Sometimes we want so much for our children to be successful that we produce the opposite result from our efforts. This article on "Pushing Children to Perfection" shows how over-parenting can be hurting your child and what to do about it.
One of the most interesting from our articles on parenting is "Catch 'Em Young", which refers to intervening early, especially for disadvantaged children. But the urgency and the results spoken of in this article apply to all early work with children.
After Benjamin Friedman - the Harvard Professor of Political Economy - wrote the much-talked about book "The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth", Megan McArdle published an interesting review of his book, titled: "The Virtue of Riches". Explaining the benefits of having wealthy citizens, she writes, "When earnings are growing, Friedman says, people are more tolerant of minorities, more welcoming to immigrants, more solicitous of their fellow citizens, more supportive of democratic institutions, and just plain better specimens of humanity." Wealth is good for everyone!
A must-read from all articles on parenting is: "Perception of Self Motivates Obese Children to Make Changes". It refers to a recent study that shows how a child's self esteem is the greatest motivator for removing body fat than any other factor - including the amount of excessive weight the child has. This shows how very important it is to continue to support your child and his/her worth to you and society in order to produce a child able to make positive changes, when needed.
A very interesting book by James A. Dorn titled "The Future of Money in the Information Age" goes into some detail describing the impact of the internet on money and how our children will be using money. Take a look at the book review and see how it will be easier to share that money too.
If you saw the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?", then you will look forward to seeing its sequel "What the Bleep - Down the Rabbit Hole". Don’t miss this important movie! This site offers you not only the movie’s trailer and a great deal of information about both films, but also some information about the fascinating phenomena exhibited in the movies. What impresses me most is the water crystals which show how very important your words are to your child.
Another valuable resource on our Articles on Parenting page is this planned high school graduation speech by Paul Graham, a prominent essayist and venture capitalist: "What You’ll Wish You’d Known". His speech was censored from being given by the school authorities. Why? Because it is really insightful into the thoughts of high school students - after they have graduated. Reading his planned speech will enable you to help your child or children even more!

Do you perceive a struggle between being rich and being spiritual?

This article inspired by John Taylor Gatto’s book: "The Underground History of American Education" titled "The Educational System Was Designed to Keep Us Uneducated and Docile" helps to explain the importance of parents. When the goal of the educational system is to prepare students for the 9-5 job, then it leaves out quite a bit of training for one who will be rich.
Another gem on our Articles on Parenting page is the observation made by the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, Dr. Peter Jensen about the "Lost Art of Raising Children". According to Dr. Jensen - children suffer from a "serious hope deficit and an equally serious love deficit". Clearly hope and love are extremely important in order to raise a wealthy child.
