If you’ve ever watched the show Supernanny, you know how far kids will go to get their way, especially if their parents have proven time and time again that they’re pushovers. They will throw a tantrum until their parents give in, learning that bad behavior gets them exactly what they want. Until parents can stand …

‘Do not homeschool your kids. You are NOT up to it.’: Former homeschoolers share why they think parents should not homeschool their kids
Homeschooling is one of those things that everyone has a strong opinion about. As a public schooler for life, I can’t speak to the experience of kids who were never in a traditional school environment, but I know for certain that I would’ve hated it. I love being around people, and I get kind of …

When a child is abandoned by or taken out of their biological parents’ home, it usually doesn’t mean that they’re going to live with strangers for the rest of their lives. Kinship fostering and adoption are traditionally a much better alternative for kids in precarious family situations because it keeps them connected to some of …

Mom grounds 15-year-old daughter for 4 months and bans her from her cheerleading competition after she mocked 16-year-old classmate for having reading problems: ‘You’ll also apologize to Zoey in front of the [youth] group’
Grounding is such a subjective part of parenting. My parents were never the type to ground me or my sister for months on end; it usually took not letting us go to a singular function to learn our lesson. But then again, I don’t think we ever did anything worth months and months of penance. …

‘The other staff are also in school’: Boss schedules 15-year-old worker during school hours, makes the teen find a cover
There’s nothing more dehumanizing than being a teenage worker at an exploitative business. It’s a pretty good rule of thumb that if an establishment is regularly hiring 15 and 16-year-olds, it’s probably not the most ethical business in the world. It’s so much easier for bosses to take advantage of teenagers who’ve never worked anywhere …
