| Article Title :: Teenage Gambling At Post Prom High School Party |
| |
| The latest trend to hit high schools is supervised teenage gambling at the Post Prom School Party. Over the past few months I have received numerous emails from parents, students and school faculty expressing concern about the new alternative entertainment. In all cases these people believe it would do more harm then good.The concept became reality for students once the Post Prom Committee voted to accept this new alternative entertainment.
This Post Prom Committee believes this is safe night party for the High School prom. The students who are taking part are between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years old. Each student is able to purchase fake money to gamble with and at (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Winnie the Pooh: Online Educational Fun for Children |
| |
| Recently I read a very cool book called "The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff written back in the 1980's. It shows how the popular children's cartoon bear Winnie the Pooh created by A.A. Milne in England in the 1920's, though a Western concept, actually embodies the ideology of the great Chinese (Eastern) philosophy Taoism (pronounced Daoism). I remember enjoying Winnie the Pooh stories when I was a kid so I thought I'd do the modern task of searching for his name on the Internet. Of course there are hundreds of sites based on Pooh, but I decided to go to the official site entitled: http://disney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/pooh/. Uh oh, Disney! Of course Disney didn't have the rights (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Barbie Dolls |
| |
| I am interested in creating sites on topics related primarily to young children. My first venture, is a site dedicated to dolls and doll houses.Whilst carrying out reaseach for this site, I was blown away by the amount of information there was to be gained by studying Barbie and other dolls.The whole world over, Barbie is the doll that every girls just got to have.

| Article Title :: Music and the Young Child |
| |
| Having operated a successful Family Child Care in my home for over 10 years, I have had many opportunities to introduce various aspects of the Arts to young children. Being naturally musical myself, providing a musical curriculum to my kids was a simple and obvious way to enhance the daily activities of my child care and my own children as well.Children respond to music at a very young age. Nearly everyone can remember their mother or grandmother singing nursery rhymes to them as little children. I have vivid memories of swinging outside and singing ‘Hey Diddle Diddle’ as loudly as I could just to hear the sound. With my own children I have always used music to calm and enterta (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Self-Esteem and Teens |
| |
| Ideally, we raise our children from the cradle to have a positive sense of self-esteem. A child that has always had a strong sense of who they are and were they want to go with their life isn't as likely to dabble in drugs, alcohol, and premarital sex. A child who has a safe open dialog with at least one of their parents isn't as likely to keep secrets and start sneaking around during the teenage years. A child who has been raised to set personal boundaries isn't as likely to let peer pressure dictate their standards of conduct. Children who have been raised to recognize their own gifts and limitations are able to make their own choices about what is in their long-term best interest. (read full article) |

difficult to know where to begin. While reviewing how IvyWise students
have spent their summers, I noticed that their plans fell under six basic
categories. I included the a few examples in each category to help you
get started.1. Make a DifferenceCommunity service is always a valuable endeavor, and the summer is a
wonderful time to make a difference in your community. One IvyWise
student spent two summers in high school traveling to India, where she
