Three Children… Three Sets of Challenges

by Lori Sciame February 7th, 2011| Elementary

I’d Take it for You if I Could

by Ronald A. Rowe December 8th, 2010| Elementary
When I was a boy - many, many years ago - I had bronchitis. It was painful and draining and generally no fun. I still remember my mother saying to me, "I'd take it for you if I could". It was a nice sentiment, but I couldn't really understand

Stay Connected with Your Teen

by Michele September 15th, 2010| Teens
My oldest child started high school this fall.  Although every time a child advances from one school to another, it is a change, this is the one where I have felt the greatest difference.  I anticipated that his schedule would be busy, that his social, school, and sports lives

Packing Lunch

Children Are a Reflection of Us

by Joe Lawrence August 25th, 2010| Elementary
We all want our children to grow up to be well adjusted adults in this crazy world.  I even have an image of the type of woman I want my daughter to be.  However, if I don't model the person I'm hoping for, 18 years from now will I

by Ronald A. Rowe April 26th, 2010| Elementary

by Ronald A. Rowe April 12th, 2010| Elementary
Is anyone out there planning on bringing your child to work on Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day this year? It's coming up in a couple of weeks (April 22nd). I'm kind of torn, myself.
