My Little Copy Cat

It’s amazing to me how naturally and easily my children mimic me! If you’ve ever watched a child attempt to blow bubbles for the first time, you know exactly what I mean. Babies love bubbles, and they love popping them, but what they seem to love the most is blowing the bubbles themselves. They don’t [...]

Cuddle or Correct? What’s Right?

Now that I’m, “Papa” to grandkids, my kids—their parents—think I’ve absolutely gone soft! There may be some truth to that. Getting kids out of diapers and out of college and into life is pretty tiring but I’m convinced that, having raised three kids, I’m better at figuring out what’s worth getting upset over and what’s [...]

Toddlerzilla: Help! Strong Willed Isn’t Even Close!

Sometimes, despite our best efforts as parents, our children will behave badly. They might throw temper tantrums. They might act out against those around them. They might resist authority to the extent that you’ll wonder if “No!” is their favorite word. It can be frustrating. It can be humiliating. And yes, occasionally, it can even [...]

Tummy time is actually an integral part of mental and physical development for your baby. In addition, [...]

I’M NOT HAPPY!!!!! Managing temper tantrums & Melt-downs.

There are few things that pack more fury than a child’s temper tantrum. Screaming, crying, kicking, hitting, biting, holding their breath—kids pull out all the stops when they’re trying to express their frustration, anger, jealousy or sadness. When it occurs at home, it’s a hassle. When it occurs in public, it’s a downright nightmare. Here [...]

How To Add To Your Child’s Bank Account

Caught your eye, with that title, didn’t I? Well, I’m not talking about money, but something just as valuable—your child’s language bank. From the moment of birth, and at an accelerated rate for the first 6 years, the brain is developing learning capacity. Brain development, or learning, is actually the process of creating, strengthening, and [...]

As a kindergarten teacher…

I love sending my kids to School for Amazing Kids, Weatherly! They are well loved and spoiled rotten! As a kindergarten teacher, I wanted my kids in a place that not only prepared them for the classroom, but allowed them to be children. I thrilled at the way the 4K program prepared my son for Kindergarten! He went into kindergarten knowing all letters and sounds and beginning to sound out words. He was prepared for the classroom and socially because of School for Amazing Kids!
