by Ronald A. Rowe July 23rd, 2010| Elementary, Product reviews
Tiny Titans is a monthly comic book published by DC Comics.  It was recently awarded the Harvey Award for Best Children's Comic, and with good reason.  Tiny Titans succeeds where so many other early education tools fail: kids want to read it.

Chores: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. July 21st, 2010| Teen Perspective, Teens

High Hopes and Misconceptions

by Joe Lawrence July 19th, 2010| Infants/Toddlers
"Our daughter will never take a pacifier!"  "There is NO way she will sleep in the same bed as us."  "I don't care, I will just let him cry himself to sleep."  These are all phrases that I have said or have heard a close friend of mine say.

by Michele July 14th, 2010| Elementary
It's the fourth week of summer vacation, and the kids are enjoying the leisurely pace.  There's no reason to rush through the morning routine and no need to keep a strict handle on bedtimes.  With no homework and no school, each day finds its own rhythm, typically with a

Independence Day

by Ronald A. Rowe July 5th, 2010| Elementary

by Ronald A. Rowe July 2nd, 2010| Product reviews
One of the hardest things that every parent has to do is watch our children suffer through illness.  It is unavoidable, but that doesn't mean we have to like it.  Kids get sick and, more often than not, it happens in the wee hours of the night.

Why Is She Crying?!

by Joe Lawrence June 30th, 2010| Infants/Toddlers
I hear the piercing screams of my daughter through the speaker of her monitor.  She is sitting up in her crib, and something is really bothering her.  What can it be?

This happens a couple of nights a month for us.  The moment we go in there and hold her,
