		<description><![CDATA[Parenting is the most difficult &#8216;job&#8217; in the world. The process lasts longer than most modern careers. It requires a larger investment &#8211; in time and money &#8211; than just about any other activity.

		<description><![CDATA[Most child development professionals, following a study by Thomas and Chess in the 1950s, hold that temperament is inborn. Personality, by contrast, is influenced by environment and self-development.
The characteristics of temperament &#8211; nine categories, including Activity Level, Sensitivity, Adaptability, and others &#8211; are sometimes regarded by parents as a source of frustration, since they are [...]]]></description>

Much of that dilemma has been addressed in recent decades by recognizing that there is, in fact, a third alternative. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In parenting circles, the word &#8216;punishment&#8217; often brings to mind &#8216;corporeal punishment&#8217; &#8211; spanking, slapping or other forms of physical action.
