Vtech Kidizoom cameras are one of the more innovative toys out on the market.

Children of Conviction

September 2nd, 2011 Posted by Ronald A. Rowe | Behavior, Elementary, General Parenting
The other day my 10-year-old son came home from school and reported that his friends laughed at him because he didn’t know who Eminem is. That unpleasant interaction brings to mind the age-old quandary – where is the line between keeping our children above the influence and keeping them out of touch?

I’m thrilled that our son prefers to listen to the Christian pop station in our area. That’s his choice, and I fully support it. But should he have a finger on the pulse of popular culture? Does it matter if he knows who Lady Gaga is or what

Paper dolls are a very old school toy that has never really gone out of style for little girls. Even now, little girls are just as fascinated with the concept as they were years ago.

Cars for Families

August 8th, 2011 Posted by Jacob P. | General Parenting, Helpful hints, Teen Perspective
Our family has two cars, a Honda Odyssey and a Mini Cooper.  The mini van is now thirteen years old and needs to be replaced.  It still runs, but is prone to breakdowns, so we don't drive it very far.  Due to that, we are looking for a new family vehicle.  Hunting for a family vehicle can be much harder than it sounds.  So, I figured I would input my two cents on family cars.

First of all, you must determine what type of car you need.  Here I am only going to discuss sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and mini vans.
