Not only are the sentences often confuzzled, but their minds are not well equipped yet to properly express the desires of their hearts. It can be frustrating to both parties! Today, while driving to the pet store, […]

I first heard about McKay Hatch on the radio news while waiting to pick up my own teens from school. This is a pretty amazing story of a California 14 year old who has started a movement that can only be compared to the movie Pay It Forward.

There are many times that I find myself observing how different adults handle various situations with younger children and toddlers. One of the most recent observations I made was when a two-year-old realized her mother wasn’t around. This was after mommy had gotten cleaned up and snuck out the back door to go out on […]
