Parenting techniques that may not work

Sometimes the art of dodging discipline can work. Ask my youngest daughter. She’s an expert.

I’m getting older as a father, edging toward my mid-40s. The best thing? I have three children who love me… and want to race with me down the beach.

There are dozens of tips on how to fly with kids on an airplane, how to keep them cool. It can get stressful. But it’s better than flying alone.

We had a plan to teach our three children responsibility and self-reliance. But somehow things didn’t work out as hoped.
