Nothing pisses me off more than witnessing a parent putting their child(ren) in danger, when on the go. My usual tendency to mind my own business goes right out the window, when I see a child’s safety being compromised, and I lose the ability to keep my mouth shut. I have done so on many different occasions and will […]
Death is a natural part of the circle of life. Although adults understand this concept, it might be a challenge for some of us to help our children grasp the idea of death and work through the inevitable grief.

What is the most useful weapon in killing the horrid greed monster that often grips children?

In my grandmother’s day, being a housewife meant being a wife who stays in the house. She cleaned, cooked, managed finances and looked after the children. Sure, she had the occasional cup of coffee with Mrs. Smith down the street. But there were no such things as ladies’ night out, play groups and chat rooms. […]

Are you a multi-tasker? Are you raising a multi-tasker?
I’ll admit, I’m guilty of doing a zillion things at once in order to get them all done before my favorite shows come on at 8:00 PM. I want to be able to kick back, relax and enjoy the evening watching television with the family. […]
