Social Skills

Why is it important that your son respects women? When we talk about rape and sexual assault, too often we talk only about the victims – whether to blame them, or how to help them, to tell them it’s not their fault, or to warn them who they should be alert about, but we never address the main issue- how does the media affect the way your son thinks about women?

It’s almost inevitable: kids will behave badly in public and moms and dads will turn red with shame and guilt that their little ones are creating a scene. So what’s a mom to do when her child begins to behave badly in public? How can a mom teach her children to behave themselves?

You are an extremely proud parent to a naughty but an adorable toddler. You are excited, happy and enthusiastic all at the same time to celebrate your child’s birthday. So obviously you must be toying with the idea of throwing a birthday bash complete with all the party throw-ins.

Friendships are important, but your guidance and monitoring of activities are needed for your child to be safe and successful. As children grow, friendships take on new meaning and they are bound to have misunderstandings and fights with their friends.

If there’s one thing in the world that no one can have enough of, it’s kindness! Especially for a growing child, it is vital to learn to be considerate of other people’s feelings and be compassionate towards them. As parents, it is upto us to create an environment for the children in order for them to develop empathy and learn how to be considerate towards others.
