Starting Middle School

by Ronald A. Rowe July 6th, 2012| Tweens
Middle School is a time of transition, a time of growth, and a time of distraction. Tween boys are faced with a sudden influx of options - more sports, more extracurricular activities, more freedom to choose. Add in a sudden and inexplicable interest in girls and you've got a

by Editorial Team July 2nd, 2012| Parenting Predicament

Solution: Facebook Forever?

by Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil June 29th, 2012| Parenting Predicament
My twelve-year-old gave a fake birth date and opened a Facebook account. Of course I want him to close it down, but I'm afraid if he admits he lied he'll never be able to open one when he's old enough. How do I shut him down for the short

Computer Time with Toddlers

by T Akery June 12th, 2012| Infants/Toddlers

by Lori Sciame June 11th, 2012| Tweens
Maybe you haven't experienced it yet, but if you have a tween-aged child, you probably will. I'm talking about rumors. As defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, rumors are "a statement or report current without known authority for its truth."  In simplified terms, this means that basically tweens will spread

Awards

by Ronald A. Rowe June 4th, 2012| Elementary
Everybody likes getting awards. If there's one thing I like better than earning an award, it is seeing one of my sons do it. This weekend, my two sons each won an award for Leadership on their respective football teams. Saturday night, my elder son participated in a piano

Solution: Separation Anxiety

by Editorial Team June 1st, 2012| Parenting Predicament
My 18-month-old cries whenever I even leave the room.  He once pushed his playpen in front of the door to keep me from going. I'm a SAHM and have never had a babysitter, but I want him to be able to separate from me.

Solution: Book Reports

by Mrs. C. May 18th, 2012| Parenting Predicament
