    mom lecturing teen daughter

    So who is this new person that my used-to-be-child, is bringing home to dinner? You ask yourself this and many other questions as your over-protective husband loads up his 12-gauge shotgun ready to hunt the boy that he won’t let prey on his baby girl. 

    Maybe it’s your son’s first date and he wants to use the car to take his sweetie pie around town. But remember, he’s seventeen with a lead foot and he already has two tickets to his name thus raising his insurance. 

    Parents, what do you do when your children start dating?

    You dread to think about it, I know. Your kids are getting older; the innocent years of their childhood are only to become memories in digital photo albums on the family computer. Parents, please realize this is all a part of growing up. Heck do you honestly think that your parents were happy with all of dating choices, probably not. 

    Embrace your children as they grow into mature adults. Give them hope; tell them stories about your dating joys and woes when you were their age. Truth be told, I still like to hear those same ol’ stories about when my parents were dating. It gives me a slice of hope and also great to hear.

    So parents, single or married, be there for your kids when they need your advice, though you may not agree with who they’re with at the time. Remember; opposition creates more walls.

    road trip 
     
    When I was younger, I actually got excited for road trips. I still do. And I didn’t have video games and a TV and all sorts of other gadgets in the car to keep me occupied. My mom and I played roadtrip games like the license plate alphabet game. My mom, by the way, was awesome and very creative at coming up with ways to keep me entertained on even the longest of trips.

    One summer we drove, (just the two of us), from Michigan to Louisiana and back again. This was pre-GPS and my mom kept me busy looking at maps. I even figured out a fun shortcut that shaved about an hour off our trip and made me feel all-so-grownup and important.

    Children today tend to be a bit more challenging to keep entertained and occupied on roadtrips but it’s not an impossible feat.

    Tips for Roadtrips with Kids

    • Plan Ahead – Involve your children in the planning process. Tell them ahead of time how long the trip will take, where’re you going, and show them on a map. A road trip can be stressful for a child when they don’t know the who, what, when and where of it all.
    • Take Time to Smell the Proverbial Roses – Although as adults, we may be focused on getting to our destination as quickly as possible, 5 straight hours in a car is hard on a child. Plan in some stops and sightseeing along the way. Generally, a stop every 2 hours or less is good. Longer than that and you’re in for some grumpy little ones.
    • Kid Friendly Sights – Rather than planning the day of shopping you’d like to do in Chicago, take into account what your kids would rather be doing. Aquariums, amusement parks, and weird tourist attractions will be a much bigger hit with the little ones.

    Being a parent is a big responsibility and very difficult at times, but being a single mom can be even more challenging. During tough time you never find anyone around to help you. That's when single moms must take the initiative and search for the answers. It's often helpful to try tips and suggestions offered by other single moms. Mostly there is an argument in our society that single moms cannot raise her son emotionally and physically healthy and that their sons tend to have an effeminate side to their personalities, that is, traits that are more often associated with traditional feminine gender roles rather than masculine roles. But with time myths are breaking. Some of the most famous celebrities raised by single moms are Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, Tom Cruise and Les Brown.

    Kids and teens grow and go through puberty at different times. For girls, puberty usually begins between ages 8 and 13. For guys it often begins a bit later - between 10 and 15. You must have observed some teens develop a lot earlier, whereas others develop much later than other people of the same age. There's a medical reason why some people grow more slowly than usual.

    Reasons of slow growth:

    • Genetic Reason: If you're short, you may just have familial (genetic) short stature. Like short parents tend to have short children.

     

    Growth Hormone Deficiency
    • Lack of Nutrition: Not getting adequate amounts of protein, calories, and other nutrients in your diet can also cause growth to slow, as well as a number of other chronic medical conditions such as kidney, heart, lung, and intestinal diseases.
