Speaking, teaching, providing seminars, writing and life coaching are avenues I use to pursue a passionate goal of equipping, empowering and encouraging others to make life changes.
A successful school day begins at home. Far too often, I have encountered the stressed, anxious, and broken face of a child who had a bad morning at home.

Being a father of 2 girls and living with women for most of his life, Shah attempts to share his manly thoughts on parenting, relationships and life in general.
Being a Blogger for over 2 years, it’s only recently that I started rambling about my experiences as a Father, in my own skewed way. After discovering Parent-Space.com, I jumped at the chance to share my incoherent rants with a broader, more parentally inclined audience. While trying to come up with a topic for my first post,

I recently traded in my corporate account exec workaholic lifestyle for full time motherhood. I am now working for my 4 and 7 year old which may be just as stressful, but with a lot more perks. While there are days I am ready for the wine after the "whine", I love love love my new job!
My 7-year old could benefit from some organizational seminars. Unfortunately, these types of courses are only targeted for grown-ups. As his mother, I had two choices. I could continue to get frustrated at his lack of organization and prepare myself for the constant battles ahead or I could take action. As I probably would not have made it until his 8th birthday without blowing a gasket, I chose to take action.

Parenting the angry child can try your patience and push you to the edge of sanity. When your child is explosive and full of bitter anger, you may feel like you are walking on egg shells, not knowing when the next hurricane will be triggered.

I am the mom of 11, grandmother to 3, including a grandson with autism, mother-in-law to 3 and have been married to an amazingly patient man for 36 years.
Boundaries. As a parent, setting boundaries is very important. When they’re little the boundaries tend to be ones for health and safety. As they age, the boundaries we set may be about curfews, or time spent on computers. One boundary that I think is equally important revolves around money and how much we allow them to spend and what they spend it on.

Jennifer is a mom of a teen and tween. She likes to parent with humor and humility realizing that every day is a new day--to make mistakes, to learn a few things, to have some laughs.
I hope that they grow up and do work that they enjoy, feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, have friends who make them feel good about life and themselves. I want them to learn and grow and discover new things every day. I want them to feel successful, satisfied and content. I want to teach them that they alone are the deciding factor in whether any of that happens.

26% of the world population are under 15 and that implies that there are 18,2 million kids roaming the earth. And fortunately for most of them; they are not mindless zombies with no direction or sense of life, they are guided and tutored by adults, occupying several different roles, parents, single parents, gay parents, care givers, teachers and foster parents; to only name a few.

I have the spirituality bug these days. It seems like every time I sit down to write (or think about writing), I’m compelled to reflect on the spiritual. As I mentioned in a recent post here on Parents Space, I am reading a book called The Gift of Faith: Tending the Spiritual Lives of Children by Jeanne Harrison Nieuwejaar.

"Sarah Myles is a freelance writer. Originally from London, Sarah now lives in North Yorkshire with her husband, two children and two cats."
I am 100% certain that I am not the only parent in the world that seems to be constantly asking their children to do things. Put the laundry in the basket, take the plate out into the kitchen, put the rubbish in the bin, put the books back on the shelves, hang the coat on the hook.

When I was about 40 yrs. old I heard a speaker who had written a book about creating “margins” in your life. He was discussing how people’s lives were so full of “stuff” – job, family, committees, activites etc. – that people had absolutely no margin or room in their life for one extra thing.

Why is my child so angry? If your child is chronically angry, there may be a lot of pain behind the anger. Unexpressed and unresolved grief has a way of reappearing in the form of chronic anger and fits of rage. Often times childhood depression is masked behind irritability, anger, and rage.

What is the parental introject? The parental introject is the parent’s voice internalized.
The things that we say to our children today, will be the things that our children say to themselves for the rest of their lives. We must choose our words very carefully.
When we become angry and say things that we don’t mean, we cannot go back and erase those things from our child’s brain. They become part of our child’s neurological hard-wiring.

“Between a stimulus and a response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” -Viktor Frankl
When we become angry or scared the emotional part of our brain responds within the blink of an eye. This is about ten times faster than the rational, reasoning, problem-solving part of our brain.
