We all remember
the joy of summer vacation. It was when we went on trips, enjoyed some leisure
time with friends and family and otherwise got to have a little bit of a break
from the daily grind of our many years of formal education. But as an adult,
you [...]
You’ve decided
that homeschooling is the way to go with your child, at least during the early
preschool years when you want to retain more influence over your child’s
learning than you would have if he went to a public school. But making that
decision is just the beginning. Now you’ve [...]
It is infuriating
when it feels like your child ignores the directions that you have given. As
a parent, it’s frustrating to feel like your child doesn’t have
the listening skills that she needs to be able to understand, remember and act
upon what you have told her. But this is [...]
You feel like your
worst nightmare has come to pass. Another child in your preschooler’s
life has started to bully him or her and you’re not sure what to do about
it. On the one hand, you want to teach your child to stick up for himself and

of concern for many parents right around the time that kids are entering preschool
age. As babies, it’s not an issue. In fact, many parents feel that it’s
good for their pre-teeth youngsters because it comforts them, helps them to
fall asleep and can ease [...]
We are always wondering if
our children are “normal”. We don’t mean to do it, but nevertheless,
it’s something that we do all of the time. From the time that we first
count those ten toes and ten fingers, we’re subconsciously (or consciously)
comparing our kids to some ideal standard [...]
You know that kid. He’s
the one who is appalling even the other children with his atrocious table behavior.

he makes obnoxious bodily noises and he talks with his mouth open. He’s
only a child and yet [...]
