Parenting doesn't look like it did when we raised our original children, but then children today are coming to us with many more problems than our original children did.  When all is said and done, the only way to reach a child is to build a relationship - and isn't that really what we have always done?  We just don't use the threats, punishments, comments and judgements we used to. &lt;br /&gt;'&lt;br /&gt;Are you interested in parenting without anger?  Are you interested in having fun with your teengaer?  That is what we teach and practice, and I would love to share a conversation with you about parenting and fun.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4351651377540634813-462971442324474209?l=carla-atkinson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4351651377540634813/posts/default/462971442324474209'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4351651377540634813/posts/default/462971442324474209'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carla-atkinson.blogspot.com/2009/10/parenting-and-fun.html' title='Parenting and Fun'/><author><name>atkinsoncarla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04305884557732513758</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_R7yyjWQZeFE/SqBSZvaz67I/AAAAAAAAAAU/zO7i852iKyA/S220/100_1806.JPG'/></author></entry></feed>
