Teaching Moments - Are You Frustrated With Public Schools?
Last year, our nation spent over $382 Billion on education. Over 99% was spent on developing "learning environments" - buildings, books, science labs, teachers, sports programs, etc. The other part of the equation – what children can do for their education - is almost entirely overlooked.

If You'd Like to Know Why Reading Matters
??ays telling children that books and reading are good for them, but have we ever really thought about why that's true? Exactly what do older children get out of reading novels? What do younger kids get from being read to? Does reading matter?

Kids Just Wanna Have Fun!
“Kids Just Wanna Have Fun.” And who could blame them? I don’t think there are many of us who haven’t longed for the carefree, playful days of our youth. I have four of these carefree fun hungry kids. Keeping them entertained on a tight budget is always a challenge.

What Can We Do to Make Kids More Likeable?
Nothing touches the heartstrings of a parent or teacher more than the plaintive cry “nobody likes me" or ”I don’t have any friends.” We wish there were something we could do to insure the child will be, if not the most popular, at least included in the games on the playground. Actually, there is something we can do to increase their acceptance by the group and become more approachable to others.

Kick Start Your Mentor Program and Stop the Bullies!
Whining about bullying and how rotten the bullies were and the poor students that they bullied used to be one of my regular activities. “We have to do something to help these kids – both the bullies and their victims,” I would whine. But for years, I just talked to these kids and sent them on their way. After I got sick and tired of being sick and tired of talking about this – I did do something! I started a mentor program for these students!

A Bubble Blowing Activity that will Blow the Kids Away!
I bet you haven't given this blowing bubble activity any thought as a child party activity? I'm not talking about little kids blowing little bubbles from those little containers - no, I'm talking about blowing HUGE bubbles. I bet you didn't even know that it was possible? Yes, your bigger kids and their friends can have a lot of fun with this blowing bubble activity and what's more, it's inexpensive too... especially if you know how to make the right bubble solution and tools.

Teenagers Always Have a Good Excuse
Your teenager has a good excuse for everything he or she does, even hurting you, their brothers and sisters, drinking, doing drugs, and failing school. This good excuse, or positive intention is what is driving the behaviour. A positive approach is offered to a difficult situation.
