Teams are wooing Dwight Howard in an attempt to win his services. He's being offered all sorts of potential 'perks' to sign with particuar teams. Kobe Bryant took a different approach, a more tough love approach. Essentially, let me show you how to win championships.
And if anyone in the league knows how to win championships, it's Kobe Bryant. He has won 5 and played in 7 finals.
"You need to learn how it's done first, and I can teach you here," Bryant told Howard during the Lakers' presentation, witnesses in the room described to Yahoo! Sports.
"You have to learn how it's done," Bryant told Howard, witnesses described. "I know how to do it and I've learned from the best – players who have won multiple times over and over."
I don't know if the Los Angeles Lakers knew Kobe would take the tough love approach. Maybe they did and that is why he wasn't with them for their meeting with Dwight face to face on Tuesday.
"Instead of trying to do things your way, just listen and learn and tweak it, so it fits you," Bryant told him.
The tough lore approach worked with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie when the Denver Broncos pursued him in free agency. It could work for Dwight too.

U.S. attorney timeline/June 12, 2007-present
Summary of events from January-March 11, 2007
In January, 2007, news of the firings spread from local sources like the San Diego Union-Tribune to blogs like TalkingPointsMemo, and finally to the national media. On January 4, 2007, White House Counsel Harriet Miers resigned. About a month later, in February, 2007, Michael Battle, who made the calls firing the Attorneys, announced his resignation as well.
Congress began acting on the issue in January, 2007, with Senator Dianne Feinstein introducing legislation to repeal the revisions to the PATRIOT ACT that took away Congressional power regarding U.S. Attorney appointments by reinstating limited interim terms and Senate approval.
Following the firings public officials who allegedly and illegally contacted U.S Attorneys came under pressure. Senator Domenici initially denied contacting Iglesias, but soon recanted his denial, and said that he did in fact contact Iglesias and regrets doing so. Domenici also hired an attorney. Representative Heather Wilson admitted to calling Iglesias, but denied placing any pressure on him.
The Senate also zeroed in on the case of Tim Griffin, the former Rove aid appointed to succeed Bud Cummins. Following Senate pressure, Griffin said he would not seek Senate confirmation and instead allow his temporary appointment to expire.
In February, 2007, evidence that many of the fired Attorneys had actually received positive reviews prior to their firings came to light. Sampson himself had positively reviewed Iglesias in 2004, and recommended retaining Iglesias. McKay's office had received positive reviews as well, as had four other fired Attorneys' offices. Daniel Bogden pushed back as well, explaining that no "performance-related" issued had ever been identified regarding his office. Around the time of Bogden's pushback it was revealed that prior to his firing he had initiated an investigation into Nevada's newly-elected Republican Governor, Jim Gibbons, for accepting bribes. Similar to Bogden, Carol Lam expanded her investigation immediately prior to her resignation, issuing three subpoenas the day before she resigned.
In early 2007 Congress heard testimony from a number of White House and DOJ officials involved in the firings. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales acknowledged the firings but said that all were performance-related, not political. McNulty testified as well, similarly describing the firings as "performance-related." In a March, 2007, editorial in USA Today, Gonzales called the entire issue an "overblown personnel matter" and said that the attorneys had "simply lost my confidence."
In addition to hearing from Administration officials, Congress also heard testimony from the fired prosecutors themselves, after they were subpoenaed. During the hearings, Cummins said that DOJ officials had "warned him on Feb. 20 that the fired prosecutors should remain quiet about their dismissals." Several of the Attorneys described the threats they received as "obstruction of justice." McKay detailed pressure he had received to conduct investigations directly related to upcoming elections, and that he was "concerned and dismayed" by such contact. The fired prosecutors also explained that when they were fired, they were never informed of any evidence of poor performance related to their firing. Cummins also testified that DOJ official Michael Elston called him on February 20th to say that if the fired prosecutors continued speaking out, the DOJ would have to release negative information about them. Finally, Charlton and Bogden both testified that they were told by DOJ official Bill Mercer that they were being fired to make room for other Republicans to build their resumes.
Following this testimony, in early March, 2007, McNulty met with the Committees and told them that he had "limited knowledge" of the firing process. On March 11, 2007, the White House acknowledged that Karl Rove had passed complaints about some U.S. Attorneys from the White House to the Department of Justice.
January 4, 2007: Harriet Miers resigns
Harriet Miers resigns as White House Counsel, effective January 31, 2007.[1]
January 9, 2007: Legislation to preserve U.S. Attorney independence introduced
On January 9, 2007, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) introduced the Preserving United States Attorney Independence Act of 2007 (S.214) [2]. The Act would repeal the provisions granted to the executive branch in March 2006 allowing the appointment of U.S. Attorneys without term limit. All interim U.S. attorneys are appointed by the Attorney General, without the need for Senate confirmation. The bill would re-instate a 120-day term limit for interim U.S. attorneys, and subsequent appointment authority of the district court to appoint a U.S. Attorney after the 120-day term expired, if no presidential appointee had been confirmed by then.[3]
January 10, 2007: Iglesias asks to use Gonzales as a reference
David Iglesias wrote to Kyle Sampson to ask if he could use the Attorney General as a job reference, to which Sampson responded, "You can list the [Attorney General] as a reference- not a problem. Good luck."[4]
January 11, 2007: Legislation introduced to ensure Senate participation in Attorney selection
"Senators Feinstein, Leahy and Mark Pryor (D-AR) introduced legislation to prevent the Attorney General's office from appointing U.S. Attorneys without seeking confirmation by the Senate. This marked the first public notice of concern with the recent change to the law governing the appointment of U.S. attorneys. The Senators wrote, "It has come to our attention that the Bush Administration is pushing out U.S. Attorneys from across the country under the cloak of secrecy and then appointing indefinite replacements without Senate confirmation."[5]
January 18, 2007: Gonzales testifies, acknowledges firings
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales acknowledged the firings during a January 18, 2007 Senate hearing, but insisted all were for performance reasons, and were in no way inspired by political motives. He stated "What we're trying to do is ensure that for the people in each of these respective districts, we have the very best possible representative for the Department of Justice…I would never, ever make a change in a United States attorney for political reasons or if it would in any way jeopardize an ongoing serious investigation. I just would not do it." [6] "Alberto Gonzales testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
- In response to questioning by Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Gonzales does not deny that his office has asked U.S. Attorneys to resign in the last year. He testifies: 'But that happens in every administration, during different periods for different reasons... Some people should view that as a sign of good management.'
- He also testifies: 'I would never, ever make a change in a United States attorney for political reasons or if it would in any way jeopardize an ongoing serious investigation. I just would not do it.'
- And: 'I am fully committed, as the administration's fully committed, to ensure that, with respect to every United States attorney position in this country, we will have a presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed United States attorney.'"[7]
Early February, 2007: Battle, who made firing calls, resigned
The Justice Department official who made the calls firing all prosecutors, Michael Battle, the Justice Department official who made the calls to actually fire the prosecutors, resigned.[8]
The Senate Judiciary Committee met with the Justice Department about the firings, and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty to the Committee that that other than Bud Cummins, the firings were "performance-related."[9]
February 8, 2007: Senate zeros in on Tim Griffin
Note: includes some extensive Griffin bio, but there's even more on his page
On March 28, 2007, Mary Lu Carnevale wrote in the Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire: "Today's email release from the Justice Department shows that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid along with Sens. Charles Schumer, Dick Durbin and Patty Murray zeroed in on the Griffin case in a Feb. 8 [2007] letter to embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales ... Among the questions: 'Why was Bud Cummins (bio) told to resign in June of 2006, when the other dismissed officials were told in December of 2006? Was the reason to give the replacement, Tim Griffin, a chance to become ensconced at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arkansas before making the appointment?'," Carnevale wrote.
The answer comes from the preceding: Although Griffin was still on active duty, serving in Iraq, he was already in play for the Arkansas post. This is clearly indicated by both the June 14, 2006, email cited above and the anonymously posted August 30, 2006, speculative blog entry at The Truth In Arkansas Politics.
June and July 2006 emails between Griffin and Goodling clearly show how Griffin's pre-nomination process was fast-tracked—or, as Griffin put it in a July 5, 2006, email (page 10) to Goodling, "movement on my front."
Griffin also wrote (page 10) "i havent said a thing to Bud Cummins." Goodling's response (page 11) was to tell Griffin "WHCO also asked me to remind you to continue to keep this close hold." "WHCO" was the White House Counsel's Office, which at the time was Harriet E. Miers.
Goodling emailed (page 18) Kyle Sampson on August 8, 2006, regarding a U.S. Senate confirmation problem and where to put Griffin before "we install him in Arkansas."
On August 24, 2006, Sean Murphy sent an email to Goodling and others which included the text (page 20) of an Arkansas Times article about Cummins' departure "in the next few 'weeks or months', but almost certainly by the end of the year" and which speculated on Cummins' successor. Griffin's name was discussed by the Times, citing "informed sources".
The article states that Griffin's "political work would likely get more attention - and Democratic opposition - in the Senate confirmation process" and that he would "have to endure some questioning about his role in massive Republican projects in Florida and elsewhere by which Republicans challenged tens of thousands of absentee votes. Coincidentally, many of those challenged votes were concentrated in black precincts."
On August 30, 2006, Goodling emailed (page 40) Scott Jennings et al. to inform them that the plan was to "bring Tim over to DOJ around Sept. 25, when he finishes at the Army ..." The plan (page 42) to appoint Griffin was well-timed, as he would complete active duty on September 25th, work a day at the White House, and then be appointed to the Justice Department on the 27th.
This was confirmed on September 8, 2006, when Sherry Mahoney, Justice Management Division, sent Goodling an email (page 43) stating that Griffin would "Work at WH on tues 26th and start at doj on wed 27th." Goodling responded (page 44) "Yes, one day here is enough."
On September 13, 2006, Goodling received an email (page 47) informing her that Griffin had been cleared by security for permanent status as "Counselor to the Assistant Attorney General DJES" with a salary of $142,900.
Apparently there was a question as to what Griffin's title "DJES" meant, as Goodling sent an email (page 48) September 13, 2006, in which she wrote "I have no idea what it stands for, but he's Counselor to the CRIM AAG technically, but will be detailed to the USAO in Arkansas after EOD'ing."
On September 13, 2006, Kyle Sampson emailed (page 53) Goodling a list he planned to send to Harriet Miers regarding the U.S. attorneys. Under section IV entitled "USA in the Process of Being Pushed Out" was "E.D. Ark. (Bud Cummins)."
Sampson also wrote (page 53) "I strongly recommend that, as a matter of policy, we utilize the new statutory provisions that authorize the AG to make USA appointments. ... By not going the PAS route, we can give far less deference to home-State Senators and thereby get (1) our preferred person appointed and (2) do it far faster and more efficiently, at less cost to the White House."
On September 27, 2006, Mahoney emailed (page 59) Goodling that Griffin was completing his paperwork "and advised us that he will be detailed immediately to a position in Arkansas."
On December 16, 2006, Aaron Sadler of the Arkansas News Bureau wrote that Griffin, a "former Republican political operative and top aide to President Bush was named late Friday [December 15, 2006] as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas", while Congress was on recess. Cummins was to resign the following Wednesday, December 20, 2006.
U.S. Attorney for Nevada Daniel Bogden said that "To this date, no one from the department has previously identified any issues with my performance or the performance of my office."[10]
February 9, 2007: Fired Attorney said his office had received positive reviews
U.S. Attorney for Seattle John McKay said that his office received positive reviews and that the Justice Department's argument citing "performance related" reasons for his dismissal is "unfair."[11]
February 13, 2007: At least five fired Attorneys had received positive reviews
McClatchy Newspapers reported that at least five of the fired prosecutors "received positive job evaluations before they were ordered to step down."[12]
February 14, 2007: Lam brings indictments the day before she resigns
The day before Lam left her position she brought multiple indictments on felony charges against Foggo and Wilkes. The investigation into Jerry Lewis is ongoing. The FBI was investigating potential criminal wrongdoing on the part of Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA) at the time of Lam's departure.[13] Lam would have been in charge of leading the investigation at the Attorney's office had she not been fired.
February 15, 2007: Bogden investigates Rep. Gibbons
On February 15, 2007, the Wall Street Journal reported that Daniel Bogden was investigating the newly elected Governor of Nevada, former-Rep. Jim Gibbons (R-NV), for allegedly accepting unreported gifts and/or payments from a campaign contributor and earmark recipient, Warren Trepp. The investigation examined the relationship between the former congressman and Trepp between the years 1997-2007). The Journal did not report when the investigation was opened. Bogden was since removed from his position as U.S. Attorney.[14][15]
February 16, 2007: Griffin says he won't seek Senate confirmation
Timothy Griffin announced that he would not attempt to garner Senate confirmation: "To submit my name to the Senate would be like volunteering to stand in front of a firing squad in the middle of a three-ring circus."[16]
February 20, 2007: Elston explains Deparment's media strategy
"Michael Elston contacts U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins (AR). Cummins describes the conversation in an email to the other fired U.S. attorneys about an hour after the call: The essence of his message was that they feel like they are taking unnecessary flak to avoid trashing each of us specifically or further, but if they feel like any of us intend to continue to offer quotes to the press, or organize behind the scenes congressional pressure, then they would feel forced to somehow pull their gloves off and offer public criticisms to defend their actions more fully."[17]
March 1 and March 5, 2007: Subpoenas issued to fired prosecutors
On March 1, 2007, the House Judiciary Committee issued subpoenas to four of the fired prosecutors (California's Southern District's Carol Lam, New Mexico's David Iglesias, Arkansas' Eastern District's H.E. "Bud" Cummins, and Washington's Western District's John McKay). On March 5, additional subpoenas were issued to Daniel Bogden of Nevada and Paul Charlton of Arizona to testify before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law. That week, the original four voluntarily chose to also testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. [18]
March 1, 2007: Domenici denies contacting Iglesias
Senator Domenici, when asked to respond to recent statements made by David Iglesias regarding pressure from unnamed members of Congress, responded "I have no idea what he's talking about."[19]
March 4, 2007: Domenici acknowledges, regrets, calling Iglesias
Senator Domenici released a statement acknowledging that he called Iglesias, and saying that he regrets doing so.[20]
March 5, 2007: Justice employee who made firing calls resigns
On March 5, 2007, Michael Battle, the executive director of the Executive Office for United States attorneys, resigned. Battle had personally made the calls firing several of the attorneys on December 7, 2006. [21]
March 5, 2007: House subpoenas additional fired attorneys
The House Judiciary Committee issued additional subpoenas to two other fired attorneys. [22]
March 5, 2007: Rep. Wilson acknowledges calling Iglesias, denies pressure
Representative Heather Wilson acknowledged that she called Iglesias, but denied pressuring him to speed up his investigations.[23]
March 6, 2007: Hearings held, fired Attorneys testify
Hearings were held in which the fired attorneys testified. During the March 6 testimony, former Arkansas attorney Bud Cummins testified to Congress (both the House and Senate) that he received threats from a senior Justice Department official that "warned him on Feb. 20 that the fired prosecutors should remain quiet about their dismissals." [24] Cummins described the threats in an email to the other US Attorneys involved [25]. According to several of the fired U.S. Attorneys, this action amounts to "obstruction of justice." [26]
During the March 6 testimony, fired Washington attorney John McKay said that Rep. Doc Hastings' (R-Wash) senior staffer, Ed Cassidy, called him to inquire about whether or not any investigations were underway regarding voter fraud in the hotly-contested Washington gubernatorial race in 2004 (won by Democrat Christine Gregoire). [27]
During the call, McKay reminded Cassidy that calling to recommend a federal investigation would be improper. According to McKay, Cassidy "agreed it would be improper" and ended the call. McKay immediately told his staff about the call and agreed with them that "I had stopped Mr. Cassidy from doing anything improper." He continued, however, that he "was concerned and dismayed by the call." [28]
Also during his testimony, McKay said that when he made a bid to be a federal judge in 2006, he was asked by former White House counsel Harriet Miers and deputy counsel William Kelley to explain "criticism that (he) mishandled the 2004 governor's election." [29]
Additional hearing recap
"The New York Times reports that the former federal prosecutor in Maryland, Thomas M. DiBiagio, says that he was forced out in early 2005 because of political pressure stemming from public corruption investigations involving associates of the state's Republican governor.
- Representative Doc Hastings releases a statement saying, 'Neither I nor any member of my staff - past or present - ever contacted anyone at the White House or the Department of Justice about whether John McKay should be removed as U.S. attorney or whether he was qualified to be a federal judge.'
- U.S. Attorneys Daniel Bodgen (NV), Paul Charlton (AZ), Bud Cummins (AR), David Iglesias (NM), Carol Lam (CA), John McKay (WA), and Justice Department official William Moschella testify before Congress. All the fired prosecutors testify that they were never told they were being asked to step down because they performed poorly. Moschella admits that none of the prosecutors were told or warned about the supposed deficiencies in their performances before they were asked to step down.
- Iglesias testifies that Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) called to question him about his office's corruption investigation of a prominent state Democrat shortly before the 2006 election.
- McKay testifies that Rep. Doc Hastings' (R-WA) chief of staff called him after the 2004 election to ask whether his office was investigating allegations of Democratic voter fraud.
- Cummins testifes that DoJ official Michael Elston called him on February 20th to say that if the fired prosecutors continued speaking out, the DoJ would have to release negative information about them.
- Charlton and Bogden both testify that they were told by DoJ official Bill Mercer that they were being fired to make room for another Republican to build his/her resume."[30]
March 7, 2007: Domenici hires attorney
On March 7, 2007, Domenici hired Lee Blalack, formerly an attorney for former Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-Calif.), as his legal counsel. [31]

A 41-year-old Brandon man is in jail as a suspect in a cold case murder investigation out of Montana.
Thomas Jaracaeski was arrested in Sioux Falls last night and according to court papers he killed a man following a relationship gone bad.
The crime dates back to 1996.
According to court papers, Jaraczeski was distraught and shot and killed veterinarian Dr. Brian Rein who was dating Jaraczeski's ex-girlfriend, Ann Wishman.
Authorities say Wishman and Rein had been talking to one another while Jaraczeski and Wishman were still living together.
Rein had left a message on the answering machine for Wishman to call him. Jaraczeski listened to the message and asked Wishman, "What the hell is going on?"
Jaraczeski said he knew right then she must have cheated on him.
Court papers say Jaraczeski was devastated. He told investigators "I was really hurt because it was almost like we were married."
Shortly after their breakup, Jaraczeski began to stalk Wishman and Rein. That was in June of 1996.
A month later, Rein was found dead on the kitchen floor of his trailer house with his .357 Magnum near his left hand with two gunshot wounds to his right arm and one gunshot wound to his chest.
Jaraczeski's is in the Minnehaha County jail with bond set at $500,000.

Advisor's Welcome
At SCC we want to celebrate your achievements and give you opportunities to develop your leadership skills while giving back to the community. As advisors for the Beta Epsilon Iota Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), we hope you'll strive to join the ranks of fellow students who live out the mission of PTK.
Phi Theta Kappa's mission is two-fold:
- Recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students
- Provide opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming
If you achieve a 3.6 cumulative gpa or higher in at least 15 credits, you will be invited into our community of scholars.
In addition to the opportunity for community service and leadership development, you will enjoy a number of advantages by joining PTK. For example, you will be eligible to compete for 37 million dollars in scholarships available exclusively to PTK members.
Other advantages include letters of recommendation for transfer and employment, honor stoles to wear at graduation, and the opportunity to give back to your school and community. These are just a few of the benefits that are available to you as a scholar from 900 two-year colleges across the United States and Canada.
We look forward to serving with you, so work hard and make it happen!
- Rob Vogel and Angela Finnie
Phi Theta Kappa FAQ
Q. What is Phi Theta Kappa?
A. Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for two-year colleges and universities. Our chapter is Beta Epsilon Iota, and we are recognized as a distinguished chapter officer team in the Greater Northwest Region, which spans five states and Alberta, Canada.
With over 1,200 chapters and two million members worldwide, Phi Theta Kappa awarded more than 37 million in scholarships last year.
Q. What do I have to do to join?
A. If you have at least a 3.6 cumulative gpa (meaning your overall grade point average) then you are eligible to join.
Q. What are the expectations once I join Phi Theta Kappa?
A. Because it is an honor society and you have earned your right to be a member by virtue of your hard work and grades, you may join outright by paying the $75 membership fee.
There is no further screening process. Please participate in service projects to the extent your life allows. We have many students juggling jobs, families, and school who make time for service through Phi Theta Kappa and find the experience enhances their resumes and strengthens their connections on campus. It also enhances your ability compete for local, national, and international scholarships.
You also will have access to online leadership development and a worldwide network for college searches, scholarships, and networking.
You can stay connected to SCC members online. Through ANGEL, you can volunteer for service opportunities, hear about scholarships, and sign up for workshops.
Q. I also received an invitation letter to join a group called NSLS. They also charge $75. What's the difference?
A. NSLS stands for National Society for Leadership and Success. It is a leadership organization that helps students develop leadership skills. The gpa cutoff for NSLS is 3.3. Phi Theta Kappa's cutoff is 3.6, and Phi Theta Kappa is the original honor society founded by college presidents and sanctioned by the American Association of Community Colleges.
Students may join both groups if they have the time and the money.
Q. How do I get transfer scholarships through Phi Theta Kappa?
A. The Common Application, used by over 400 colleges and universities, will automatically advance you into the running for scholarships just for being a Phi Theta Kappa member.
Local options for Phi Theta Kappa scholarships include Gonzaga and Eastern. You may also apply for scholarships specifically for PTK members by registering at my.ptk.org once you are a member.
PTK-specific scholarships are competitive. Your chances are greatly enhanced by being an active member at the local level, as well as the regional and international arena.
Q. What if I don't plan to transfer to a four-year school? What good is it to join?
A. Employers love to see Phi Theta Kappa honor society membership on resumes regardless of the degree because it is a recognized benchmark for academic success. They also know members are active in leadership, service, and scholarship.
And because there is an increasing demand for technically trained students with bachelor's degrees, most students will work toward a bachelor's in their lifetime. Scholarships become a viable way to pay for school.
Q. When is the best time to join?
A. It is ideal to join if you are still in your first year of studies at SCC, so you have at least another year available for community service, applying for scholarships, and educational planning.
In addition, you could run for office to serve in an upcoming term as president, vice president of scholarship, vice president of service, vice president of leadership, vice president of fellowship, secretary/communication officer, or treasurer.
Q. Who can I contact for more information?
A. Email chapter advisors Rob Vogel at email@example.com, or Angela Finnie at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pretty fun arete just to the left of Double Clutch and Black Rib. The first half of the climb has a couple of thin sections broken up by good rests, then climb becomes more sustained as you get closer to the top. It's a fun climb for the grade.
Arete left of Double Clutch.
TR. A lead would probably be exciting, but I'm sure it's been done.

A few days ago, Forbes published this article online, "7 Crippling Parenting Behaviors That Keep Children From Growing Into Leaders." The article notes, "These behaviors keep children from becoming leaders of their own lives and the world's enterprises." I very much appreciated the phrase "leaders of their own lives," because I think that kind of personal-path leadership is just as important as professional-path leadership.
Little G is just 2, and like a lot of parents, what I wish for my daughter is for her to have a happy and healthy life. A cozy home; people that you love, and that love you back; something you enjoy doing; a sense of wonder; an adventure every now and then. But even though advising Little G to be the next Hillary Clinton or Maria Sharapova is *not* part of my parenting plan, I *do* want to encourage her to be confident in herself, yet sensitive to the world around her.
I LOVED this line from Parenting Behavior to Avoid No. 5: We don't share our past mistakes: "Because we're not the only influence on our kids, we must be the best influence." This REALLY resonates with me. Ever since Little G began attending preschool, I've become more and more aware that as she journeys along in her life, she'll see things that she doesn't necessarily see at home.
A 2013 study from the University of Maryland confirms that peer groups at school influence children, and reports that this influence can begin as early as age 9. A positive note, along with a caveat: "Even at this earlier age, children show moral independence and will stand up to the group … But it is also a setting where the seeds of group prejudices can develop, if not checked."
Regarding the 5th parenting behavior to avoid, Forbes recommends, "Share with them the relevant mistakes you made when you were their age in a way that helps them learn to make good choices." Luckily for Little G, I have a surplus of mistakes to choose from for these future conversations.
One more good thought from Parenting Behavior to Avoid No. 7: We don't practice what we preach: "As parents, it is our responsibility to model the life we want our children to live." Man, I hear this one. For example, there's a reason why I don't watch as much TV as I used to, and it's not because I don't like prime-time sitcoms as much as the next American. The reason is Little G, and through my actions, I'm trying to encourage her to be active and present in her everyday life.
What do you think about this Forbes article? Do you agree or disagree with these parenting behaviors to avoid?
