Teach your child…the past can follow you
The permanent record: two words that used to strike fear into every public school kid a few decades ago. The threat of a teacher putting an infraction on the permanent record was enough to cause most kids to straighten up right quick! Some kids didn’t care two hoots, and others never did anything wrong. But for […]
Teach your child…to grab a toilet brush
While I did my own laundry since I was 13, cleaning anything beyond that was all learned “on the job” as they say. I kinda knew how to dust in that I watched my mom dust often. But for her dusting wasn’t merely dusting; it was a bucket with Murphy’s and water, a wash cloth, […]
Wednesday Review – Programming Apps
Your child may or may not head into a field that involves computer programming, but it is very likely that having an understanding of programming will be helpful. Whether making a basic website, or designing a full-fledged system, programming is here to stay. I dabbled in coding; AP Computer Science in high school and some […]

Food surgery
My kids found this to be a hoot. The seriousness of the video makes it all the more funny. Check out this Spinal KitKat Implantation in a 3 Musketeers. (yes, I really did just type that — go check it out, then it will make sense)
Teach your child…how to boil water
What do we do three times a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year? Eat, of course. And how much preparation did you get on how to accomplish the activity that precedes eating while you still lived at home? How much preparation have you given to your child(ren) in that activity? We eat […]
Teach your child…How to say “No”
I never thought of myself as one who was much affected by peer pressure, until this encounter: College. Freshman year. Hanging out with a sophomore and soccer teammate. She recounts for me a party she went to over the weekend: at some point, one of the gals she was with had the bright idea to take […]
