Waiting Room Blues

by Lori Sciame February 15th, 2012| Preschool
I've spent a lot of time in hospital waiting rooms lately. It's not fun, waiting for a loved one's surgery to be over, and wondering if he or she will be OK. Time drags. Emotions are raw. Basically, this is not a place I want to be. And the

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
Some toddlers do bite. As parents, it can be difficult to deal with a toddler that bites, especially when they bite other children. Daycare and Preschools usually have a no tolerance policy for that type of problem. It can also cause major problems inside the household, as parents are

Your Shy Toddler

by Lori Sciame January 18th, 2012| Infants/Toddlers
Who doesn't love the precocious toddler? You know, the child that talks easily to the checkout person at the local store, excited about the new toy she has clutched in her hands? Or the child who bubbles over with laughter and smiles on cue at portrait taking time, often

Talking to Your Toddler About Lying

by T Akery January 12th, 2012| Infants/Toddlers
This is one of the big issues that you face as a parent of a toddler. No matter how good you think your toddler is about telling the truth, at some point, they will come up with a lie. Whether their motive is to stay out of trouble or

Travelling With Children

by Ronald A. Rowe January 6th, 2012| Elementary
Long car trips with kids can be a challenge. It's been that way for generations. But as technology has evolved, things have gotten quite a bit easier. Hand-held video games, dual screen back seat DVD players, MP3 players - we've got a whole lot of weapons in our arsenal

Teen’s Perspective on New Year’s

by Sam P. January 2nd, 2012| Pregnancy, Teen Perspective, Teens
New Year's Eve.  The day everyone is told to stay up till midnight.  It really is quite a glorious day. Or night depending on how you look at it.  I guess you could even consider it morning.  Whatever way you look at it, it is a very important day

Dealing with After-Christmas Chaos

by T Akery December 28th, 2011| Infants/Toddlers
The after-Christmas chaos is a rough time for toddlers. The main reason is that toddlers are simply overwhelmed. Christmas brought in a plethora of wrapped toys, candy, and cookies. All the excitement combined with sugar can overload them on that day. Unfortunately, the aftermath of Christmas day is simply

Don’t Squash Exploration

by Lori Sciame December 15th, 2011| Elementary
"Watch out!" "Be careful." "Don't run!"

These directions can literally be lifesavers for elementary age children. For instance, a visit to the Grand Canyon would make any parent extra vigilant where his or her child is concerned. Too close to the edge and the consequences would be devastating. Yet, some

Dieting: From the Teen’s View (Part 1)

by Jacob P. December 14th, 2011| Teen Perspective
I don't think it is necessary for most kids to arbitrarily diet.  Dieting can be unhealthy and stressful for kids and teens.  There are situations where dieting is an important step to take, for one reason or another.  So, I thought I would write about what I think about

The candy season gets its official kickoff at Halloween. From there, it is a never-ending deluge until after Easter. Then it slows down momentarily only to spike again on summer birthdays. Then the whole cycle starts all over again. Toddlers want as much of it as they can get
