I’ve seen it so many times. We will be playing at a park, shopping in a store or at a school function and we see a child who is being a complete brat. The mom will flush and say something like, “He has ADHD.” Oddly enough, that same child will be seen eating junk food for lunch [...]
Yep, you’re going to see a whole lot of back to school posts around here for the next few weeks! My kids are gearing up to face their return to school in only six more days. One of our biggest struggles is keeping track of the hundreds of school papers that come and go every week. It seems that [...]
With a new school year just a sneeze away, many parents are getting ready to put their children back on the medication that they’ve taken a summer break from. Some of these parents, along with others who have children that display behavioral problems but do not take medication, are concerned with ensuring that their kids can [...]
My oldest child has always enjoyed playing with dolls, dressing up in costumes and having tea parties. I have a feeling that things are about to change. She will enter the fourth grade next month.

One of the ways I like to teach the kids to show gratitude, is by having them make end of the year gifts for their teachers and the school staff. Teachers are the hardest working and worst paid professionals, I’ve ever met. Most of them, bring work home with them, spend lots of their own [...]
Livid is too mild a word to express my current feelings towards my son’s kindergarten situation. Kindergarten should be a memorably pleasant year. A child’s kindergarten teacher is so vital to their over all impression of school and learning. My son’s teacher was an exemplary kindergarten teacher. There was only one downfall. She was pregnant.

Wednesday’s episode of Supernanny introduced us to the An-Duan family. Mr. and Mrs. An-Duan are similar to many American parents, in that they strive to give their children every opportunity to succeed in life. It was very evident that education, culture and fine arts ranked high on the list of priorities for their five kids. However, the excess of extracurricular activities created a hectic [...]
