Money Management: From the (Driving) Teen’s View

by Jacob P. August 6th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
As I have said before, I am a saver. I rarely spend money, prefering to put it away for later.  When I do spend, I will mentally debate it for quite a while and even research what I am buying.  "Cheap" is an accurate descriptor of me.  Now that I

Lessons from the Olympics

by Ronald A. Rowe August 1st, 2012| Elementary
Watching the Olympics together is great family fun. But it can also be a good time to work in some sneaky life lessons for the kids. They may even enjoy themselves so much they don't even realize they're learning something. Here are four lessons that we can teach our

Rating Systems: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. July 9th, 2012| Teen Perspective
First of all, I would like to apologize for lying.  I didn't get the talk I  was expecting about the responsibilities of driving, so I will not be able to write the second part of that "My Expectations."  The only rules I got were about gas money, and they

Long Car Rides

by Sam P. July 4th, 2012| Teen Perspective
In a large family, flying places gets quite expensive, and quickly too.  Because of that, my family tends to drive everywhere.  Sure, always driving is boring and slow, not to mention cramped.  But almost always it is much more financially intelligent, especially with six people in our family, because

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

by Lori Sciame June 22nd, 2012| Elementary
Don't end up in the emergency room this summer with your elementary age child.  To avoid unintentional injuries, be wary of falls, fireworks, and even the sun.  No one wants to think that an injury will happen, yet if you purposely work to avoid such instances, your summer will

Teen’s Perspective on Family Birthday Parties

by Sam P. June 19th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
On Sunday, I went to my four-year-old cousin's birthday party.  And when I got home I started thinking about how when I was his age I had two birthday parties, one with my friends and one with my family.  His was a combined one, with friends and family, and

Solution: Getting Kids Outdoors

by Playroom Supervisors June 15th, 2012| Parenting Predicament
Last time's question:

How do I get my kids to play outdoors? I think the inside of our house is too much fun! Even while they're not allowed to play video games or watch TV, they don't want to go outdoors — they say it's boring.

Computer Time with Toddlers

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

This weekend, I went to the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline, New Hampshire.  The institute is actually Bear Mountain, which artist Paul Andres owns.  The mountain has artwork (mainly sculptures and metal-art) located all over it, which can be accessed via hiking trails.  Although I am not

Dress Shopping

I am in eighth grade so I have a graduation in a few weeks before I go to high school.  This occasion also has a dance, and it is a semi-formal/formal event.  Because of this I had to go dress shopping.  So, I figured I should probably write an
