Take the lead in child's departure from home
It’s moving season and your child may be leaving for college or that first apartment to start a new job.
Things in your family will be different from that point forward, even difficult, but in the next few weeks many parents will figure out how to make the transition for their family.

Fighting in front of your children
We’ve all heard the parenting advice: “Don’t fight in front of the kids.” While this is great advice, most parents will find that over the many years of raising children it is much easier said than done.
Conflict is a part of life, and it’s more important how you resolve it than pretending it doesn’t exist. Conflicts can give you a chance to teach your children how to discuss and work out problems without getting into a heated argument, fighting or putting your child in the middle.

Time to have the "text talk" with your kids
Having a cell phone is a great way for kids to stay in touch with friends and family.
It can also become a distraction in the classroom, at mealtime, while driving or interfere with sleep. If this is a problem in your household, it’s time to have a “text talk” with your child.

Give your college students a spending plan
Have a son or daughter going off to college? You can help them make good decisions with their money.
When asked how to make good decisions with money, I start by taking a look at spending — and now is the time to talk with them about money management skills.
Even though we may not always consciously ask ourselves questions about money, every spending decision involves questions: What are the options? What are the pros and cons of each option? Which option will I choose? Will I choose that option in the future?

Get outside and enjoy nature
Do you remember the time you spent outdoors when you were a child? I lived on a farm, with many opportunities to get outside and run through the fields, garden, make mud-pies, build forts and more.
Parents don’t often turn their children loose and tell them to “go out and play” like my parents used to tell me.
