Whatever you do, please don’t give up. My wife and I raised 5 children and we remember those teen years. They were trying times. We wondered if we’d ever get past that time. I’m happy to report, we not only got past it, we also learned what seemed to us at the time, to be the right way to handle many of the challenges of the teen years. When, in fact, we were actually making things worse.

Like many things we face in life, there are right ways and then there are...

Children today are different from what their parents were in their childhod. The age of innocence ends very early today compared to yesteryears. Children are very well aware of their surrounding world and of daily affairs. The rate of literacy
in first world countries is very high and increasing in the other nations. Most children receive a formal education starting with kindergarten and then school. There is a sense of early maturity in terms of intellect among kids. The internet...

I have no idea of how many of you have ever watched Chitchat three decades which performed by Zhou Libo. Although I never went to the theater to watch his performance, yet I have watched DVD version of Chitchat three decades for many times. Today’s topic is derived from one point of view in his performance.

His performance is to enable audience laugh and enjoy themselves. However, I am not judging his talent on making laughs, one of special point beyond his chitchat arise my...

Falling in love is the most beautiful feeling that one can go through because the feeling cannot be expressed in words. Every one wants to fall in love and there are several means that people follow. In the past, people used to get introduced personally and then date. In this age of technological progress this has changed indeed as our way of thinking has changed considerably. Many of us want to know the person we fall in love before committing ourselves and the internet has proved to...

The short answer is 'yes' in many but not all cases. And this means that parents with a troubled teen need to think carefully before sending their son or daughter off to a boot camp.

The first point to consider is the nature of the problem or problems being faced by your teen. There is a world of difference between a teen who has slackened off in their studies and is spending too much time watching TV and on their computer and a teen who is in trouble with the law or...

As a college student, the last thing on your mind is student auto insurance. Schoolwork, relationships and the social scene all take over, causing you to lose track of what is and isn’t important. Winning last night’s beer pong tournament? Not important. Getting a manicure to impress the cute guy in your psychology class? Definitely not important. What is important, however, is taking the time to obtain student auto insurance if you already do or plan on having a car on...

Like any other respectable superhero, Batman has had his fair share of enemies. Considering that it is almost seventy years since the creation of The Caped Crusader you can imagine that to comprise a detailed dossier of each and every foe that Batman has faced would be a mammoth task.

Instead of listing all of his adversaries to date (most of whom few of us would ever have heard of) it would probably be more interesting to mention the most dangerous and infamous.

A boot camp for troubled teens can be a lifesaver in more ways than one. There are millions of households where a teen, or teens, cause grief to their parents. The teen is unhappy and the parents are stressed. Placing the troubled teen in the appropriate boot camp can help turn the teen into a settled and healthy young person and give their parents a holiday and then almost a new life. So yes, there definitely can be benefits by placing your son or daughter in a boot camp.

It's pretty rare for a child to never be naughty. Make that extremely rare and parents who see their son or daughter misbehaving should not panic. All kids are naughty at some time or another. But if that behavior becomes really bad and starts to impact on the family, it may well be time to consider finding some help for your situation. One such form of help is a boot camp.

Now the term boot camp may conjure up all sorts of frightening images of young kids on route marches...

There are two decisions faced by the parents of a troubled teen. Should I send my kid to a boot camp? If I do send my kid to a boot camp, which boot camp will it be?

Now the first question is usually much easier than the second. If your son or daughter is in trouble, if they are losing interest in school and their grades are falling or if they are mixing with the wrong crowd and need some strong discipline in their life then yes, your child most probably needs to go to a boot...
