		<description><![CDATA[What is Allowance? Why is it often defined as handing money over to kids on a weekly basis? I define allowance differently. I recommend allowance only when a child needs money for reasonable things (e.g., subway fare&#8230; lunch money&#8230; a special outing with friends if they&#8217;ve been well behaved, etc).

		<description><![CDATA[Can you raise boys without raising your voice? Absolutely. Not only is it better for your blood pressure&#8230; speaking with calm authority and with purpose works better. Raising your voice only makes you look powerless. Truth is, boys don&#8217;t make great eye contact, and in general, also don&#8217;t pick up on our spoken words as easily. [...]]]></description>
