Why is Life Insurance Important For Children?
One of the greatest gifts you can give. Life Insurance for children is a small price to pay for peace of mind and the benefits are worth it.
Life Insurance can often be an uncomfortable conversation. Believe me, tell somebody you are a “life insurance salesman” and watch the room clear. But seriously…
The conversation about life insurance for a child can lead to a flood of emotions. That is the very reason it is so important to provide for this in your financial plans.

The Limits of Labels: Evaluation Results That Really Matter
If your child has been recently evaluated for behavior or learning problems, his difficulties may have been given a name or ?label’. But, is the label the most important part of the evaluation?
When a child is not developing as expected, the first thing most parents and professionals attempt to do is figure out a name for what is going on. The assessment or evaluation process is often viewed as the path to determine an appropriate diagnosis or label for individuals. Disability labels become the gatekeepers for services and supports in schools and the broader community. Parents and professionals therefore become very invested in the name that is given to a child’s condition, both to understand more about the child and to secure treatment. This is a completely normal reaction for parents, as they want what is best for their children and must seek it in a system that provides or denies support based on their child’s label.

Road Rage… Does It Really Help?
Humorous look at parental temper. During our moments of road rage or any other adult temper-tantrum, remember, our children our learning from us. Is what we are teaching them what we want them to learn? Parents beware! The kids may be learning parent habits.
Open your eyes to the morning glory and hit the floor running. Quickly wake the kids. Get them moving to the restroom. Inspect their outfits. Slop some food on the table and call it breakfast. Sprint to the car. Hook in the seatbelts and throw the car in reverse. And, hope that the world gets out of the way while you race the kids to school and dash to the office. Sound familiar?

Keep Your Cool
Going through a divorce can really stir up emotions like margaritas in a blender. But if you’re going to be the best parent for your kids, you need to turn the blender off and learn how to keep your cool.
In the first few years of being divorced, we find that our emotions go through huge vacillations. One minute you’re a calm, kind loving parent - maybe a little overindulgent - and the next minute you have no patience or tolerance for the kids you truly love because now you’re irritated. It’s a huge flip flop, and it’s probably something you ought to consider getting under control, because while it might be normal, in the end it isn’t productive for either you or your children. You only get one chance to raise them right.
