Saying Goodbye to Picture Day
Should parents pass on traditions to their children with no thought for tomorrow? Times have changed, so why do we try to stay the same?
Please try your call again, this is a recording
Modern technology hasn’t just changed the landscape of parenting for married folks. Divorced parents are dealing with the consequences of new tech too. Believe me. I wrote another short story of Parenting sci-fi to give you a sense of where things are going.
Times Have Changed
As a divorced dad, spending time with my kids is important, but most employers don’t share my values on this issue. They never have. Parents are no longer willing to sell the time we have with our kids for chump change. Can our society and economy finally change to support this need?
Down in the Dumps
Opposable thumbs, tool making, and higher emotions are not what set humans apart from other species. We are a ‘parenting’ ape. A homo-patricius, if you will, who spends a great deal of effort raising its kids and passing on knowledge.
This is the first of a series of Sci-fi shorts that I plan on writing, which cover a wide range of modern parenting topics. Hope you enjoy it.
The Last Cookie
After a divorce, will you change the way you discipline your kids? How does a divorced dad deal out Rewards and Punishments when the landscape of parenting has changed?
Quantum Physics of Parenting
Can quantum physics give us a new understanding of how to parent? How the power of observation might affect your child’s potential.
The Good, The Bad, and The Unfriendly
Has anyone ever called you a Helicopter or Tiger Parent? Are you just as confused by those titles as you are to why you’re being judged too harshly? Parents today face more judgment and scrutiny than they ever did before.
End of the Rogue
Becoming a father can change you in ways you never imagined. Research has proven that men experience physical changes almost as significant as a mother does.
You Have the Right to Remain Silent!
Is open communication with your spouse about your parenting practices a good thing? Perhaps you are allowed to do things the way you want to without having to always report or verify it with your significant other.
Missing Link
How did parenting evolve in our species in the first place? What is really going on here and do we really know what we’re doing?
