Building a Great Relationship with Your Child
The only leverage we ever really have with our children is their love for us. It's never too late to build a great relationship with your child.

Re-Connecting with Your Child
Much of the same advice applies that was true when he was a toddler: Reconnect every day, and don't wait when you see there's repair work to be done.

Positive Discipline
"Because I say so!" stops working with teens. Your best strategy is a strong relationship, clear limits, and lots of empathy. Here's how.

Dinner: Your Insurance Policy
The more frequently teens eat dinner with their families the better they do in school, the happier they say they are, and the less likely they are to get involved with drugs, alcohol, sex, or vandalism.

Helping Your Preteen Develop Good Judgment
Even if you could hover over your child and help him navigate every obstacle, it wouldn't be good for him. The teen years are the critical time for kids to develop their own judgment and learn to draw on their own internal resources.
