Proverbs for Parenting
by Patricia
R. Chadwick
Life is busy. We live in an extremely fast-paced society

thing that needs to be done. We don't take a lot of time to reflect
on our own lives, let alone have time to think about the situation
of others. <more...>

Teaching Character
by Kay Green
What is character? How do we give it to our kids? How do we
walk in it? Is it really so important? What does godly character
look like? Do you find yourself asking these questions? I do!

Ask most teens what they want to be when they grow up and you'll get either a blank stare or the reply *a
doctor like the ones on SCRUBS*. Teens today gain their awareness of various professions
from the glorified images on television and movies. At the moment, there is a rise in interest in forensics due to the

computers? Great! You'll be the next Bill Gates. <more...>

will test the moral fiber of your teen and give them the opportunity
to make their own decisions, hopefully making wise choices along the
way. <more...>

Good Manners
By Dionna Sanchez
Good manners. How often are they discussed in your home? How often are they reinforced?
