New research has emerged that may offer a clue as to how stereotypes of certain groups of people are formed, possibly giving fathers insight as to how to use their
parenting skills to educate their children. The study, which was published in the Journal of Consumer Research, looked at how children made conclusions based on a person's appearance and the products associated with them. For example, a well-dressed woman wearing lots of jewelry and talking on an iPhone may conjure up a certain ...

When my oldest boy was really young, he tickled my mother with
that phrase. I would ask him, "What's the matter?" and he would
answer me, "Well, what the matter is..." followed by whatever it
was that he needed to discuss with me. He would say it with that
very serious face that children get when they are expecting to
be taken very seriously. We all loved the cute way he prefaced
his concerns.
I overheard my daughter talking to my two year old the other day
and it caused me to remember those ...

Graduation from college marks the beginning of a new form of independence and freedom. Gone are the days of answering to professors and parents. This important junction signifies a sort of rite of passage into adulthood, as former students will for the first time strike out on their own to navigate the world for themselves. While this is undoubtedly a time of unparalleled excitement and ambition, it is also a time of uncertainty. As the reality of fending for themselves sets in, many ...

My oldest boy is fifteen and was a real jerk about a month ago.
He had gotten pretty full of himself and acted like he was too
cool for the rest of the family. Pretty typical teenager
behavior, but I didn't like it. I had gotten to the end of my
patience with him and laid into him about how lousy it felt to
be treated that way. We ended up in a huge fight. He argued that
he wasn't acting any different than normal and that I was just
choosing to see things negatively. So, I laid out ...

'The snow goose need Not bathe to make its self white Neither

Lao-Tse
In Corrogue it is snowing and I am sending valentines.
I remember that tomorrow is St. Valentines Day. It is a day when
we are encouraged to remember Love. Some may think this day has
become yet another day of commercial exploitation. Another day
when one is pressured to act in ways one resists.
Yet I am reminded of the essence of such a day. It reminds me of
the beautiful line from one ...

One of my long time best friends called me the other night with
a horrible pain in her heart. She needed someone to talk to.
Rumor had it her daughter might be suicidal and she was trapped
on a business trip until the next evening. Her husband was home
handling the situation, but she wasn't going to be okay until
she could hold her daughter close. She needed to look deep into
her daughter's eyes to get a 'read' on what was really going on
inside her mind. Until she could really sit down and ...

breath about the pain of having to exercise, yet deep down we
all know that we must.
I mean, all of us know deep down (and for some it really is well
hidden), that for us to live healthy lifestyles we really do
need to be putting some sort of effort into making proper
exercise a reality.

Traditionally men's wedding rings have been your basic gold or white gold bands that have been far less extravagant than their counterpart women's wedding bands. The reasons for this are obvious. Men traditionally required less extravagance to satisfy their tastes and also, it's about all a man could afford after spending the majority of his life savings on that diamond! As we transition from an industrial nation, men's tastes have evolved to desire small embellishments and men have become a ...

5.2 million 6-19 year old have hearing loss directly related to
noise exposure*. Don't let your child be part of this
unfortunate group.
PEACE & QUIET
'Offer your child peace and quiet,' says the Noise Center.
'Noise poses a serious threat to children's hearing, health,
learning and behavior.' (And I can't think of an adult who
functions well in a noisy environment either.) 'Peace' and
'quiet' usually go together because without 'quiet' there can be
no 'peace.'

Jackass stunts, high school hazing and herd mentality. How can

pool. 'Why would they do that?' parents ask. And their next

The sixties was the decade that broke many fashion clothing rules. The late sixties saw the advent of the hippie movement along with its particular clothing fashions of bell-bottom jeans and flowing caftans made in batik prints and tie-dyes. If you didn't go for hippie fashion then you could chose the angel dress with its long, wide sleeves and skirt that was short and flared. The more conservative woman wore lounging pajamas with wide, pleated legs instead of frayed jeans. From culottes to the ...
