If you are a parent in need of a little help and advice have you had a look at the PARENTS ONLINE website. I have a little one and have found the information there invaluable. Why not have a go and see if there is anything there that you might find useful. It gives you good pointers if you've in the process of looking for schools.
NEVER RESORT TO VIOLENCE, THROWING THINGS AROUND OR LOSING YOUR RAG INFRONT OF YOUR KIDS. THEY WILL THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR - TELL THEM YOU CAN'T TALK NOW AND WALK AWAY. WHEN YOU'VE COOLED DOWN, START AGAIN.
One of the most difficult things about childrearing is that the ultimate goal is essentially to work yourself out of a job. In other words, if all goes well your child will become increasingly independent until one day he or she is launched into the world with a life and job and even partner of his or her own. Taking care of themself.

TEENAGERS - This is probably the most difficult time parents will encounter when raising their kids. We all remember the "good old days" when kids were seen and not heard. Teenagers are different today, they've grown up with a sense of entitlement. They have the freedom of speech, their opinions are valued and often know their rights. It's our fault the times have changed, we didn't like the way we were brought up, but only now can we see that things weren't that bad. There is no turning back now - it looks like the new methods of disciplining kids is here to stay. Throwing in the towel and "giving up" is not the way to handle our kids today. You've got to realize that by the time a child is 13 to 18 years old, the job of parenting is 60 percent to 80 percent complete, so it's vital you get your points across before it's too late. Try not to focus on the minor irritating things they do and emphasise on the severities. A lot of the time they are just testing you. They are ultimately trying to work towards their "independence" and testing people is the best way to get prepared for the real world. Independence is good - you don't want them living with you forever.
