			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full" src="http://www.daddydream.com/wp-content/uploads/21311882911_dating.jpg" alt="21311882911_dating.jpg" />I&#8217;ve had so many people admire my relationship with my son Orion and wish they shared the honesty, closeness, and trust with their own child or parents. Others praise the close relationship I have with my daughter-in-law Nichola. They wish they could be so lucky and fortunate. Grandparents long for the time and quality relationship Doug and I share with our grandson Sebastian.<br />
Parents who come to me for coaching feel uncertain or powerless when it comes to creating a joyous relationship with their child. Mothers come to me feeling overwhelmed with what feels like an impossible situation with their child.<br />
Instead of trust and closeness, families often experience deep resentment and hard feelings between parents and their children, especially as their child matures into adolescence and adulthood and they become more aware of their true feelings toward their parents and the way they were raised as children.<br />
The relationships with in-laws, especially mothers-in-law, are notorious for their difficulty.<br />
                Related Coverage<br />
                 Good Parenting Comes With Informed Choices</p>
<p>                    Parenting can be a very rewarding experience, but with it comes great responsibility. Parents choose to make good decisions and, by choice, become good parents. Being a good parent involves making choices consistently all along the way. Great Parenting For Successful Child Actors</p>
<p>                    While talent, ambition, and luck are all very important for child actors, it is almost universally agreed that the single biggest key to success for a child actor is good parenting. Believe it or not, the stressful life that comes with being a famous child has actually been shown to be balanced by parents who are involved in the child&#8217;s life, care about what sorts of environments the child is in, and take an active role in the child&#8217;s career. Parenting &#8211; Eliminating the Stress</p>
<p>                    Tips to Eliminate Parenting Stress. It seems that we do not have enough time in our lives doesn&#8217;t it? Between family, work, social commitments and other demands on our time it can be extremely difficult to get everything done in a 24hr day. Nobody knows that better that a busy parent! How is Good Parenting Achieved?</p>
<p>                    Parenting is indeed a very noble task. Each of us can be a parent; but not all of us can be good parents. There is no designed educational course to teach us how to be a good parent; instead it can be learned through experiences in life, honed through natural affection.In fact, relationships with mothers-in-law often separate children from their own parents.<br />
It can look like luck and good fortune when you don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s gone into making a joyous family happen. Over the last 33 years, I&#8217;ve focused on essential guidelines to create the relationship I now share with Orion and his family.<br />
I promise you. What we have did not occur by chance. It has taken conscious communication and a deep willingness and desire on everyone&#8217;s part to share the trust, honesty, love and joy we now have as a family.<br />
You can do something beginning today. These close, delightful relationships begin with the emotional foundation you create when your child is born (I would even say before your child is born) and continue throughout your lifetime.<br />
Here are four quick tips to empower you to share the joy and love you most desire with your child. These tips will help keep you from wasting precious time as the years go speeding by.<br />
If you want to begin to take action now to create a joyous relationship with your child that will last a lifetime, here are some things I&#8217;ve done to create what I share with our kids.<br />
1. Make your emotional connection with your child one of your highest priorities. Nothing has a greater, more positive impact in your relationship and in your child&#8217;s success and joy in life.<br />
When you share a positive emotional connection, you have a tremendous positive impact in your child&#8217;s life. He wants to be with you, even when he is a teen and into adulthood. He trusts you and looks to you for guidance in times of uncertainty and hardship. You all pull together and work together as an honest, deeply trusting family.<br />
2. Understand what&#8217;s happening with your child emotionally. Without this, you can mistakenly believe you&#8217;re on track and miss your child entirely. Too often parents believe everything is okay, only to painfully discover in adolescence and adulthood, the lack of true understanding they had with their child.<br />
This is one of the biggest challenges for parents. As a culture, we don&#8217;t know a lot about our emotions and how to create authentic, trusting relationships with our children or our spouse. With this information, you have a deeply positive effect on your child and life she creates for herself.<br />
3. Admire your child for the unique and amazing person she is. Admiration and appreciation help her to flourish and to feel loved. She sees her beauty mirrored back to her in your eyes.<br />
4. Honesty is always the best policy. Without this, your child knows on a deep level that he cannot trust you. Mutual trust and respect is the firmest foundation you can create with your child.<br />
You Are in the Driver&#8217;s Seat Whether You Know It or Not<br />
I&#8217;ve created a powerful, trusting loving relationship with my now 33-year-old son Orion, daughter-in-law Nichola and grandson Sebastian using these and other essential principles. There is nothing more important to me than my relationship with them. They bless Doug&#8217;s and my life daily. Such a delightful joy to cherish what we have all created together!<br />
You can have this with your child also. The choice is yours. Life will always bring changes filled with new opportunities and challenges. The only way to get through these with a renewed and stronger connection with your child of any age is to create a relationship of honest, open trust, love, and regard for one another. One that nurtures your child&#8217;s and your own Emotional Wholeness.<br />
If you want more harmony with your child both now and in the future, develop a joyous emotional foundation with your child starting today. It is never too late to begin, no matter how old your child. Your heart will be profoundly touched by the closeness you create.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full" src="http://www.daddydream.com/wp-content/uploads/01310682941_family-traditions.jpg" alt="01310682941_family-traditions.jpg" />There isn&#8217;t a better way to spend quality time with your friends and family than by playing board games with them. It&#8217;s said that games often bring out the best in us, as we forget our everyday self and our true selves come out in the spirit of play. So, if you want to know more about your child&#8217;s personality, rather than sitting down with them and asking probing questions, get out a board game, and watch as they reveal all. Board games are much more useful than video games, and watching movies do not offer the mental stimulation that board games offer. With board games, there&#8217;s an instant friendship that&#8217;s formed between the players and they are great icebreakers at any family get-together.</p>
<p>But rather than playing boring games that have no spice, why not choose a fun and musical way to play games? Spontuneous, a family board game that&#8217;s based around lyrics and song, is a fun way to enjoy your evenings together. The game begins by players listing out &#8220;trigger words&#8221; or words that they&#8217;d like other players to sing. Players are expected to sing a line from a song with at least five words, one of which must be the trigger. The first one to use five words from their list gets to roll the dice and proceed to the Spontuneous challenge. The first player to complete the Spontuneous challenge is the winner of the game. Once sung, a song cannot be used again for the game. Thus, everyone in the family is racking their brains thinking of lyrics. If the other players cannot come up with a song, the player who initiated the trigger words gets to sing the song and roll the dice. Songs from every genre and generation are allowed.</p>
<p>This is the perfect game for Christmas time, when everyone in the family is already gathered together singing songs. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great to weave a lyric game around these together-times and enjoy the fun as people scramble to come up with obscure songs and unique lyrics? This family game offers opportunity for young and old alike to participate in the fun. The holidays offer a chance to add an extra twist; for example, one might only allow the use of Christmas songs. Music is indeed the medicine for the winter blues. These games are a fun way to bring the whole family together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full" src="http://www.daddydream.com/wp-content/uploads/21310567979_games.jpg" alt="21310567979_games.jpg" />This past Christmas, my family spent a lot of time playing games together. We typically played a crossword-spelling type game, but other games such as the good old standbys that I played as a kid also came out of the closet. My wife and I have 5 children and after spending a great deal on video games this Christmas, and then sitting in my living room watching my children play video games, we quickly became disgruntled with the whole situation.<br />
It was at that time, that we decided to break out the board games so that our children have other forms of entertainment. After all, it isn&#8217;t the kids&#8217; fault that they have a 5 second attention span. They need to keep moving and they need to learn how to entertain themselves. I just don&#8217;t think that it is Nintendo&#8217;s obligation to keep my children entertained.<br />
As a Math teacher at the local high school, I often discuss with my colleagues about problem solving skills.<br />
                Related Coverage<br />
                 Importance of Finding Your Family Roots</p>
<p>                    Finding your family roots is very important for many individuals. Most people will find out a great deal about themselves by researching and unearthing information about their ancestors. By doing genealogy to try and connect to previous generations who will give you a connection to the past and the present situation. Amazing Graces &#8211; Why Family Rituals Are Important</p>
<p>                    &#8220;Bless our hearts to hear in the breaking of bread the song of the universe. Prayers across cultures&#8221; -Father John Giuliani. The concept of grace is different for different people. For some the idea of beauty is what comes first to mind, while for others the image of movement is what they begin to imagine. The Importance of Eating With You Family</p>
<p>                    It can be difficult to get your family together for a home cooked meal. Everyone is always rushing around and dinner comes in the form of to go bags from Apple bees or burrito sacks. Your kids may not seem to mind this, but it is important to get your family around a table when you can. Kids benefit from eating as a family more than you may think. Importance of Exercise For Pets</p>
<p>                    With the national spotlight shining on the increasing rates of overweight people and obesity, many people are working to maintain a healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise. However, we may forget about the health and exercise needs of our pets in the process. Despite what you may think, pets can gain too much weight and become obese as well. This is why exercising your furry friends is just as important as exercising yourself.Kids seem to lack basic logic and problem solving skills. I think board games can be an excellent way to help our kids learn that logic. Think about the mathematical skills that kids have to understand to play board games.<br />
Of course there is the probability logic of rolling dice. If you roll dice enough, you naturally think about your odds of rolling two sixes or two fives. It is a natural progression when you play any dice rolling game. Just like when you play card games, at some point you stop think about how to follow the rules, and you begin to think about what the probability that your opponent has a specific card in their hand. That is the corner that must be turned to begin winning. Dice rolling, follows the same logic.<br />
At an earlier age, dice rolling reinforces counting principles.<br />
 Counting the spots on the dice and then counting the number of spaces to move is an excellent way to get your kid a head start on kindergarten. As the child plays a the game more, they start thinking about what they would need to get to a certain space. This then become addition and subtraction. At some point they start thinking about how many dice rolls it would take to get to a certain point. This skill is division. These are all very important developmental problems tat a child can learn from playing a board game.<br />
The other issue that board games can help with is the social process of winning and losing. Many kids in our high school do not have the social skills needed to play sports or to succeed in the cut-throat social environment of the high school hallways. Games again can help with this social process. I can tell you from experience that a 6 or 7 year that loses at game must learn to eventually lose gracefully or he won&#8217;t find other people to play that game with them. The same can be said about winning. If you don&#8217;t win gracefully, pretty soon people will not want to play games with you. How important is that skill.<br />
Parents, guardians, uncles, and aunts, break out those old board games and help the children in your lives learn some valuable life skills. I think you will be surprised how much they can benefit from them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full" src="http://www.daddydream.com/wp-content/uploads/01311105883_p1010192.jpg" alt="f_01310568337_imag0134.jpg" />Children are more sedentary than ever, watching television and playing video games instead of biking to the playground or playing kickball in the backyard with their pals is a major cause. And even schools have stopped emphasizing fitness, in some school districts, physical education has vanished completely because of under-funding.</p>
<p>Kids need regular exercise to build strong bones and muscles. Exercise also helps children sleep well at night and stay alert during the day. Such habits established in childhood help adolescents maintain healthy weight despite the hormonal changes, rapid growth and social influences that often lead to overeating. And active children are more likely to become fit adults.</p>
<p>As childhood has become more sedentary, children have put on weight &#8212; lots of it. In the past 30 years, the rate of childhood obesity has more than tripled, leading to a dramatic increase in the number of children with type 2 diabetes, a disease once limited to sedentary, overweight adults.</p>
<p>You do have the power to give your children a lifelong appreciation for activities that strengthen their bodies.  </p>
<p>Follow these tips to keep your kid active:</p>
<p>#1 Set a good example</p>
<p>If you want an active child, be active yourself. Take the stairs instead of the elevator and park the car farther away from stores. Never make exercise seem like a punishment or a chore.  Find fun activities that the whole family can do together, such as:</p>
<p>&#61623; Swimming<br />
&#61623; Nature hikes<br />
&#61623; Bike riding<br />
&#61623; Canoeing<br />
&#61623; Walks with the family dog<br />
&#61623; Playing Tag<br />
&#61623; Dancing<br />
&#61623; Hopscotch<br />
&#61623; Jump-rope<br />
&#61623; Hide &amp; Seek</p>
<p>If mom and dad exercise, it&#8217;s a very powerful message for a child to exercise.  In addition to getting active, exercising together gives you good family time. The goal is to get kids moving, whatever the activity.</p>
<p>#2  Limit &#8216;Screen Time&#8217;</p>
<p>There are a lot of reasons why children are less active today, but the biggest culprit is the television set, followed closely by video games and computers, these activities encourage a sedentary lifestyle by limiting movement for long periods of time.</p>
<p>Watching television is directly related to childhood obesity. Children who watch more than five hours of television a day are eight times more likely to be obese than are children who watch less than two hours of television a day.</p>
<p>A surefire way to increase your children&#8217;s activity levels is to limit the number of hours they&#8217;re allowed &#8216;screen time&#8217; each day.  When children are bored they find things to do.</p>
<p>#3 Promote Activity, not Exercise</p>
<p>Of course sports and other organized activities are a great way to keep your kid moving however, kids don&#8217;t have to be in sports or take dance classes to be active. Every kid is wired differently. We all have certain strengths and characteristics that permit us to do certain things better than others.  Many noncompetitive activities are available for a child who isn&#8217;t interested in organized athletics. </p>
<p>The key is to find things that your child likes to do. For instance, if your child is artistically inclined, go on a nature hike to collect leaves and rocks that your child can use to make a collage. If your child likes to climb, head for the nearest neighborhood jungle gym or climbing wall. If your child likes to read, then walk or bike to the neighborhood library for a book.</p>
<p>#4  Start Young</p>
<p>Remember your energetic toddler? Direct that energy into a lifelong love of physical activity. By incorporating physical activity into our children&#8217;s lives at an early age, you are setting the foundation for good fitness habits in the years to come.  For instance, have your child show you how bunnies hop, eagles fly or dogs wag their tails.</p>
<p>Some other suggestions for keeping kids interested:</p>
<p>&#61623; Play games your elementary school child loves, like tag, cops and robbers, Simon says and red light, green light. If you don&#8217;t remember the rules for these games, make up your own or walk to your local library and check out a book on games.</p>
<p>&#61623; Let your toddlers and preschoolers see how much fun you can have while being active. Don&#8217;t just run with them. Run like a gorilla. Walk like a spider. Hop like a bunny. Stretch like a cat.</p>
<p>&#61623; Plan your family vacations around physical activities &#8212; hiking, biking, skiing, snorkeling, swimming or camping. Take along a ball or Frisbee disc to sneak in some activity at rest stops. </p>
<p>&#61623; Make chores a family affair. Who can pull the most weeds out of the vegetable garden? Who can collect the most litter in the neighborhood? Have your kids help shovel the snow off the driveway and use that excess snow to build a huge snow fort. </p>
<p>&#61623; Vary the activities. Let each child take a turn choosing the activity of the day or week. Batting cages, bowling and restaurant play areas all count. What counts is that you&#8217;re doing something active as a family.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full" src="http://www.daddydream.com/wp-content/uploads/11311882386_happy-people-multicultural-5.jpg" alt="11311882386_happy-people-multicultural-5.jpg" />Parenting is indeed a very noble task. Each of us can be a parent; but not all of us can be good parents. There is no designed educational course to teach us how to be a good parent; instead it can be learned through experiences in life, honed through natural affection.<br />
From the time, a mother gave birth to her child until the time that this child has been married and has his/ her own life, parents never stopped being there for their children to give them guidance and all kinds of support. This is how dignified, parenting is.<br />
I have been blessed to have wonderful parents who are always there for me through thick and thin. They are two people who never fail to understand and love me whether I have done the right or wrong thing. They always guide me to be if not the best daughter they can have; but more importantly, the kind of daughter they can find in me.<br />
My parents never forced or pressured me to be the best woman in my generation; they keep on having faith in whatever endeavors I choose to pursue.<br />
I want to share my experience, being a daughter to my parents who are a family of teachers. </p>

<p>        Parents unite! Complex as it is, it is possible to rear children into responsible, happy and well-adjusted adults. From our end as parents, it will take patience and commitment. However, it will also take wisdom and experience. This is where our support system and access to those who know will play a big Advising a Single Parent With a Troubled Teen</p>
<p>        If you work with troubled teens, chances are likely that a few of them come from a single-parent family. This makes the teenager&#8217;s problem all the more acute because it is always difficult to be without one parent, and it is even more difficult to build good relationships with the parent who is at home because that parent is likely to have to work a lot to make ends meet. Do Parents Matter</p>
<p>        What determines a child&#8217;s behavior? Nature or Nurture? Both nurture and nature are influential, though the degree of influence continues to be a controversy. How to Survive the Major Hurdles of Single Parenting Today</p>
<p>        Of all the jobs in the world, nothing is more challenging, or rewarding, than raising a child. Even when an individual has to take on the task alone, single parenting today can provide intense joy and happiness. It can also be the source of frustration, depression and uncertainty. Add to that the fact that people expect imperfect beings to suddenly be able to navigate the extremely complex world of parenting flawlessly and it can come with extreme pressure, especially for singles.I have always wanted to be a writer since I was a kid; this led me to do a lot of writing stints even in my college years where I was taking up Child Education. My time then was divided into freelance writing jobs and college course education. But I am pretty guilty that I spent much time doing freelance writing jobs; and my parents allow me to do this, because they completely know that this is where I get my fulfillment.<br />
Fortunately, I have completed my college education with flying colors because of the appropriate guidance of my parents; as always, they never failed to provide me with the needed trust and understanding.<br />
Not all people get the chance to have good parents in their lives. That is why I am just too thankful to have brilliant parents who, for me, possess all the qualities of being a wonderful parent.<br />
Based from my experience as a daughter, I can say that good parenting is achieved when they are:<br />
 Sensitive to the needs of their children; and understand how their children feel toward every matter.<br />
 Trustful of their children; but do not tolerate any wrong deeds.<br />
 Finally, good parenting is giving unconditional love; no other people can give.</p>
