So we want kids to have self-esteem, to be successful, at least according to their own definition of what that means, but we don’t want to encourage narcissism. How do we do that?
"Maybe Valentine's Day is a good time to re-evaluate your relationship with your spouse, and, more importantly, what your relationship looks like from the point of view of your children."
"Women have been encouraged to strengthen their male qualities in order to succeed. Now men will be asked to strengthen their female qualities. Either the future is rosy for my mama’s boy or I will read the entire collected works of Freud."
Truth, rules, responsible citizenship. Does any of it make a difference to a healthy community? Virginia of the Fernie Child Care Society discusses this in this month's column.
"At times, the penny drops, and we note that the behaviours we do not like in our children are really behaviours that we do not like in ourselves. Being kinder to ourselves will allow us to be kinder with our children."
How can we instill a sense of community in the younger generation, and ensure they have a good sense of value? Virginia Robinson gives us her opinion in this month's column.
Clearly, in order to protect my children from a financial crisis of their own making, something needs to be done. So how, and when, do you go about teaching your children the value of money?

Wow, take a look at the busy and impressive lineup Shred Kelly has planned this summer! And it all starts in just a few weeks. We are stoked to see Fernie's favourite band at Wapiti this August.
