| Article Title :: Parenting - It Can Be Fun |
| |
| Like so many of us, in my early stages of parenthood I took a very traditional, mainstream approach to caring for my first-born. I’m thrilled to say that today I’ve grown. For the betterment and health of my children, I examined new ways of doing things. By listening, not only to my heart, but to my babies, and opening my mind to those around me willing to share their wisdom and experiences, I believe I’ve created a bond with my children that will last a lifetime.Because of this, I hope to share some of my misconceptions and solutions with others, in hope of enlightening them to truly examine their parenting options and methods, and ask themselves if they believe they a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Kids and Books: Cultivating Imagination |

| Article Title :: Learning to Read: Developmental Milestones on the Road to Literacy |
| |
| The process of learning to read is a journey filled with magic,
excitement, and fun as well as frustration and impatience. Most of us do
not remember how we learned to read (that is the “magic” piece). There
are, however, a series of developmental and academic milestones one
must move through in order to become a successful reader. Most
children relish in the accomplishment of becoming a reader by the end
of 1st grade but the road to literacy begins before a child can even talk
or walk. Your child's success as a reader is highly dependant on the
opportunities s/he is presented with from the very beginning of life.Below are reading milestones a typical child (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Parenting Advice: Playing Favorites |
| |
| Q: We have quite a dilemma in our house and I'm not sure which way to go. We have two daughters, ages 15 and 11. The 15-year-old has taken to blaming all her bad behavior on her sister because she thinks we treat her younger sister as the favorite. Can this make her behave badly? Do you think we should change how we treat them?A: Put two or more children in one family and someone will eventually cry "you treat him/her better than me!"So that leads to the question, should you take this seriously, and if so, what should you do about it?First, ask yourself if there is any validity to the complaint.
