Parent Tuesday – Show Appreciation

October 30, 2012 / Scott McCown / 3 Comments

This morning I want to turn our thoughts a different direction for Parenting Tuesday.  Instead of writing for parents, this article is for the offspring of parents (or those adopted by their parents). This is for YOU, the reader. Make today Parent Appreciation Day. Take time out of your schedule  to: 1) Call your parents; … Continue reading Parent Tuesday – Show Appreciation

Time is Important

October 23, 2012 / Scott McCown / 1 Comment

Almost every parenting blog, book, sermon, lecture, and pamphlet have at least one mention concerning the importance of spending time with your children.  Yet, I find that all the recommendations are like the dietary requirements I am supposed to follow.  If I really drank all the water I am supposed to, consumed the correct number … Continue reading Time is Important

A-Parently So

September 18, 2012September 18, 2012 / Scott McCown / 3 Comments

Apparently, some parents are not parenting. Apparently, some think parenting is the same as having offspring. Apparently, some parents want to be their child's best friend and not their guide. Apparently, some children have never heard the word, "no" and consequently rule the home. Apparently, some children receive little if any training in the discipline … Continue reading A-Parently So
