Getting Children to Sleep
In order for us to get restful sleep, we need to be relaxed. In order to relax, a number of things have to happen. First of all, we need to feel safe and secure. Obviously, if there is tension in the house - abuse, parents rowing, problems with finances or neighbours, or else problems at school or with friends, it will be much harder to relax and fall asleep.

There are a lot of reasons kids steal. Some kids steal for comfort, to impress a group of friends, get retaliate against their parents, or sometimes to simply get the things they want.

Why Do We Fight with Our Teenagers?
Your child has entered the teenage years. You enjoyed the first thirteen years of your child's life. You worried about them every day. You changed so many diapers during their early years and watched with a smile on your face as their team placed first in the sixth grade soccer championship. You guided them through the struggles in life such as bruised shins and taking their first test at school. Those years must have been the most difficult, right? However...
Working with Your Special Needs Child
Following are questions asked by parents of special needs children. Do children with special needs have the same understanding of cause and effect, reward and punishment, as other children? The interesting thing is that this is not an issue. All creatures great and small have an interest in reward versus punishment to some degree.
