| Article Title :: Helping Your Children Develop Their Self-Discipline |

| Article Title :: Who's Teaching Your Child About Money? |
| |
| Managing money is one of the most critical skills we must master to function effectively as adults. However, public school curricula rarely address this issue directly. Instead, teachers cover it as a side topic or as examples in math.So, just who is responsible for this critical education?WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?PARENTS can teach “money” lessons as soon as their kids can count. Otherwise, your toddler may reach his own conclusions about “where money comes from.” He may decide it does not grow on trees; instead, it comes from an ATM (Automated Teller Machine).Does your child expect you to buy her all kinds of goodies every time you go shopping?

| Dear Camille,As I thumb through the photographs that I carry with me always in my briefcase, it’s hard to fathom that the short haired, smiling baby holding a crawfish and wiggling its claws has turned into the beautiful goldilocks girl that demands the stage and wants so much to sing.I feel like such a cliché—all those veteran parents telling us how quickly you would grow up, how it would be over before we know it, how we had best pay attention before it all ended.They were right.I can’t believe you turned three.I can’t believe the seasons change so fast, the questions change so fast, though the answers seem so much alike.I sit on airpla (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Protect your Kids Early with Safety Glasses |
| |

They must not only cover the front of the eyes but also the top and sides as well so small particles can’t enter the eye. You can find inexpensive shields from a home improvement store that will also go over your regular eyeglasses. These types of glasses fog easily making them difficult to see out of. Safety glasses with polycarbonate lenses are very protective and more comfortable if professionally fitted. There is an industry ANSI standard that must be adhered to if glasses and frames can be rated as safety. They need to be sturdy and survive a test where a ba (read full article) |
