Raising my kids has taught me many things. I always try to get them to realize that they should think of how their actions could affect anyone else. My parents raised me the same way. So far it’s worked out quite well. There’s often remorse when they do something they know is wrong. That remorse…

I love team sports; baseball, hockey, basketball, hockey just to name a few. My wife and I had put our kids into team sports to teach them fair play and to learn to work together with others. It’s worked out well for the most part. There’s another team sport that has billions of people around…

One of the main jobs we have as parents is to teach our kids to respect other people and their property. My parents did the same thing with my sister, brother and I and that allowed me to understand what it takes as a parent. We were constantly told to stay off the neighbour’s front…

Raising four kids has been fun and tough at the same time. Having patience has made it easier to keep the kids in line and to help educate and correct them when they’ve made mistakes. As any parent has heard many, many times before, the kids will often ask “why?” after you’ve explained things to…

Every now and then you find yourself in a rare situation not knowing exactly what to do. This seems to be the case whenever I see traffic lights out of service. That was the case recently. Drivers seemed to be confused as they ended up sitting at the intersection wondering when it was their…

I recently learned some things from my kids; indirectly. All 4 of my kids are in the scouting movement and will often go to camp. I became a leader when my two young sons first started out with scouts at age five. I will volunteer my time and go to camp with them as a…

I was recently speaking with co-workers when we were discussing driving manners. We included our chat about drivers who park in handicapped reserved parking spaces without permission. What I mean by permission is the permits that are given to those who need it. My father-in-law needs to park there since he has severe difficulty walking….
