** Child Development & Parenting ** "How far you go in your life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these." -- George Washington Carver -- ************************ Child Development & Parenting Information http://www.childdevelopmentinfo.com/ Family Education http://www.fvsd.ab.ca/stm/welcome%20back%20to%20school%20page.htm Positive Parenting www.investinkids.ca   Parent Help Guide http://www.helpguide.org/ http://parentingteens.about.com/ Talking to Your Child About Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder http://www.ldonline.org/article/5991 Separation, Divorce and Custody http://kidshelp.sympatico.ca/en/informed/sub_divorce.asp?sec=3&sb=2 Helping Your Child Cope with Separation or Divorce http://www.helpguide.org/mental/children_divorce.htm Kids Guide to Separation and Divorce http://www.familieschange.ca/kids/help/help2.htm Divorce and Children http://www.datehookup.com/content-divorce-and-children.htm Helping Children to Cope http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/oes-bsu-02/child_e.html Dealing with Grief & Loss http://www.counselingcenter.uiuc.edu/?page_id=175 http://childparenting.about.com/cs/emotionalhealth/a/childgrief.htm?p=1 ____________________________________________________________________________ Friendship “When we honestly ask ourselves which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is the friend who cares.”   Henri Nouwen  -  Out of Solitude
