    Gross Commercialization

    How young was your child when you allowed them to watch TV?

    I am doing a blogtalkradio show (at BlogTalkRadio.com/markstrohm) and will be talking about the affects of TV on Children. I would love to know how old your children were when you began to allow them to watch TV. My children were between 2 and 4 when we allowed them to watch certain videos.

    Appropriate discipline for racist remark

    Sometimes the best "punishment" is not punitive. You certainly do not want your child to be bitter or have a huge amount of attention fall on this subject. And for sure you don't want your child to think that your real care or concern is out of your embarrassment or your reputation. There are...

One frustration I have with the well sponsored secular efforts to help stop inappropriate contentography, they are reluctant to endorse internet filtering. It just does not make sense to me! I teach parents about internet safety through my...

    Was I duped?

    One thing to remember, even though she lied to you, that does not mean that you "failed." Showing her love and consistency was all you could do. You are not called to change her heart. You were right in asking her to leave. Now you can only pray that God will touch her heart. One word of...

    1st Day of School

    As someone who was a School Principal for more than 20 years - we are well aware how tough it is for many of the moms! And that is not a bad sign! We always appreciated those well loved kindergarten students. We knew we would be able to count on those moms in the months to come.

    dealing with lying??

    We should always be careful not to justify away what is plainly sin. To lying is an act of sin. Of course we need to help our children learn and understand what is right and wrong. All parents are commanded to train our children in the ways of the Lord. So we train first, then we need to...
