Parenting InformationHow Is Peaceful Parenting� Different?Peaceful Parenting� ideas are very different from other kinds of parenting practices that you have learned or read about. Certainly it is harder to practice Peaceful Parenting� than to simply threaten or bribe your child into following your directions or making what you consider to be the ?right? choices. But what is the heart of the difference between Peaceful Parenting� and other programs? Create Your Dream FamilyThere has been much attention in the media of late on the transformation of families, Dr Phil?s Phenomenal Family Series and Super Nanny to name a few. I recently had the pleasure of being featured on a radio program, Coaching Corners in New York in which I spoke about creating your dream family by becoming the parent you want to be. Many parents have this hope but do not know where to begin and how to get there. Others know what to do but get side tracked; finding their present state of their family is far from what they want it to be. I hope this article will help those who are new parents create your dream family and those seeking to transform your family. I want to make parenting easier, more meaningful and encourage parents in their efforts withthe following four principles. Mom, Dad and the Big BrotherSoftware for parental control is a useful tool, if applied right. Millions of parents in the USA alone do check their kids' online behavior.

Violence in MediaIn the news, we hear and see an increasing number of reports about violence among children. This goes from rude fights on the playground to armed incidents in schools that result in injuries or even casualties. Building Self ConfidenceSeveral similar terms describe the central attribute of a character that decides on the strength of personality and the degree of inner freedom: Going Out to a Restaurant with KidsDining in a restaurant with kids can be very enervating and embarrasing. Not only that you have to desperately try and keep your wiggling toddler seated and silent, you also have to manage the disapproving looks from other (non-parent) guests. Road Trip with KidsBoredom, limited space and overflowing energy are a source of nuisance for a child when in a restaurant - how much more in the narrow cage of a car on a hour-long ride. You have barely left your home when the notorious "Are-we-there-already" starts, sometimes replaced by the equally infamous "How-long-is-it-still-going-to-take" and "I-have-to-pee" (the latter preferrably on highways with no possibility to stop). Plane Trip with KidsThough you can cover even very long distances by car if you have the guts to, as soon as it comes to crossing water, you'll have to stick to a plane. The equation is the same as usual: limited space + long time of inactivity = whiny, annoying children.

Your child is happy ? proud even?to have you be a part of his classroom activities. But then comes middle school. It?s a new world. Mommie Moments ? Taking Time For YourselfBeing a parent is a role that requires a large majority of our attention and time. Whether you have one child or fourteen children, you are more than likely aware that personal time is at a minimal. As a mother your attention is always on demand. There are meals to be made, clothes to be washed, and rooms to be cleaned. Not to mention other responsibilities like entertaining hungry little minds. Raise Awesome Kids!

Many studies have been done that show a link between fetal stimulation and intelligence as well as increased development of motor skills, language and social skills.
