"Unexpressed feeling never die. They are buried alive and come back later in ugly ways." (Stephen Covey)

If it  was going to be easy to raise kids, it never would have started with something called "labour".

"Moody" and "unpredictable" are adjectives parents will often use when referring to their teenagers.

Parent /Child Relationships


A good foundation for a smoothly functioning household is warm parent-child relationships. Enjoying fun times together with your child is good for its own sake, of course, but it also helps to keep everyone on the same side, wanting what’s best for each other. The easiest children to discipline are the ones who want to please their parents. If you spend much of your time with your child nagging and correcting, it’s worth giving some thought to how you can both get more enjoyment out of the relationship.
