					<description><![CDATA[One of the earliest and most important things we figured out was that in parenting, as in life, you generally hit what you’re aiming for. This bit of wisdom must be tempered of course by the inconvenient fact that children sometimes have the tendency to develop trajectories of their own.  While this can be most &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://raisingmen.net/2013/12/raising-men-2/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you want to build something that lasts, you have to have a proper foundation. Building a family works the same way.  If you can start off with a solid foundation the chances are better (though not guaranteed) that whatever you end up building on top of it will be more secure. Start out shaky &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://raisingmen.net/2013/12/the-other-side-of-experience/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The foundation for our fledgling family was built on top of two already-solid family traditions. Karen grew up the daughter of missionaries in South America, and I was raised in a Navy family. We both grew up surrounded by faith, hope, and lots of love. Our paths first crossed in El Paso, Texas. Karen was &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://raisingmen.net/2013/12/respect/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Parenting has a lot to do with setting boundaries. In fact, two of parenting’s biggest challenges are figuring out where to set the boundaries for our kids and deciding what the consequences of their crossing them will be. Some of those decisions are easy. Telling our boys they shouldn’t stick dinner knives into the wall &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://raisingmen.net/2013/12/many-choices/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you’re honest, you’ll have to admit that passing gas can be pretty funny. Oh sure, it’s rude and bad manners and all of that, but even as an adult, in the right circumstances, you know it still makes you snicker. In a house full of boys it’s an art form.

					<description><![CDATA[The arrival of each new child in a family is a blessing; unless you happen to be one of the kids who already staked a claim in that territory. Claim jumping is serious business. It’s hard not to feel a little displaced when everyone’s so focused on the new guy.

					<description><![CDATA[Reputation is a fickle thing. A young man of good character can successfully navigate the uncertain waters of life for years, only to have a single moment of bad judgment erase all the progress he has made. The speed of the descent from “fine young man” and pats on the back, to sidelong glances and &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://raisingmen.net/2013/12/fame/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have alluded to some of our philosophies on discipline in previous posts. Perhaps it’s time to address the issue more directly. Deciding how to discipline our children is a highly personal matter. Most of us bring a lot of what we know about the matter from our childhood experiences.

					<description><![CDATA[Like so many other topics in life the subject of money eventually catches our kids’ attention. After years spent riding in the seat of a shopping cart they’ve seen a magical process take place, again and again. Apparently you can walk into a store and take anything you want, as long as you give the &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://raisingmen.net/2013/12/allowance/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Establishing a routine at bedtime is good business. We started the practice when our boys were still infants and carried it on until they started going to bed later than we did. No matter what else was going on we tried to keep to our routine of taking baths, wrestling, reading books, praying together, and &#8230; <a class="read-excerpt" href="http://raisingmen.net/2013/12/wrestle-time/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>
