1. Listen to your child/children. Pay attention to what they are telling you or trying to tell you. Far too often parents are too busy or distracted to listen to what their children are trying to tell them. Don’t make this critical mistake!!!
One of the biggest misconceptions people have today is what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. Just because you exercise does not mean you are healthy. I hear much too often, oh, I can eat this because then I will work 30 or 40 minutes on the treadmill, jogging, walking, (fill in the blank with the exercise [...]
Nothing touches the heartstrings of a parent or teacher more than the plaintive cry “nobody likes me” or ”I don’t have any friends.” We wish there were something we could do to insure the child will be, if not the most popular, at least included in the games on the playground. Actually, there is [...]
Music has the power to calm, sooth, energize and make everyone have fun!
I bet you haven’t given this blowing bubble activity any thought as a child party activity?
Which favorite toy pastime is fun for all ages and makes adults nostalgic for their childhood? Hula-hooping, of course! Stock up on inexpensive hula hoops and try your hand…er, hips…at these silly games.
I always believed that life is a fast paced race way. Those that stop get left behind and those that continue despite breakdowns, pauses or interferences will ultimately in the end, win the race. As this relates to car racing, so this applies to your life. You’re in the beginning of the race of your [...]
Its just about time for school to start again (is summer vacation getting shorter?) and that means the start of sports programs for your children. The hot summer climate we’re still “enjoying”, and the increasingly competitive climate in children’s sports may raise some concerns about the safety of those programs. Here are a few guidelines [...]
During the recent “schools out session”, I was reminded how much the kids crave entertainment. No matter what time of year the “Kids Just Wanna Have Fun.” And who could blame them? I don’t think there are many of us who haven’t longed for the carefree, playful days of our youth. I have four of [...]
Back to school can be a tricky time for lots of reasons, especially if you have changed over the summer. You and your friends may look different in the fall than you did when you left school in May. You may be darker from spending time outside or have braids from your trip to the [...]
Try these one-of-a-kind kids party hat ideas for your next kids party. Create a colorful cast of characters with a few bits of paper, paint, glitter and glue.
I can’t remember how many times when I ask my friends exactly what the problem is, their reply would always be five to ten minutes of continual beating around the bush excuses, instead of explaining in two to three sentences what the problem really is. My father was the kind of guy who “tell it [...]
Parents today complain that their children like hamburgers and French fries. So, let them have them, however, make them yourself. Use lean hamburger meat or turkey meat. You can make up patties and freeze them. You can buy prepared lettuce if you don’t want to buy a whole head and have to clean it. They [...]
With all the focus on weight today it is not surprising that children are starting to look at their bodies at earlier ages. Children as young as 7 years of age are asking parents about their bodies. Where are they getting it from? Well, I would imagine television, magazines and the internet are some of [...]
Getting the right prom date is often the result of careful planning.
What is prom night? For your parents, prom night usually included a dinner followed by a dance at school. The entire event lasted no longer than one night.
OK, you are eating healthier meals and now you want to get your family to exercise together. First, sit down and talk about the different things you all like to do. Give everyone a turn to come up with a week’s worth of activities. Numerous studies have shown that if you exercise for 30 consecutive [...]
I guess this New York City girl is now a nature enthusiast to the extreme! Our recent sand dollar experience proves it.
One thing you can count on during the first days of school is the inevitable question of “What did you do over the summer?” Here are a few creative ways to describe your summer experiences for the first edition of Show and Tell.
Preparing for prom night should begin months ahead of time.
Homework causes more headaches for parents than it does for children. Some parents worry because their children don’t seem to do enough while others are concerned because they do too much.
Here Are Some of the Reasons Why Reading Is So
Important for Children
As a mother of five grown children (and soon to be grandmother!), I can attest to the fact that organizing skills are a major factor in the success of our children in school and the quality of our life at home. The ease with which we manage every area of our lives – from getting [...]
