Learning the concept of what a consequence is, can be a daunting task for a 4 year old. Let’s face it…I’ve taught many high school kids who didn’t seem to want to understand what a consequence was. Half the battle is defining the word, and the other half is getting them to think ahead and [...]

My Kid Washes Dishes!! (and likes it!–so far)
I have a friend who sent me a blog about this lady who has their children do many chores around the house even when the kids are 2. She runs her household really well and I was amazed at all she managed to do. So my friend and I were discussing what our kids would [...]

Ear infection (again)
Well, I took Baby Boy into the doctor today. He began running fever on Saturday and has been running fever ever since. He has an ear infection in his right ear again. Apparently this is the same ear that has been infected the last several times he has been sick. Last time we went to [...]
