If your parents pandered to your every need, chances are you'll do the same with your kids. Dare to break the pattern.

Last year, kids were willing to negotiate with their parents, agreeing to less clothing and outright shunning some things to get what they wanted in an electronic item.

As kids approach puberty, parents should talk about sex and set up the right kinds of guidelines for social interaction.

If kids are doing these things by themselves, they're not following the rules set by their parents and they don't know who to trust on the internet, then that's quite a worrying position and one we need to deal with. The next step is to work out what it all means and where we go next.

My mom and her parents had to leave because her brother had left a couple of years before and the government was really upset. They took away both my grandparents' jobs, so they couldn't make a living. They had to sell all their things. They weren't allowed to take more than $500 out of the country.

Every individual face, a grandmother or grandchild or parents and their two kids, they're all there waving at you and they've all come to see you, it's as simple as that. They're not there simply by chance and that's very, very humbling.
