Intact or Circumcision

Intact or Circumcision

Why do people get so upset when you mention Circumcision.

This show is just about educating on different subjects, and so the subject of circumcision has to be one of them.
Let’s stop pointing fingers and get down to what is important, and that is parenting to the best of our ability.

I don’t care if you did, or did not circumcise your son, it is your business, not mine!!
No shaming allowed!

Even though my guest speaker is very clear in her opinion, she doesn’t believe in shaming either way.

So let’s get a discussion going. Why do you think you should or should not circumcise?  Both of my guest speakers are willing to answer your questions and or give reasons for why they have made statements on these videos, so please leave comments.

Or if you believe the opposite of these guests, please tell us why and if you are an expert on the subject, we would love to have you on the show.   Leave your comments and contact info and I will contact you as soon as I can.

Allowance. Yes or No?

Allowance. Yes or No?

Do you give your children Allowance?
If so, why?
If not, why not?

Do you think it teaches them to be responsible, or does it allow them to assume they should get paid for anything they do?

Adopt, New First Choice / Randy

Adopt, New First Choice / Randy

Adoption is such a wonderful thing. I know so many who chose to adopt and not because they couldn’t have any of their own, but because their hearts are just two sizes bigger than most.  They are amazing.

Adoption might become your ‘first choice’, once you watch this video.

If you have questions and or would just like to tell us what you are going through, please comment below.

SPORTS, how important is it for a child’s development Randy

SPORTS, how important is it for a child’s development Randy

I couldn’t make my children interested in sports. We made them take swimming as that to me is a life survivor skill, more than a sport.
We encouraged them to at least try something, but nothing ever enticed them and I never pushed it too hard because of cost and time. Having 4 I was not sure how I was going to swing them all in different sports.

Hindsight is great and if you believe in learning from other people’s mistakes, then learn from mine. Get your kids in some kind of sports. It doesn’t have to be a big-time league, in fact, it rarely should be pressure-filled. It should be fun.

If you don’t have your children in sports, you should consider getting them enrolled, and if money is an issue please check out this incredible charity.
If you anything you can donate to this amazing charity, such as money, time or sports equipment, please give them a call.
