Have I ever discussed my cat? She’s my beloved tabby cat and while she is a treasured member of the family, she does have a bit of an escape problem.

Or, of course, if someone isn’t watching, she’ll slip through the front door before you can blink. She’s an indoor cat with an outdoor streak. No matter how many grass plants I purchase for her, it just doesn’t seem to matter. So I knew I had to find another solution that could allow her to enjoy the outdoors.

Still, I wanted to continue with this series, and talk about how to teach patience to kids. Why? Because it’s important when it comes to raising kids with character. And goes along well with my existing advice and tips for modern day parents. Kids are not the most understanding of beings. They don’t have the capacity in most cases.

And is one method more effective than others? 3 Ways to Get Your Family On Board with Healthy Eating Have you ever found yourself preparing different meals for each member of the family?
