What happens when your child comes home from school, holding a Father’s Day gift that he made in class, without a father to give it to? Do you simply tell him that he needs to throw it away, because he doesn’t have a father? Do you get angry at the teacher for being so insensitive […]

Have you ever been mid grocery shopping, cart stuffed with produce and dairy products, when your child decided to throw the mother of all tantrums? How about those of you who attend church? Has a child ever hauled off and pitched an uncontrollable fit, in the middle of a sermon? Most of us have encountered […]

My family and I leave in two hours, for our annual vacation. We will be on the road for approximately three hours. It doesn’t seem like a long time, when it is verbalized, but it is an eternity when there are seven bored and whiny children on board. I have learned, the hard way, to […]

…a little too easy, if you ask me. Many parents see their child’s summer break as a cessation of learning. The summer days are often spent on vacation, lazing about the house or whining about how boring life is. While there is definitely a portion of the break that should be used for these three […]

God knows I try to have my serious moments once in a while. Those priceless moments where I pay tribute to what wonderful kids I have, but when I have a doggie laying next to me with the worst case of gas EVER, it’s difficult to be sentimental. In fact, it’s taking everything I have […]

As authors of Guerrilla Parenting (and mommies too,) Gayla and I have been labeled as many things. We have been called tough, unfair, judgmental, harsh, just to name a few. We make our “hard core” opinions on child rearing and discipline, known to all who read Guerrilla Parenting. Sometimes, it costs us readers. Sometimes it offends […]

Every family has one and every community has their fair share of them - you know the kind and perhaps you’re one yourself - The Annoying Bragger.
While growing up, I remember a couple of aunts, one on each side of my family, who literally spoiled family holidays with their endless bragging. In fact, it […]

February is a month chalk full of opportunities to teach children about culture, history and leadership. Even though the public school system touches on these topics, I feel that so much more could be taught if we, as parents, would make efforts to further these lessons in the home.
Our family celebrates black history because it is important […]

I truly believe that there is someone for everyone. But I also believe that you have to make the choice to recommit yourself to loving that someone, every single day. Love does not regulate itself. It needs constant attention, regular maintenance and daily reaffirmation to continue to thrive in a relationship. In honor of Valentine’s […]
