Kids have a great imagination. Encourage it. Don't stifle it. Don't put your limitations on them. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean your child doesn't.

 Focus on the kids first... not a great plan. In fact, it's the opposite of what you should be doing. You are an individual first, then part of a couple THEN you are a parent.

Harness the joy and pride of trusting your children (once they are ready) to handle big tools and responsibility.

 Help your children with their homework. Empower them to learn and have fun... but don't cheat them or create long term problems for yourself by doing it FOR them.

 Talking about the birds and the bees (the sex talk) with your young children who may be just starting to explore their bodies.

Do you dread taking a road trip with young kids? It doesn't have to suck like you think it's going to. Ryan gives a step by step example of how to do it right.

 At what age is it okay to leave your kids home alone? At what age, in your state, is it LEGAL to leave you child alone? Do you know your child well enough to trust him/her?

 There is only one person you can change, but it isn't easy... that's you. So stop expecting to change others. Accept it. If they weren't good parents, don't expect them to be good grandparents.

 You don't get it... but if you DID get it, life would be easier. It's about re-framing how you look at life. One way life can be hard, the other way life is a gift.

 How are parents different in dealing with stressful situation? Does one handle illness better than physical dangers? We all parent differently, but it's time we attempt to step outside our comfort zones but stay calm for the betterment of our children.
