by T Akery July 10th, 2012| Infants/Toddlers
Toddlers and puppies are cute together. They are a natural photogenic couple. But before you dive into getting a puppy for your toddler, you should think about a few things. Yes, those cute faces practically beg to be adopted. But they can also add twice the work and twice

Tweens and Cooking

by T Akery July 3rd, 2012| Tweens
Cooking is a life skill that will serve tweens well into adulthood. While this doesn't necessarily mean that they will eat better, it will be easier for them to make the adjustments to a healthier lifestyle if they understand the basics of the kitchen. There is no better instructional

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

Siblings as Babysitters

by Lori Sciame June 26th, 2012| Elementary
Older brothers and sisters serve as built-in role models for elementary age children.  This can either have negative or positive effects, depending on what the older child is teaching the younger child while you and your spouse are at work. Since it's summer, and many parents depend on an

My Expectations

by Jacob P. June 25th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
So, at some point this week (I am writing this on Wednesday the 20th), I will be going to get my driver's license.  I have everything; I'm ready to go and I think I will do just fine.  So, I have been thinking about the rules that I expect

Avoiding Seasonal Injuries

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

Scheduling: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. June 13th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
For those who don't know, I am very anal (cue giggling).   In other words, I am organized and get  slightly bothered when things aren't.  Although it isn't as bad as clinical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, it's similar.  This means that I tend to organize myself, but I am also a

School Projects

by Sam P. June 6th, 2012| Tweens
Finally, school is almost out.  For some of us, it will be our last year in the school district, for some of us, we will be heading to high school (cough cough me cough cough).  Whatever grade you are heading to, you are more excited for having summer first. 

Solution: Book Reports

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