Yet, single parents are dating in unprecedented numbers, so if you’re looking for another “head of household” to date, you’ll find one. As a responsible parent, you’ll want to be very cautious about whom you date and eventually bring home for the safety and well-being of your child(ren).

Of course it is, as long as you do it responsibly, and your children are not disrupted by your dating.ARTArticleSo Many People Can’t Be WrongThe same ideas keep coming up and going around again time and time again. I heard Dr Phil say, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, man can achieve". Of course Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie had been shouting this idea for years. Then imagine my surprise when Wikipedia attributed the same quote to Marcus Aurelius, in 4 BC! My first real ‘understanding’ of this concept was in the Marlo Thomas produced TV Special "Free to Be… You and Me"ARTArticleSpeak To Your Child As If He Were A Dear FriendSpeak to your child the way you would like them to speak to you... respectfully, lovingly and with dignity.

This is a shocking statistic! What happens between the time the marriage vows are spoken and that first episode of cheating? It's an assumption, of course, but I don't think that 80% of the people who get married intend to cheat or be part of a love triangle.ARTArticleStarting againI had a male friend who would have breakfast with me on Sunday mornings every once in a while.

I asked him if there was anything wrong, and he started to explain that his ...ARTArticleStop Annoying Back Talk Now!Let’s say you ask your child to do a simple task like feed the dog. The next thing you know, you hear “Why do I always have to feed the dog?” Or maybe you hear sarcasm and a smart-alecky tone of voice while your child says, “You don’t really expect me to do that?” Makes you long for the days ...ARTArticleStupid CupidMiley Cyrus is only 19, and she's just gotten engaged to Liam Hemsworth. Will it last? Well, the fact that it's a celebrity match is not in its favor -- celebrity couples don't have a great track record. As a little pre-wedding gift, here's what Miley and Liam can do to make sure they're ready for a long, happy marriage. In my counseling practice, I see lots of couples who don’t make it, because they're not prepared, and their expectations are out of line with reality. In my counseling practice, however, I see lots of couples who don’t make it, for various reasons.ARTArticleSuccess in Four StepsIn my private counseling practice, clients often tell me, "I want to be happy!" We then set about making it a reality. As a psychotherapist, I know that your habits, your relationships, your environment, and especially what you think about them determine more about how happy you are than your genes do because I've watched so many people figure out how to meet their goals and create their own happiness. You can improve any part of your life you wish: your relationship with yourself, your relationships with others, your work life, your home life, and even your health.ARTArticleSuccessful Parenting ~ What Does It Look Like?What is successful parenting?

You are a unique expression of the universal life force. Spirit guides you from the moment your life begins. The people and events of your life reflect your spirit's journey. No one else ever has or will affect the world as you do. With every act, word or ...ARTArticleSurviving Loss and Thriving AgainNone of us wants to think about it, but the standard definition of a totally successful relationship is the old, traditional “til death do us part.” Any time we love, whether it’s a life partner, a dear friend, a child, a sibling, a parent or even a beloved pet, we are risking the loss of that love.ARTArticleTake Time For Training And PlanningIn Positive Discipline, Jane Nelson reminds us to take time for training and planning to avoid power struggles, frustration, hassles and misunderstandings.
