How to determine what is 'normal' behavior and how to facilitate equilibrium in the household are subjects of this article. An understanding of the purpose of adolescence is necessary for the definition of 'normalcy.' In essence, the teen era is the mirror image of toddlerhood. ...
TEENS WITH PROBLEMS: How to Write a Home Rules Contract NOTE: For the safety of everybody involved, police should be called for ALL violent episodes that occur on the part of the teen with the perceived intent of injuring a family member or destroying property that belongs to other family members. Violence that has no consequences will continue to escalate and could eventually result in a serious incident, so this type of behavior needs to be halted immediately by allowing the teen to experience serious consequences for the violent behavior (police, charges and possible court date).

At ALA Ministries our students are restored to academic success, restored to a life of principled values, and to the Christ-like character that once was abundant in his/her life.
There is no more important unit that God has created and ordained than the “Christ-centered” family. It is within the Christian home that we learn to be Godly people. God has designed the family so that in it, we could acquire every foundational thing we need in regard to emotional and spiritual growth. We learn to interact with others in a Godly fashion through our interactions with members of our immediate family, as well as our church family. We acquire Biblical standards of living through our Christian upbringing. We learn how to worship God and to give Him all the glory through our Christian rearing. Our happiness ...
Abstinence Promotion and Teen Family Planning: The Misguided Drive The cornerstone of the Bush administration's approach to reducing teen pregnancy—and a key component of its effort to promote a conservative moral and religious agenda—is to dramatically increase funding for abstinence-only education. The central argument driving this effort is that there should be "parity" between what the federal government spends on providing contraceptive services to teenagers and what it spends on educational efforts that exclusively promote abstinence outside of marriage and prohibit discussion of contraception. Since the federal government allegedly spends $135 million annually on contraceptive services ...
This proposed funding increase boosts the prospects of conservatives seeking to defend the abstinence-only education program created through the 1996 welfare reform law, which is up for reauthorization this year. At the same time, it strengthens their hands to increase funding for two lesser-known, newer programs that also follow the very restrictive brand of abstinence-only education first established in 1996. These two programs account for why overall funding for abstinence-only education is now twice what was originally contemplated by the 1996 law, and the president's recent budget announcement ...
