		<description><![CDATA[Children and internet safety is a primary concern for parents.  The internet, social networking and online communities are changing fast- certainly not news by now. But how can parents reasonably protect children from online predators given normal curiosity and also give them independence?

		<description><![CDATA[I am frequently troubled as I continue to meet young high school graduates who have never held a job and have basically no independent living skills.  That is to say they cannot cook, do laundry, budget money, or run errands.  Many cannot even wait to drive.  We live in a world of play dates and homework.  Masses of homework. ..

I do consider a child&#8217;s ability to self-soothe, relax, and calm their own mind to be a necessity.

They have to sit with them for hours &#8211; often until way past their bedtime- to complete assignments, with no time left over to unwind or play. Many times, these kids are in the second or third grade. Occasionally, children do have learning disorders <a href="http://www.lisariggs.com/homework/"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>
