My son has been in nursery school for about six months now and should be used to sharing. I think he does ok at school but at home, it’s a totally different story.
When we have guests come over, he has some trouble sharing certain toys. I do some pre-emptive putting away of […]
Nothing’s more annoying than whining kids in a n enclosed vehicle whether it be a car, a bus, a boat, or a plane. One way to pass the time is to read a good book and Are We There Yet? by Alison Lester would be very appropriate.
From Booklist:
Eight-year-old Grace, her parents, and her two […]
With all the news lately of children getting hurt by their toys, I thought it might be good to find opportunities to remind our kids of some simple ways they can stay safe. The Safety Book for Active Kids: Teaching Your Child How to Avoid Everyday Dangers is divided into seven chapters. Some children […]
My husband travels a bit for work. Although our three-year-old doesn’t verbalize how he feels when daddy’s not here, I can tell from his behavior that he’s out of sorts. So when I found Daddy on the Moon by Cressida Cowell, I knew it would be perfect for my space-crazy boy. Just […]
For the first time in over three years yesterday, my husband and I went out alone without our son. My parents are visiting and they make the best babysitters ever. They all had a great time and S was sleeping soundly when we got home.

The Hickory Chair tells the story of […]
When I visited my son’s new nursery school in London, one of the questions I made sure to ask the head teacher was about their treatment of bullying because it is often featured in British papers and TV. She said that any school which claimed not to have any bullying isn’t telling the truth. […]
The “experts” recommend that all families have dinner together. With my husband’s work schedule, though, we’re unable to do that more than once a week at most.
In any case, dinnertime with a toddler is hardly a civilized affair. He’s very much like Frog in this classic tale by Mercer Mayer. The card […]
When my son started nursery school a few months ago, he immediately became attached to the head teacher. If he couldn’t glom onto her as soon as we arrived, I would have to wait until he could detach himself from me and attach himself to her.
Rumor has it that this is his teacher’s last […]
Jenn at Mommy Needs Coffee just lost her mother after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. The overwhelming sadness and grief accompanying the loss of a loved one is probably one of the most difficult things we will have to explain to our children.
Michael Rosen’s Sad Book talks about the author’s experience with losing […]
