					<description><![CDATA[Fact: If you haven&#8217;t nurtured a loving, trusting relationship with your child, they won&#8217;t be open to your guidance. And they need a lot of guidance. During the first 20 years of life, they have a lot of growing up to do as they avoid the pitfalls of adolescence and prepare for life on their [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I know several parents whose child is fast approaching adolescence. Even raising a sweet child can be difficult in many ways, but after puberty the challenges change.
