Angie was brought up by rigid, authoritarian parents who kept her on a tight leash.

Yelling and hitting were their favorite forms of punishment. - Caretaking Parents, Entitled Kids By : Margaret Paul, Ph. D.
Demanding children – children who have entitlement issues – seem to be common these days. Like the obnoxious child, Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, who was constantly demanding that her father get her whatever she wanted (“I want an Umpa Lumpa! Get it for me NOW!”), we hear many children today uttering the fairly constant refrain, “I want ….! Give it to me! Get it for me, now!” They seem to be masters at instilling guilt in their parents through phrases such as “It’s not fair!” or “You don’t love me!” or “What about what I want?”, or by getting angry, shutting down or crying piteously. - The Challenges of Single Parenting By : Margaret Paul, Ph. D.
Having worked with parents for the last 35 years and written books on parenting and relationships, I’ve discovered that one of the greatest challenges for us as parents is to be loving role-models for our children, showing our children through our behavior how to take personal responsibility for their own feelings and needs. Our children need to learn from our role-modeling how to nurture themselves within and how to create a sense of safety in the world. - Empty Nest Syndrome By : Margaret Paul, Ph. D.
Paula’s last child had just gone off to college and Paula was struggling with a deep inner emptiness. While she knew this day was coming, she was not really prepared for the intense hollowness that welled up within. After all, she had a life of her own. Her work as an occupational therapist, which she had gone back to after all her three children were in school, was fulfilling to her. She was fortunate in having been able to schedule her time to be home when her children came home from school so she could take them to their various activities. Paula had been a loving and devoted mother and was very proud of her children. She had been looking forward to this time for herself and her husband, but now that it was here, Paula felt lost. - The Courage To Be A Loving Parent By : Margaret Paul, Ph. D.
Most of us really don’t like it when someone is angry at us. We don’t like it when people go into resistance to helping us when we need help, instead of caring about us. We don’t like it when people withdraw from us, disconnecting from us and shutting us out. We don’t like it when people make demands on us and do not respect our right or need to say no. Many of us will do almost anything to avoid the soul loneliness and pain we feel when people treat us in angry, resistant, demanding and uncaring ways. - Do You Want Your Children To Be Like You? By : Margaret Paul, Ph. D.
There is an old saying regarding children: “Do as I say, not as I do.” Whoever coined this phrase didn’t know much about children.

When you were growing up, did you ever wish that your parents were happy? Did you feel safe when they were happy and peaceful? - The Consequences Of Permissive Parenting By : Margaret Paul, Ph. D.
You are being a permissive parent when you are compliant, indulgent, or indifferent with your children.

When you are being indulgent, you are giving in to your children, even when you know it is not good for them - again to avoid their upset. When you are being indifferent, you have withdrawn from being an involved parent and from being affected or concerned by your children's behavior. - Consequences Of Authoritarian Parenting By : Margaret Paul, Ph. D.
Do you believe that it is your job as a parent to have control over your children? Do you find yourself trying to control your children in the ways your parents tried to control you, or in the ways you learned from siblings, friends or relatives? Do you hope that through yelling, threatening, shaming, blaming, judging, demanding, spanking, nagging, lecturing, explaining, arguing, and so on, you will get them to do what you want them to do? Is it working? - Parenting: Prescribing the Symptom By : Margaret Paul, Ph. D.

It is pretty usual for children to go around in footies or in socks during their first months. At that age, shoes are merely a 'decoration' item because newborns or young babies never walk so they don't need any kind of support for their body and feet. Nevertheless, the minute kids begin to walk, generally quite a few months before or after they turn one, you must know what types of shoes your kid is going to wear. You may need to buy several pairs of new shoes for toddlers and preschoolers quite regularly, so you will probably begin to ask yourself lots of questions regarding your child's shoes. - What Parents Should Know About Teens And Teasing At School By : Sintilia Miecevole

By : Chris Snow
Parents often teach their children very poor food habits. For example, during a busy morning when everyone is running late, there is little time to think about making and eating breakfast, although it is the most important meal of the day. So parents will skip the children’s breakfast and tell them to eat well at lunch when they are at school. When lunchtime arrives, the parent is still not very hungry so he or she will eat a snack bar and a diet soda and go back to work. It may be that the children have done something similar during their lunch period. - How To Raise Your Kids In A Balanced Way By : Chelsea Aubin
