Solution: Book Reports

by Mrs. C. May 18th, 2012| Parenting Predicament
Both my kids like to read but hate to talk or write about books. If they like a book they don't want to "ruin" it by discussing it, and if it's a book assigned to them in school they have no interest in it. This makes English papers and

As a teenager, Mother's Day is one

by T Akery May 10th, 2012| Tweens
Approaching the subject of sex at this age doesn't seem like a topic appropriate for tweens. However, there is a very real need to approach this discussion at this age. The fact is that some tweens are having sex. It is a reality that can't be ignored because you

If your school does any big vacations for certain grades that include sleeping over somewhere, you need to pack an overnight bag.  For some unorganized people, it may seem like a daunting task.  And that is why I am here to help you.  I am an OCDish neat freak,

Thumb Sucking in Toddlers

Some toddlers will develop the habit of sucking on their thumbs. Not all toddlers are going to develop this type of self-comforting habit. But it is completely normal to find your toddler sucking their thumb more than you think they should. Dealing with thumb sucking can be a huge
