"Wait, we're paying kids to clean their rooms now? Cool — who do I send my invoice to for laundry, dishes and literally everything else?" A get-real guide to kid allowances.
ONLINE EXCLUSIVE: In a world where screens keep us ‘connected’ but emotionally distant, our kids need us to actively encourage real, lasting relationships that can actually take flight.
From our March issue: Today’s kids face real pressures — but constant hovering won’t help. The good news: you can step back and help them to grow stronger.
Every baby is a limited-edition original — no duplicates, no restocks. They’re all wonderfully wired in their own ways. And there are little clues that hint at baby intelligence and where your mini me is heading … with your help, of course.
Before yelling, pause and notice your feelings. Staying calm and talking helps kids learn emotional control — skills yelling can’t teach.
Some 44 percent of American teens say they feel anxious without their phones, according to Pew Research. That's so sad. Here's how we can help them.
Parents who have been there (and who have lived to share about it) give insight into what it's REALLY like during those first couple of months at home with a newborn.
Parents who try to be their kids’ best friends often discover too late that skipping authority doesn’t buy closeness — it just leaves everyone confused about who’s supposed to grow up first.
Occasionally, Managing Editor Michael Aldrich has thoughts and opinions on parenting. He shares them in his column, "Dad Beat."
How to get through the next several icy/snowy days without losing your mind with the kids underfoot.
