Do you know what is affecting your children? Trends Youth Are Facing
September 9, 2009
A long time ago, I was a stockbroker. In those days, I constantly paid attention to various fundamentals and influences on the market. Why…because it was critical to my ability to invest my clients’ assets into the proper investments and answer questions that they might have. Beyond that, I recognized there were a lot of influences on the market and to do a good job, I had to know what was going on to meet my clients’ varying needs. Is it possible to stay ahead of trends youth today...

July 11, 2009
Nathan was changing. He was becoming increasingly irritable, bored, sad, and just plain angry. When his mother would ask what was wrong, he'd snap, "I'm just having a bad day." For a few months Nathan's mother assumed that the pressures of school and just being a young teen were the cause of her son's moods swings.
