		<description><![CDATA[As a mother of three young children, I quickly learned the power of positive reinforcement. The best way to get your kid to continue doing the things you want them to do is to catch them doing it and praise them for their efforts. They soak up the attention like a sponge!

Well, I’m sure this isn’t a true gender difference, just a personality difference. Many people are just more comfortable to “go it alone” for a variety of reasons – [...]]]></description>
