					<description><![CDATA[You’ve probably heard it said that being a parent is the hardest job in the world. Children are a joy, but they surprise you and challenge you to do things you didn’t know you’d ever have to do. Often just getting through a day can be a major achievement. You have to be strong to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today I read a disturbing article. The truth: the executives of tech companies that create social media don&#8217;t care. They not only don&#8217;t care if their technologies are addictive, they&#8217;re counting on it. They don&#8217;t care that vulnerable children become sad and depressed from using their products. They don&#8217;t care that social media are platforms [&#8230;]]]></description>

The most common mistake parents make when interacting with their child is failing to recognize when they should be listening, and they miss the opportunity. I call these opportunities listening moments. Here are some of the most common parent-child situations that call for your best listening skills: When you ask an open-ended question, [&#8230;]]]></description>

I followed my best instincts and made some good things happen. But nobody&#8217;s perfect, as they say, and I also lost my temper quite a few times. I said things [&#8230;]]]></description>

If you didn&#8217;t see it coming, maybe it&#8217;s because you didn&#8217;t want to believe the signs all around us. What do two-year-olds know about the world around them?

Not that I can&#8217;t engage; I just prefer reflecting about the world around me. It&#8217;s a pattern that has served me well in learning, researching, and writing.

					<description><![CDATA[As I write this, I&#8217;m aware that these are troubled times. So I was alarmed but not surprised at reports of a rising trend in teen suicide. The CDC says that suicide is the second leading cause of death among teenagers. The word &#8220;unthinkable&#8221; comes to mind. A teen suicide is a tragedy so awful [&#8230;]]]></description>

A lot of fun. A lot of love. I&#8217;ve enjoyed watching the kids grow up. I sometimes wonder what the kids will be like when they become teenagers. [&#8230;]]]></description>
