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 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

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

Making New Year’s Memories

by Lori Sciame December 30th, 2011| Elementary
Children love family rituals. This is especially true of New Year's Eve. My best memories of this exciting time involve watching Dick Clark's Rockin New Year's Eve with my favorite cousin.  We also played board games such as Monopoly or Life, and the night usually included a rousing card
