Are You a “Lame” Parent?

by Lori Sciame January 30th, 2012| Teens
When a child makes the transition to teenager, many times parents seem to become "lame" in the teen's eyes. What I mean is - a child who would always listen to a parent's ideas, thoughts, and even jokes with rapt attention, many times will seem to shut the parent

Reinforcing Preschool Lessons

by T Akery January 27th, 2012| Preschool

Feisty Child/Independent Teen

by Lori Sciame January 26th, 2012| Elementary
One word could describe my youngest daughter while in elementary school -- feisty. She had her own ideas about everything, from what types of clothes she would wear to how much homework she thought she needed to do. At the time, I found this personality trait of to be

Dealing with Biting

by T Akery January 25th, 2012| Infants/Toddlers

by Louise January 19th, 2012| Teen Perspective
Dear readers,

Your Shy Toddler

by Lori Sciame January 18th, 2012| Infants/Toddlers

by Jacob P. January 13th, 2012| Teen Perspective
Tomorrow night, I will be hanging out at my friend's house to watch the BCS National Championship Game (specifically to watch LSU win).  Because the game starts at 8:30 and it probably won't end to some time after 11 P.M., I am going to be spending the night at
