Guideline for teaching Ian manners

How to help Ian cope with disappointment

What to teach your child emotionally?

School admissions no measure of one's worth

Human bonding is central to learning and happiness

Policy makers by nature do not place that much importance in human bonding, which may not be correct.

Maybe it is time to focus less on individual capability but emotional attachment. 

Humans require emotions to process academic information. The family is very important.

Teenagers do not get enough sleep

Today: 29Oct14

The average teenager needs 8.5 hours to 9.5 hours of sleep per night. 

Due to puberty, it is difficult for them to sleep before 11pm. Based on biological sleep needs, they should get up around 8am.

And electronic distractions are cutting their sleep further. Institute an electronic curfew before bedtime.

No 'something for nothing' for Ian

It harms our son and harms his parents.
