The Three to Five-Year-Olds. - Blog Entry27 Sep 2006 11:15 AM Thanks for the help with knowing what to watch for, and how to react. The parenting books often skip this subject altogether! Topical Whensday: When Will YOU Tee On to Cause an Effect? - Blog Entry27 Sep 2006 11:13 AM What a brilliant idea---- I've often said to my own family that I hate the annual 'cause' days, simply because once a year can't be enough to promote say, organ transplants, or cancer research. Once a week sounds good! I have a few Special Olympics tees here to wear, and Children in Crossfire, and will start making Wednesdays my Whensdays.... and will spread the word. Where's "IT" at? Keeping your Child's Anxiety Out of the Bag and on the Chain. - Blog Entry23 Sep 2006 08:16 AM Excellent! I'm a 'worrier' parent, but then when something seems to turn up, I'm so afraid of over-reacting that I tell myself it's probably nothing. This is a great guide you've offered, thanks! And an excellent reminder about kids and communication. The Grooming Process of a Child Sexual Predator. - Blog Entry28 Aug 2006 10:37 AM 400 children abused by one perpetrator... on AVERAGE? There's a statistic to make every parent sit up and do something. Thanks for the shock; sometimes that's what it takes. Yikes. BITSS of Touch - Blog Entry24 Aug 2006 09:08 AM I must admit, I'm one of those parents who squirm just to think of discussing this sort of abuse with my children... and when I've left it at "touching", I worry that they didn't fully understand what I was (pathetically!) trying to get at. I love the flowers and animals analogies especially, and these tips will really help. BITSS of Say No. - Blog Entry24 Aug 2006 09:02 AM Wow. I had never considered the possible dangers of my using the old tag line 'because I'm the grown up and I said so'. Thank you for all the tips and practice ideas, especially 'no' to yucky food, and the hangman idea. This one's printed out to share with daddy-- thanks! The experience of losing a parent - Blog Entry20 Aug 2006 04:03 AM I never heard of "Orphan Syndrome" before, but feel a bit better after reading your article. The feeling of having no safety net, as you describe, is the worst. Everyone expects you to be grown up and strong, but losing a parent makes you a tiny child again for a while --- thank you for pointing this out, I'm sure it will help many! When You Don't Lose the Baby Weight--Ever - Blog Entry17 Aug 2006 03:05 PM Wow, Cathy, lovely concluding paragraph. I copied it out and stuck it onto my refrigerator (how appropriate, now that I think of it LOL). After my first baby, I lost all the weight in a year. With the second, I lost nothing, then had a third. But now I'm down to within 20lbs of my former size 10, just taking it one day at a time. It's hard--thanks for the encouragement! APGAR: Baby's First Test - Blog Entry17 Aug 2006 01:31 PM Our son was given a score of "1", how's that for scary? I wish I could have read your article before that day, because your reassurances are perfectly right: it's what happens after that counts. He's alive and well today, and pure joy. But what a scary beginning; I didn't even ask his baby sister's score when the time came! LOL thanks for explaining the system so well. The Seven Intelligences: What Kind of Learner is Your Child? - Blog Entry16 Aug 2006 01:04 PM I never heard these various talents called "intelligences" before, but it makes sense and I love it. Our son has had trouble learning some concepts and we've learned to keep approaching from different angles and in different ways, and eventually the door opens for him... definitely agree with your opening, about the need for reform and more creativity in our approach to children's education. Very interesting and helpful article, thanks! |
