Dealing With Newtown, Connecticut’s Tragedy

by T Akery December 18th, 2012| Elementary
Emotionally, this is probably my most difficult article to write. The tragedy at Newtown, Connecticut, really made no sense. There are no words to describe this tragedy. One lone gunman turned a parent's hope into a parent's worst nightmare.

At this point, all we can do is grieve with the

Tween Girls and Confidence

by Lori Sciame December 13th, 2012| Tweens
Tween girls have it rough.  Not only do they experience the scary changes that come along with puberty, they experience mixed messages concerning their role in society.  Some may argue that gender stereotypes have gone by the wayside; however, society still can dictate how a young woman should act

My 15-year-old daughter, who has always enjoyed a great relationship with her 17-year-old brother, is very upset when he is on the computer playing games with his friends.  She says she misses him. Today we came back from a visit at a friend of hers and as soon as

Out of the Mouths of Babes

by Ronald A. Rowe November 22nd, 2012| Elementary
Tonight, as I struggled with a major life decision, my 11-year-old son sensed the tension in my manner.  I explained to him my dilemma -- it was the good kind of dilemma in which I was forced to choose the better of two good options -- and he gave

Date Plans

by Sam P. November 8th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
Now, I know I have already given you a variety of places to go on dates, but that was for the spring or summer.  In the winter it's different.  You can no longer go to the beach, or a lake, or the park.  And it becomes much more difficult

Tween-tastic!

by Lori Sciame October 29th, 2012| Tweens
Some parents may dread the time when their child becomes a tween, the time when he or she no longer acts like a little child, yet hasn't matured enough to be classified as a young adult.  In reality, this time of a child's life offers a parent much joy. 

Parenting Through the Bad Times

by Ronald A. Rowe October 10th, 2012| Tweens

Ban Favorites

by Lori Sciame September 3rd, 2012| Tweens
Playing favorites always backfires.  From the boss who gives one employee perks that his or her equals do not enjoy, to a teacher who lets the pet do all the fun tasks in class, showing favoritism only leads to hard feelings.  Parents of tweens, take note of the previous

by Lori Sciame August 23rd, 2012| Elementary
My kids were lucky; they had four grandparents living in the same town.  As a result, all four became a large part of their lives.  Now that my youngest is 15, and one grandma recently passed, I am grateful they spent as much time as they did (and still
