| | Sell Your Baby's Pictures - Good Parenting Sign (!) | | 2008-06-04 07:13:00 | | The twins are not yet out and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt apparently are in the middle of an alleged $15 million bid for pictures. The final figure is slated to bypass the money they raked in for pictures of their biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel- $4.1 million for North American rights and $3.5 million for international rights. PSI Mommy makeovers also caught a whiff of baby pictures sales attempted by Joe Simpson, the father of newly declared mother-to-be Ashley Simpson. Joe is apparently gunning for a $1 million sale. From what we heard on Deceiver, it doesn’t sound very likely. Now a mommy like Jennifer Lopez can get $5 million for pictures of her twins (babies that is) but a songstress like Christina Aguilera could get only a trifling $1.5 million. But what is compelling these mommies and daddies to sell photos of their babies for such exorbitant sums?

| Smart Parenting Move – Refusing Your Teenager A Breast Augmentation | | 2008-05-27 23:00:00 | | Not all parents push their famous (and not-so-famous) kids to aspire for lofty heights in showbiz and Doris Garrison is a wonderful case in point. Doris happens to be Kelly Rowland’s mommy and also a very smart mother to boot. Kelly, an ex-Destiny Child member recalled in a recent interview with World Entertainment News Network about her mom’s prudence in responding to a teenager’s whim for cosmetic surgery. When Kelly was seventeen, like a lot of young girls she wanted to have a breast augmentation surgery. Till last year she had an A-cup, something that most glam divas don’t really stick with for long. After the breast augmentation surgery Kelly Rowland had to enlarge her breasts from an A-cup to a B-cup last year, she realized just how smart her mom was to make her wait till her body stopped developing. Teenage breast surgery is only justified when there is a corrective breast reduction surgery involved.

| | | Responsible Parenting in Modern Times | | 2008-05-15 21:47:04 | | Responsible Parenting in Modern TimesThe advent of the new millennium has brought with it a large number of technological achievements that have made people’s lives easier. Unfortunately, it has made our lives so easy that it became second nature to delegate most tedious and manual tasks to machines and equipment, which is not a bad thing except in cases where even parental responsibility falls by the wayside to make way for automation and manageability. Parenting is one of the toughest jobs. Some may not consider them professional, but definitely, the world would be a better place with responsible parenting.Nowadays parents have chosen to pursue their own interests or career improvements while leaving their children to entertain themselves with the TV, computers or various automated toys that require no adult presence. While there are exceptions, this can be a negative thing for the children as they are left to decide whether the things they see or experience are good or bad, and wi | | By: Baby First Year | | |

| Parenting Your Teenager - Peer Pressure For Teenagers During Their High-School Years | | 2008-04-12 13:57:00 | | by: Christina BottoYour teenager faces several areas of peer pressure during his or her high school years.What makes it even harder for your teenager is that most parents do not understand the depths to which these pressures go.Cigarettes and AlcoholCigarettes and alcohol more than likely will be among the first areas which your teenager will have to face peer pressure. With movies and television flashing images of underage smoking and drinking, most teenagers are shown only the more enjoyable and funny sides of these habits.High school years are very competitive, and where your teenager stands on the popular scale with the rest of his or her peers is very important. To be considered a "looser" is one of the biggest fears of today's teenager.To avoid this label they sometimes will portray an image of being tough, rebellious and uncontrolled by their parents. For today's teenagers, smoking and drinking are the easiest ways to declare their independence.DrugsA more dangerous and potentia | | By: High School Information (Silabus-RPP) | | |

They will be entering High School for the first time. This milestone brings a variety of feelings and emotions. They are beginning four of the most difficult, yet most memorable years of their life. If you think you are anxious and scared, try being your teen. Here are a few Parenting Teenager tips on how to make the best of this stressful and confusing time in your teenager’s life. Be Open and Understanding Realize that your teen is going to be stressed and irritable for the first few weeks of their freshman year. There are many things that can contribute to your teen’s moodiness or withdrawn state. They are experiencing numerous changes in their life; all at the same time. Just like when you are pushed to your max with stress, your teen may experience headaches, stomachaches, or sleepiness. They need time and space to figure it all out in their own mind.

| | Bad Parenting 3 | | 2008-04-07 23:01:51 | | Real life bad parenting is nothing to laugh about. But there’s a long stretch of normality between relaxed, laid back parenting and neglect. Children can tell the difference in most cases. Homer Simpson acts like an idiot, and he makes plenty of mistakes with his kids, but in the end, we know he loves them. More importantly, his kids know he loves them. And for our amusement, they also know he’s an idiot, but they love him anyway. Aren’t kids wonderful? I feel honored to know that my kids love their idiot mother anyway. Knife-Throwing Mother (via Arbroath) Things were a bit different in the 50s. Today, this story might include the words “bail bond” and “removed from custody”. Mommy, will you buy me a pony? Say “fire truck”. (NSFW) Most popular baby names of 2007. Aiden, Braden, and Kaden.

| | Good Parenting is... | | 2008-03-28 23:00:55 | | What is Good Parenting?Good Parenting is...I was told that a man only has three things to do in his life: write and publish literature, write music, and father a son. I have done one of the three. I was wondering, though, what would happen to the others who are completely devoid of literary and musical talents? Can they compensate the other two by fathering three sons? Just kidding. Anyway, I am no parent yet. But I know how parenting can be pretty much challenging for the rest of someone’s life.There is a saying that it is hard to parent a parent. Many teenagers and adolescents say this. And this also includes adults. I personally believe that all parents love their kids. But parenting is simply so subjective in terms of what should be right or wrong since we all deal with human behavior. I think some right and wrong methodologies of discipline are accepted based on existing community standards.The other issue in good parenting is education.

Sadie wanted to have several arguments with me regarding her loss of privileges over her grades and in school suspension. Then I had a conversation with Salinda that did not go so well. She is probably going to have to stay where she is for a few weeks longer than she thought. I talked to her Probation Officer who is not sympathetic at all about her plight. She was warned so many times and now she has to suffer the consequences of her actions. She is trying hard to manipulate the system and it isn't working for her. The conversation ended with her telling me she wasn't going to do something I suggested she should, and it is apparent that nobody has cured her rebellious streak. Not that I expected it to be cured, but she is slipping back into old habits. She is caught in a corner and she never likes that position.Then Jimmy came home defiant and crabby.

I create a hypothetical scenario, and you try to solve it: Maybe this will be a first in a series of random parenting teens brain games. Let's give this first one a try:Suppose you know that a newly hired administrator for your children's high school has a very different public appearance than a private one? What if this administrator has done nothing illegal, nothing that constitutes any grounds for removal but out of the public eye has demonstrated personality traits that are so antithetical to basic core values - values such as integrity, honesty and truthfulness? What if this administrator claims ignorance or misunderstanding when approached on the issues? What if those who have come in contact with these behaviors are relatively small in number? And here is the big what if: What if in a relatively short period of time this administrator has won the community's whole-hearted support and has been hailed as a hero?Extra supposed facts for the puzzler: | | By: Minivan Diaries | | |

| | Control Freaks Parenting Teens Anonymous (otherwise known as CFPTA) | | 2007-09-03 04:01:19 | | Hi, my name is Claudia and I'm a control freak. It's been 58 minutes since my last "control freak' episode.Parenting teens is difficult when you're a control freak because you can only control teenagers to a certain extent. Being an adoptive parent to several kids with mental health issues and a pastor's wife simultaneously can be a very difficult endeavor. It's a good thing that I've never been a person who cared much about what other people thought, because this would kill me.This morning, I'm sitting in church in the 4th row behind Dominyk who declares, too loudly for my liking, that he "hates communion." A few minutes later Salinda goes up for communion and I realize that she has taken the skirt that I almost didn't buy because I thought it was too short and cut it even shorter. The alteration job was quite ammateur and it looks terrible. And of course this is the week where we stand at the alter while communion is served so that everyone had a good 2 minutes to stare | | By: Never a Dull Moment | | |
| | Parenting as a Green Anarchist | | 2007-08-23 17:28:00 | | I consider myself to be a pirate in some contemporary sense of the word. This is the lens through which I try to view our world. I am a nice pirate, where others rape and pillage I salvage and sow; where others sack and burn I liberate and grow. I pirate software, vegetables, herbs, bulk food aisles at corporate grocery stores, garbage, books, clothes, thrift stores, free boxes. I find homes for books lost on these high seas of a culture that, for the most part, doesn't read. I steal from the rich and give to the poor whenever possible. I try to be free in the fullest sense of the word and dream always of furthering that freedom. I live with my twin three year old daughters on an old 250 acre farm outside of Shelton, Washington at the inner-most tip of Puget Sound. I try to live as a Green Rebel and a Pirate in this commodified world of disposable consumables. Does this mean I live a zero-sum harmonious existence with my local ecosystem, feeding wild animals by hand and growing or scavenging all my food while refusing to pay taxes and stockpiling an enormous underground arms cache of sustainably gathered weapons of creation? Well... not yet. So I try instead to let these simple ideas bleed into my everyday interactions with nature and with the individuals around me. I try to be anti-authoritarian with my children for the most part, but every parent raises their voice or demands some sort of obedience from their kids, because that is the world we live in, try as we might to escape it. But I have become acutely aware of what a collaborative process parenting is and, as surely as I am raising two beautiful, intelligent, gentle girls in this crazy world, they are raising and molding a new kind of parent in me. And these new kinds of people we are helping each other foster and create and assemble from old bones will be the same people faced with solving the growing problems of tomorrow and bridging our polarized communities with what common ground we have: o | | By: Pirate Papa | | |

| | Bad Parenting 2 | | 2007-07-30 06:06:31 | | Let me start this off by admitting I’m a bad parent myself. Every day I try to figure out where the line is between protecting my children and forcing them to grow up, between goofing off and setting a bad example, between spoiling them and being good to them. I’m constantly erring on one side or the other, but I only find out when it’s too late. How can you be a perfect parent? By the time you figure out how to do it, it’s already done. Somehow most kids manage to grow up anyway. The mistakes we make along the way may be good for a few laughs, if nothing else. KidStoned Peyton Manning for the United Way. (Thanks, Jan!)

| | My Anarchist Parenting Hero | | 2007-06-22 17:12:00 | | Sorry China, my review is still pending. But I frickin' love the book! So here, I'm reposting this other review just for you. Come visit us again sometime. We're still here while you're shooting to stardom. You deserve it.The Future Generation China Martens Created Her New Book the Way She Raised Her Daughter--One Day at a TimeBy Violet Glaze If you went to a punk show in Baltimore in the early '90s, you remember Clover Martens. She was the only toddler in attendance, a wispy-haired imp in Goodwill sundresses darting in and out of the crowd of slam dancers and malcontents. Her supermodel-tall mom, China, was always with her, available for a quick snuggle or suckle but otherwise letting her daughter zip around at her own whim. There was sometimes talk that China Martens didn't have a steady partner to help raise her daughter, that her anarchist principles meant she wasn't going to enroll Clover in school or immunize her. One of two things (or sometimes both) crossed the minds of the callow suburban punks who'd never seen this model of parenting before: That kid is going to have an amazing life, or Is she going to turn out all right? She turned out great. Seated next to her mom at the dining room table at a reporter's house, the now 19-year-old Nadja (nee Clover) Martens is much curvier and darker-haired than her toddler self would have indicated, but you can tell it's her in the almond-y slant of her eyes and the unselfconscious way she owns the space she occupies, in marked contrast to the cringing unease affected by some teenage girls. She says "please" and "thank you" and asks to interrupt when she's got a good idea. If she's any measure of the validity of an anti-authoritarian rearing, there ought to be Emma Goldman memorial day care centers nationwide.

While adolescence can be an emotionally intense, stormy phase for virtually all teenagers, sometimes a teen’s struggles require special intervention. Many teens struggle with issues related to mental health, family relationships, friends, school performance, substance abuse, sexuality, and other high-risk behaviors.Warning SignsStruggling teens usually show signs of distress. Common warning signs include:-Low self-esteem-School failure and truancy-Defiance towards authority (such as parents, teachers, police)-Running away from home-Choosing the “wrong” friends-Impulsive behavior (such as speeding, taking other unsafe risks)-Getting in trouble with the law-Depression-Abusing alcohol or drugs-Social isolation-Eating disorders (overeating, not eating, self-induced vomiting)-Self injury (such as cutting)There is help for these youngsters and their families through many avenues.How to Find | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | How I Feel About Parenting | | 2007-06-03 03:03:47 | | The photo in this entry is Taking A Sip. Photographed and edited by me, Lynda Walldez.
I grew up with a lot of love from my mother. She always made sure I felt loved by her no matter how bad family situations got. Although I did not notice it until recently, it has taught me a very valuable lesson about how to love your children.
I am not a mother, but I have strong opinions about parenting and a tremendous love for children. I have seen too many examples of children being neglected, ignored, abused, and used. Sometimes I feel hurt by it, other times I feel angry. It makes me want to go to the parent and knock some sense into them. Even if they are not my child, I feel quite protective of them.
Throughout my adolescence I had a fascination with little children. I could see their innocence and wonder at their ability to be so forgiving. Since then I have had a great respect for them. Within the same time frame, most of my female friends had children too early. I watched some of the.. | | By: One Day At a Time | | |
| | The Terrible Teens; The Challenge Of Parenting Teenagers | | 2007-05-30 16:55:00 | | Parents who have been through it will often remark about the difficulties and frustrations of the “terrible twos” – a time in which toddlers set about finding and asserting their own individuality and independence. It can be an enormously demanding time for parents who – up until then – had complete control over the activities of their child. Suddenly, they are thrust into a world where their word is challenged and their once complacent child has been replaced with an unpredictable person who knows their own mind and isn’t afraid to say so.But what few will tell you as you go through this frustrating time is that it’s just the beginning. That these small toddler tantrums that seem so earth-shattering at the time are merely the appetizers to a much larger feeding frenzy. Because the challenge of parenting teenagers is still to come and – little do you know – you’ll soon wish for these times of innocence and toddler tenacity.Parenting children of any age carries with | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | Parenting Your Teen On Peer Pressure | | 2007-05-29 21:36:00 | | Peer pressure is such a strong and stressful subject with teenagers in today's times. They have so much more on their plate to deal with than we did as parents in our times as teenagers. When my teenagers come home with the stories of what they have faced in their day at school I shudder and shake to think what it must have been like for them. It is so totally unfair and unjust that they should have to be subjected to that when all they should be doing is enjoying being teenagers and getting an education.We as parents need to give them a solid foundation at home and give them all the support we can and send them off with an emotional hug so when they are subjected to all this peer pressure they will have the strength to say no to the drugs, cigarettes, pre-marital sex, alcohol and any other number of pressures they are subjected to.It is definitely our responsibility to educate our teenagers about all these vices that they will run into throughout their teenage years along with the cl | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |

He has overcome so many obstacles but fortunately was diagnosed at a very young age and was immediately put on Ritalin in the 3rd grade but over a period of time outgrew it and was eventually put on Straterra which seemed to be a wonder drug for us. We really struggled, especially with me being a single parent. My son was so lost not understanding what was going on inside of him and since he has come into his teenage years he has seemingly grown out of it a great deal but it is not to say he will not struggle with it somewhat the rest of his life. So, I have decided to share some information that will hopefully help other parents who may be dealing with ADHD teenagers themselves for it is as very challenging disorder for any parent.All teenagers can suffer from extreme mood swings and defiant outburts, but with ADHD teenagers they can tend to be more extreme and parents can be left extremely drained and wondering how they will get through eac | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |

Sixteen-year-old drivers, the youngest and most inexperienced, have the most accidents of any age group.Naturally, you want to do everything you can to make your teen’s driving experience as safe as possible. Your instinct may be to protect her by getting the biggest heaviest meanest car on the road. However, research indicates a better choice might be a low profile, four-door passenger car of medium size with great reliability ratings, up-to-date safety features and good performance on crash tests. Performance. There is a saying that a middle-aged man should never buy his teen the sports car he always wanted himself. | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | An Overview On Parenting Teens | | 2007-05-22 18:40:00 | | By Mike Selvon Parenting teens is a tough aspect of parenting and represents for many parents the ultimate test. This is the time when the rubber hits the road as a parent, as all of the challenges that were merely child's play during infancy or during the toddler stage are not full blown battlegrounds. The ideologies of teenage life and parental wisdom seem destined to clash, making parenting teens a veritable nightmare for many parents.Teen parenting differs from child parenting in many ways. Child parenting tends to focus on some of the more simplistic issues in life. Teaching kids to read, while not necessarily easy, is one example of a simpler issue in raising kids.Once that child grows up into a teenager, however, his or her hormones take over and raising teens becomes a full-time job that calls back memories of earlier days of waking in the middle of the night and worrying constantly. While it is known that no parent stops worrying about his or her child, it is also known that | | By: Parenting Tricks For Teens | | |
| | NCP Parenting Growth Promoting Relationship | | 2007-05-14 02:42:00 | | DSM-IV V61.20 Parent-child relational problem Many parents are concerned about how to raise responsible children who have high self-esteem, demonstrate self-control, and display skills of cooperation and consideration of others. Most people believe that we somehow know how to “parent†instinctively. Usually, this attitude results in parenting the same way we were parented. However, it is clear that the traditional authoritarian or permissive methods of parenting create inner conflict for most parents, and praise, punishment, and rewards do not have the desired effects of positive relationships with children. Conflicts in the parent/child relationship can lead to dysfunctional/abusive relationship patterns. In addition, when children are experiencing mental health crises requiring therapeutic intervention, learning different ways of parenting becomes essential to developing positive relationships between parent and child. It is generally accepted that primary prevention activities (e.g., parenting classes, support for new parents) produce more functional families and are cost-effective for society over the long run. ETIOLOGICAL THEORIES Psychodynamics Effective parenting is a learned skill and is not a set of instinctive behaviors. Parental roles are derived from many factors (e.g., the family of origin, family myths and scripts, parental skills, knowledge and level of differentiation, socioeconomic and cultural factors, and the marital relationship). Family interactional patterns develop in a predictable pattern over time. The family rules that develop out of these patterns can be functional or dysfunctional. Functional rules are workable and constructive, promoting the needs of all family members. Dysfunctional rules are contradictory, self-defeating, and destructive.

In the same way, there is a biological plan for intelligence that is genetically encoded within the i | | By: Nursing Care Plan | | |

| | Parenting for Youth Liberation | | 2006-03-11 22:01:00 | | an interview With Cynthia PetersBy Tim AllenHow can parents behave in a non-oppressive way?There is no getting around -- nor should there be -- the fact that parents have a lot of power over children. We exercise the greatest power of all, which is deciding to bring children into the world, or, as in the case of adoption, deciding to bring children into our families. Once I bring a child into my family, I continue to exercise a lot of power over her. I decide where she will live, what her name will be, who she will live with, whether she will have siblings, which community subcultures she will experience, what language she will speak, what she will eat, how often she gets a bath, and how much she will be held.Not all of this power emanates directly from me. I am influenced by other institutions in society. My salary will help determine where I live, and therefore what community I raise my kid in, for example. How I was raised will affect how I raise my own child. My access to privilege | | By: Pirate Papa | | |
