The Soft & Hard Sides of Discipline A Brief Look at Empathic Parenting
Have you ever had difficulty determining when “enough is enough” with your child? Or questioned when you should draw the line rather than be flexible and give in to his requests? Have you ever experienced the pain and confusion of knowing your child wants softness from you, but feared that this softness will somehow be “bad” for him/her in some way?

NLP isn't only for creating change & modeling excellence... often its for tolerance!
This article discusses how NLP & Life Coaching can be taken too far, into the realm of the "ALWAYS HAVE TO HELP PEOPLE IMPROVE NO MATTER WHAT" mindset -- which tends to poison relationships and make people feel inadequate all the time.

Teenage Wasteland? It Doesn't Have To Be!
Someone once said that everyone should be born at 50. That way we would be wise right from the start! Unfortunately, that is not the case. And as far as parenting goes there is no instruction tag on our children either. There are so many temptations for teenagers that even the most responsible teens make poor decisions. Parents can do many things to help educate and inform our youth of dangers that can arise, but in the legal aspect, the best thing a parent can do is know your family's rights and responsibilities as stated by the law.

Management actions that speak louder than words
Do as I say, not as I do. This doesn't seem to work in parenting and it doesn't work in business either. Communication, despite knowing it to be a problem, continues to be a challenge in most organizations. Typical results-driven managers mistakenly feel that once they have said something once, everyone should have heard and understood the message and be willing to implement immediately. In the absence of plentiful and repeated communication, most messages in an organization are communicated non-verbally through the actions observed. In fact these non-verbal messages define the organization's culture over time. Here we identify four management actions that transmit plenty of information to the organization about what is valued and not valued.

Hold a KTC
What's a KTC? I have 5 children and one of the best tools I used when parenting them was holding a KTC. I used to be the parent that TOLD the kids what to do. I learned quickly that NO ONE likes to be told what to so - whether they are two or ninety two. So what's a KTC? A Kitchen Table Conference. When one was called, everyone knew to arrive at the table with a pencil and paper because solutions were going to get made for any challenge we were facing at the time. Whether it was how to keep the house clean, show more respect for each other, improve their diet, get better grades in school, or decide on a vacation. The number one rule about holding a KTC is GREEN LIGHTING. What that means is when someone voices any opinion or suggestion, it must be accepted and written down.
