by T Akery December 29th, 2011| Preschool
At various times of the year, your Preschool is going to have fundraisers. In a way, this is preparing you for your child's future school life.

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

Public Speaking

by Ronald A. Rowe December 23rd, 2011| Elementary, Helpful Hints
Sometimes, you try everything you can think of to inspire or educate your child and it still doesn't work.  But sometimes -- not so often, but sometimes -- you stumble on something by accident that really gets the job done.

My ten-year-old son is a fearless public speaker.  He'll get

Terrific Gifts for Toddlers

by Lori Sciame December 22nd, 2011| Infants/Toddlers
The holiday season always seems more magical when you have a little one to share it with. Nothing beats the awe in a child's eyes the first time they see the glowing lights on the Christmas tree, or when they realize that colorful presents placed before them contain toys

Teen Perspective: Celebrating Culture/Traditions

by Louise December 21st, 2011| Teen Perspective
If your family has some tradition other than the typical "American" ones, cherish them. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the American holidays and the aspects that go with them, but there's something about having a special holiday that no one else celebrates (in close proximity) that

The Nook

by T Akery December 19th, 2011| Product reviews
The Nook is a handheld book reader device that offers a lot of different features. Since this site is about kids, this review is for the applications that kids would find interesting. However, it is not something that your kids should play with unsupervised unless they are mature and

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

Toddlers and Candy

by T Akery December 12th, 2011| Infants/Toddlers
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

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

Toddlers and Facebook

by T Akery December 2nd, 2011| Infants/Toddlers
Facebook is a social networking site made for adults. In fact, if you read their terms of service, a person has to be at least 13 years old to create an account. As tempting as it might be to create a Facebook page for your toddler, it is not
