Raising Boys and Raising Girls

It has been a little quiet on the blog lately, but that doesn't mean that parenting hasn't been going on. My daughter has been feeling her oats this week, and I have been getting glimpses of what life might be like when she is 15. I am going to have my hands full...

I grew up in the middle of two brothers, and now that I am single mother raising a daughter, I can attest to the fact that boys and girls are like apples and oranges. The debate continues on which gender is harder to raise. I have my ideas, but I would love to hear yours.

If you are a single mother, raising a son, you might want to take a look at this article Raising Confident Sons Who Have Respect For Others. It is well written, thoughtful and explores the positive things mothers can do to raise their sons when a man is absent. Check it out.

Stay tuned for a brand new audio segment to be launched soon. I will be featuring interviews from a kid's perspective, and will have a Q&A forum. There is nothing like asking a kid what makes a great parent, the answers will make you laugh and maybe even make you cry.

If you have questions you would like to add, feel free to leave them here.
