Head Lice – Common and Curable

by Lori Sciame April 22nd, 2011| Elementary
Several years ago, my child introduced me to a new "friend." This friend's name? Pediculosis, a.k.a. head lice. I must admit, I was taken aback. I never had head lice as a child, and I don't remember any friends having it either.

Those “Help!” Moments

by Jacob P. April 20th, 2011| Teen Perspective
As I have mentioned in many other articles, I babysit as a way to earn money to do the things I do.  In several years of babysitting, nothing bad has happened while watching the kids.  Last weekend, while watching my cousins, one of them vomited during the night.  So,

by T Akery April 18th, 2011| Preschool
There is a difference between average preschools and excellent preschools. It can be hard to determine the difference by looks alone.

Wooden Building Blocks

by T Akery April 15th, 2011| Preschool, Product reviews
The fascination of building often starts at an early age as toys are often piled on top of each other and then destroyed in the next minute. The beauty of wooden building blocks is that they last quite a long time and can withstand the destructive power unleashed upon

Kid’s Sports: Teen Perspective

by Louise April 14th, 2011| Teen Perspective
I was recently reminiscing about the sports I was involved in as a younger kid. I only realized how many there were after formally writing out the list: dance (tap and ballet), soccer, gymnastics, running, skiing, swimming, basketball, softball, and volleyball. It may sound like I was all over

Kindergarten Readiness

by Ronald A. Rowe April 13th, 2011| Elementary
Things sure have changed when it comes to the expectations on incoming kindergartners. And I don't mean from the time I was in kindergarten back in the Pre-Cambrian Era. I mean since my first son hit the elementary age five years ago. Even as recently as that, kindergartners came

Toilet Training Testimonial

by Lori Sciame April 11th, 2011| Infants/Toddlers
Raising three children presented many challenges, including the task of potty training. When I look back at that particular chore, the memory of advice given to me by my son's doctor still makes me smile.

The advice came when my son was almost three and still showed no interest

Travel by Airplane: Teen’s Perspective

by Jacob P. April 6th, 2011| Teen Perspective
As I type this, I am sitting in terminal B at Baltimore-Washington Airport in Maryland, waiting to fly back to the lovely, frigid state of New Hampshire.  We (my family) are finishing up a whirlwind trip to visit my step-siblings and to visit Loyola University in Baltimore.  At Loyola,

Avoiding “Hotel” Syndrome in Children of Divorce

by Lori Sciame April 4th, 2011| Elementary
When you check into a hotel you expect to relax. You want to be pampered.

Make the bed? No way! Clean the bathroom? That's the maid's job! But sometimes, children of divorce begin to treat your home in a similar manner - like they are

Caution – Dog Bites May Be Ahead!

by Lori Sciame April 1st, 2011| Elementary
Woof!

Children love dogs and dogs love children. Long walks, playing "catch," and cuddling are just a few of the fun activities kids and dogs can share. Yet, with spring comes a hazard that parents of elementary age children may forget - dog bites.

Kids and Cursing

by Ronald A. Rowe March 30th, 2011| Elementary
Is cursing really a big deal? Consider that an unbuttoned collar was once deemed offensive, but now it's nothing. "Goodbye" was a scandalous abbreviation of "God be with you," but we've moved past that. CBS has a hit show with a word that you cannot say on TV (at

Shopping While Being Small: From A Teen’s Perspective

by Sam P. March 28th, 2011| Teen Perspective

I find it very frustrating when I walk by a store like Aeropostale or Abercrombie & Fitch and see an adorable pair of shorts or jeans in the window, go in and try them on, and they don't fit.  I, being one of the smaller girls in
