Divorce and anger go hand in hand. Letting go of anger toward your ex-spouse may be one of most difficult hurdles you’ve every faced. But face it you must!

Do you have a right to be angry? Yes! The more important question is: “What benefits are you getting from continuing to carry that anger?” Sure there are the comforting fantasies of harm coming to your ex. But in reality that wouldn’t be all that great either because it would hurt your children.

If your spouse initiated the divorce, there are the hopes that they end up realizing what they’ve lost and end up miserable in the future. Again, this doesn’t bode well for your children.

An argument with a teenage girl can leave a parent exhausted and considering the benefits of boarding school. Girls by nature tend to be dramatic and complicated. They often lose their ability to adequately communicate when they are angry and can become irrational. These traits, while not indicative of every teenage girl in the world, are fairly common among most teenage girls. If your daughter can argue reasonably and without turning into someone you simply can’t recognize, then consider yourself extraordinarily blessed. If your daughter reverts into an alternate personality and can’t seem to string together basic logical reasoning, you can consider yourself just an average family.

For many thousands of years, dolls have been made to look like small people, and children have been attracted to them. When children play with dolls, the dolls become very real to them. Sometimes they represent the child, and sometimes they become storybook characters. Dolls as playthings give children an opportunity to be in charge, to make decisions, to give and receive love, and to practice what they have learned from observing adults. But dolls have not always been playthings.

Ok, you have decided to home school your children, but you still aren’t certain how you should begin the process. The first step will be setting up your house or at least a section of it to be used as a classroom. Those who are lucky enough to have an extra room to set up separately can just close the door after school is finished, and the school mess disappears. School is closed!!
