Not to mention the A.D.H.D., the obesity, the lack of creative thought factors.

Art imitates life and research imitates common sense, it seems. A new study has found that the more young people watch television, the poorer their relationships with both their friends and parents. Read more…
I appreciate the author’s attitude on how ridiculous this is. Since when is it okay to usurp parental authority over a ten-year-old and teach them the “pleasures of sex”? When was sex ever a good thing for any child? Please, let’s teach children NOT to have any self-control. Let’s tell them to sneak around their parents so they can “do it,” get STDs to share with others, get pregnant, and have more abortions all for the sake of sexual pleasure. Fantastic idea, Planned Parenthood. Way to help them become responsible, healthy, well-adjusted adults. And I’m sure all parents would love their kids to start having sex as soon as possible. Get real!
Idiots.

The International Planned Parenthood Federation is the umbrella organization for 180 Planned Parenthood organizations around the world. It recently released a report called “Stand and Deliver: Sex, health and young people in the 21st century.” The term “young people” refers to anyone over the age of 10.
The IPPF report includes a list of “Young People’s Human Rights.” Among them are the following: Read more…
As a father of young children, I often try to come up with interesting and innovative ways to tackle the challenges that my children pose.
Perhaps, in later posts, I’ll discuss the wisdom of parenting guru John Rosemond, “Ozzy Therapy,” my skull and crossbones time out mat or my philosophy of “Science Fiction Parenting” (it pretty much follows John Rosemond’s ordinary suggestions, but it adds in the frequent shouting of the words “RESISTANCE IS FUTILE” whenever the children refuse to obey).
But today, I’m going to discuss a little experiment I did. My daughter is about the age in which she needs to learn to go to the bathroom herself at night and no longer depend on diapers.
The trouble is she needs to find the door in order to make it to the bathroom. We could not use a night light (the kids would stay up and party rather than sleep). You know what we did? We bought a roll of glow in the dark tape. We made a line from her bed to the door. We also put a small square of the tape on the door knob. Now she’ll be able to find the door in the pitch dark. I’ll tell you if it works. (If it doesn’t work, expect deafening silence on my part).
(To help in ending enuresis, we got one of those alarms by Malem. So far, it’s been working rather well).
There is more to this story from the UK than may first meet the eye. British religious schools receive some taxpayer funding. Therefore, this program will apply to all schools, including religious schools that have a very different view of human sexuality, and of the relationship between children, parents and the state.
Britain’s House of Commons is set to vote on legislation this week that would introduce a program of sex education to primary school children from as young as 5 years of age.
The “Children, Schools and Families Bill” also contains many other clauses which, critics say, Read more…
I’m seeing good articles like these more and more. Surely the citizens of these countries must know what’s up. But why aren’t they doing anything about it? Perhaps it’s the “someone else will solve the problem. I don’t have to do anything” mentality.

In Kamikatsu, on the Japanese island of Shikoku, officials have set up an agricultural cooperative whose members log on to computers daily to check the fluctuating prices of the produce that they grow. Then they go out and pick whatever is fetching the best price that day. Unusual, yes, but what’s truly surprising about this cooperative is the average age of its members: 70. In a country where lots of folks retire at 60, Kamikatsu’s residents are working well into their senior years—and they’re doing so not only to buoy retirement earnings but also to energize the local economy. With nearly half of the town’s residents 65 and older, the government realized that there simply wasn’t enough of a traditional workforce available to build or staff most typical industries.

Judith Stacy and Timothy Biblarz have a publication coming out in February, claiming that children raised by same sex couples do as well as those raised by opposite sex couples. No, I have not seen the study yet. I’ll let you know what I think, once the study has been published and I’ve had a chance to look at it.
More example of how children are affected by the poor decisions of their parents. Seems they are so often the last ones to be thought of.
We are used to the sad stories of children who have never known their fathers, and of those whose fathers become estranged through divorce; but there are a growing number of children who risk losing the only father they have ever known because he discovers he is not their father after all.
