1. Favorite Parenting Article - "Distracted by the Mirror", by Tim Elmore - (via Growing Leaders)

Narcissism is on the rise in kids today. One study found that 30% of young people were classified as narcissistic, according to a widely accepted psychological test. That number has doubled in the last thirty years.

2. Favorite "Make Me Want to Punch Advertisers in the Face" Article -  

"Underwear, Discernment, and Truly Bright Young Things" - (via The Gospel Coalition)

This article is a response to the blanant targetting of "tween" girls by Victoria's Secret's Bright Young Things Line:

Paul demonstrates that it is necessary for parents to put legs to their prayers by actively teaching discernment to their children. This training, of course, can only attain its ultimate purpose when a heart really wants righteousness, a product of saving faith alone. But regardless of a child's spiritual condition, parents must lay a framework for discerning truth from error.
