solid majority of young people.

2. Canadian teens tend to hold essentially the same views as canadian adkults about core values.

3. Teen outlook is remarkably similar to adults.

4. The idea that there is a wide generation gap between the majority of teens and their parents is a myth.
