					<description><![CDATA[Impatience can ruin a parent-child moment. But how can you strive to be more patient if you aren&#8217;t aware that you need to? Empathy is one of the keys to growing the bond with your child. But how can you exercise empathy more consistently if you don&#8217;t realize that you&#8217;ve missed many opportunities to be [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Being a parent means doing hard things on a regular basis. In other words, raising a child to be a happy, successful, independent adult will require you to engage many aspects of character strength. Likewise, to succeed in life as an adult, a child will also have to gain character strength. In a previous article, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Archeologists have found no evidence that Neanderthals had language abilities; if true, perhaps that&#8217;s part of the reason why they became extinct.

					<description><![CDATA[Almost everything you do as a parent involves communicating with your child. If you do it poorly, very likely you&#8217;ll get a result you don&#8217;t like. If you do it with skill, the results will amaze you. I wholeheartedly believe this. Every parent can benefit greatly by improving the way they communicate with their child.

					<description><![CDATA[So many of the emotional flare-ups and conflicts that arise between parent and child are triggered by the failure to communicate effectively. Instead, we react emotionally, with frustration or anger. It&#8217;s only natural, but it alienates your child. It&#8217;s an old story. The problem is, while love is the foundation for effective communication, love is [&#8230;]]]></description>

When my two sons were small boys, I had never heard the term &#8220;parenting.&#8221; I knew nothing about techniques or skills that would make me a better parent.
