		<description><![CDATA[Has anyone noticed how parenting ideas swing back and forth over the generations, but when we&#8217;re in it, we somehow fail to recognize this fact? Take independence for example. In my grandparents&#8217; day, children of five were expected to pull their weight with responsibilities that would make us gasp today. The generation after that seemed [...]]]></description>

Pa, as he was fondly known, was not highly educated in the traditional sense but he was a student of life. He taught a love of family because he loved his so much.

Comments like, &#8220;I&#8217;m too old to change&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m set in my ways&#8221; are just sad. How can any of us have the presumption to believe that we can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As parents, one of the fine lines we walk is between attentiveness to our child&#8217;s emotions and remaining in charge.
