Dear Caron,
I am an RN and just started a new job in a mental health facility. The focus is on children and adolescence. We do a daily "group" with them. We may pick the topic the only criteria being "education" of some sort. I wanted to offer some valuable coping skills kids could use. So, I went to the computer and spent over an hour clicking on lists of Internet items looking for help. I was getting very tired and needed to go to bed. When bingo" I found your article on kids, trauma, and coping skills! I just wanted to say a great big thank-you for your helpful article!
Sincerely ,
Charlotte Rogers

A Note from Dr. Caron Goode ~

I hope your are having a beautiful Fall. My husband Tom and I recently relocated from the lovely Sonoran desert of Tucson, AZ to the softer, green Lake Whitney, TX area, located about half-way between Ft. Worth and Waco, TX. One reason is to grow the Academy for Coaching Parents which provides a distance-learning program for professionals and stay-at-home parents alike. You can learn from home, earn more income, and take on the role of a lifetime. Check out
www.acpi.biz. In this Inspired Parenting magazine edition, you will find inspiration for a financially healthy family in several guest articles as well as info you must have about teen identity theft. Please see Anna Stewart's latest book review and Shauna's last teen column on enforcing rules. Also, we introduce our new grandparenting columnist, Karen Robbins. Please let me know how you like her wisdom. Happy reading! Thank you,

Dr. Caron Goode

You think to yourself, "If only it were that easy". Managing money is a tough concept for children to grasp, and sometimes equally as challenging for parents. In order for your children to develop healthy money habits to take with them into adulthood, you, as their parent, must manage your money wisely and be diligent about teaching the concept of money to your children.  Read on...


Teen Talk: Enforcing Rules

By Shauna Smith Duty

By the time a child reaches his teen years, time-out isn't an effective punishment for misbehavior. Parenting is supposed to be a blessing, a wonderful experience of love and purpose. Then why does it seem to force premature gray hair and sometimes a nervous twitch? Balancing the unanswerable questions, like what rules are reasonable for teens, with individualized discipline, can make parenting feel like the ultimate punishment. Read on...

Grandma's Strawberry Patch

By Karen Robbins

As children learn how to live, it is important for parents to allow and even encourage them to make mistakes. To punish children for making mistakes will keep them from growing. Helping them recover from mistakes will let them know that they are loved, that they are human, and that the world is a safe place.  Read on...


Money Matters

By Lloyd J. Thomas, Ph.D.

From the moment they are conceived, the process of letting go of our children begins. Even in the womb, they are not our possessions but rather our guests. The first kicks excite you. Then you try and have someone else feel the baby and he doesn't move. Read on...
