Why A Father Is Not A Dad


It can be said that any man who procreates is a father, whether present in that child's life or not.

Is Your Child Becoming A Praise Junkie?

These ways work well for children of certain age groups and children with those relational preferences, but how do you relate to a child or young person who becomes a 'conversational clam' or one who doesn't like physical closeness?Conversely, it is easy to miss the relational signs of children if their ways of relating fit outside our frame of reference.
