“Geez…what next?” This was my first thought as I read the headline on MSNBC: “Teens sending nude photos via cell phones.” Then I read the article.

We have all done things, as teens and young adults, that we are not proud of. Maybe we regret them, or maybe not. The question at hand, is whether or not you are honest with your kids, when they ask about your youthful trespasses. If your kids ask about sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, do you […]

When a child commits a misdemeanor in your home, do you resort to using the same punishment every time, or do you tailor it to fit the crime? Do you skip the “punishment” in favor of a lecture lesson?
My son made the mistake of writing on the wall, yesterday. It was pretty obvious who […]

I cannot believe that kids, who sit on the couch and ‘have a […]

Being the parent of two teens and stepparent to two, I found these ‘typical signs’ most helpful and have stored them in the recesses of my mind (and here on SuperNannyRules) for future reference. I’ve already recognized a couple of these tell-tale signs in two of our children and am in the process of taking […]

It feels like I’m living in a chia family lately. I didn’t want to say anything too early for fear of jinxing our situation, but now that all is said and done, I can share as much as I like.
Last week was a very busy week here in our little household. Last Thursday we found […]

Are you one of those parents who observes ill behaved children who run pure evil out of sight from their parents and does nothing?
As much as I’ve tried to be one of those parents, I just can’t.
My husband swears I’m going to get arrested for intervening one of these days. I’m of the belief that […]
