Responsibility and Consequences

by Ronald A. Rowe December 9th, 2011| Elementary
Children learn early on in life that there are consequences to their choices. They also learn, despite our best efforts to the contrary, that they can avoid the consequences if they can deflect the responsibility. In my years of working with children, I've heard it all. "The teacher didn't

Santa Can’t Deliver Flying Ponies!

by Lori Sciame December 8th, 2011| Preschool
Great expectations. That's what preschoolers have when it comes to gifts from Santa. Take my oldest son, for example. One Christmas he asked Santa for the Taj Mahal. You know, the colossal building located in India? As you can imagine, Santa did his best to fulfill a young child's

Homestyle Kitchen

by T Akery December 7th, 2011| Product reviews
The Homestyle Kitchen may seem like one of the must have Christmas gifts for toddlers. It is a kitchen that they can play in. But, its flat packing and picture design don't exactly prepare you for what is hidden in the box. If you are planning on getting this

by Sam P. December 5th, 2011| Teen Perspective

Really Listening to a Teen’s Problems

by Lori Sciame December 1st, 2011| Teens
As adults, we tend to forget what it felt like to be a teenager. Think back - remember how your hair would never do what you wanted it to, while each morning you awoke to the appearance of another angry red pimple? What about that time your heart pounded

Volunteering at Your Child’s Preschool

Preschools love their parent volunteers. They help teachers supervise field trips, help with parties, and help with the smaller tasks that teachers need to do but can't get to without outside help. Volunteering at your preschool has a few advantages for parents too.

Size: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. November 28th, 2011| Teen Perspective, Teens
At one time or another, every kid has wondered how big they will  be as adults.  I wonder how large I will be, and I'm fifteen.  It's natural for kids to be interested in their size, but worry over size is a completely different matter. Kids mainly only worry

by Louise November 25th, 2011| Elementary, Teen Perspective
A memory book is a scrapbook for memories. The memories can be in the form of pictures or words, or a combination of the two. When I was in 6th grade, every student in my class was required to create a memory book that would be a record of

Last week, I read in the news about the one-year-old boy that lived on the outskirts of St. Louis who died at the hands of his own mother. After questioning by police, the mother admitted to hitting and shaking the baby because he would not stop crying, and he

Have you considered writing a story for your child? It doesn't matter if you're an expert writer or not, your child will love to hear a story that you've written just for him or her.
