Parents Leave Your Emotional Baggage At The Door
Recently I ran across a parenting blog in which the writer was reviewing an educational product. She immediately lost credibility with me when in her first paragraph, she wrote that the product made her feel like vomiting, and then used some form of sexual innuendo to refer to the innocuous item.I was curious: What kind of a person could have such an over-the-top, bizarre reaction to something so banal?
Reading her bio and other personal blog entries, I learned that she is haunted by a very...

Six Communication Skills Every Child Should Know
"I was at a party the other night and I got trapped in the corner by a man who just talked and talked and talked. I tried to give him the signals to end the conversation, but he didn't pick up on them. What a bore."
Teaching children how to communicate politely and effectively is one of a parent's most important tasks. Assuming that children will learn proper communication skills without parental guidance is a big mistake. Parents should begin teaching their children basic communication...

He Said/She Said: A Parent's Dilemma
The father of one of my son's classmates apologized to me today as I was getting out of my car in the school parking lot. He felt badly for reprimanding me the day before after hearing from his daughter that my son had given her a pinch.
The day of the alleged pinch I immediately apologized to the man and his daughter for my 4 year old son's behavior. I asked my son to apologize to the girl, but he said that he hadn't done it and wouldn't apologize. We got into our cars with me saying a final...
