Question of the Day: What do you do when boys act like ... boys?

May 17, 2010 15:17 by author

Boys will be boys, they say. And let's face it - boys generally are a bit more physical than girls and more boisterous (with exceptions, always). But how do you keep the flame of competitiveness burning while ensuring their baser nature doesn't get them pushing other children in school?... [More]

Our big boy rarely sleeps in our bed anymore, but the little one ends up making his way in virtually every night. At what point do we put our foot down?

Question of the Day: Is Teen Pregnancy Not Such a Bad Thing?

February 17, 2010 09:42 by author

Amy Vernon

OK, it's a trick question, because the answer should be obvious.But some study in Britain concluded that teenagers are more motivated to get jobs and provide for their families and being a teenaged parent isn't such a bad thing. What? Please don't tell me you agree. Though, if you do, I... [More]

Question of the Day: How do you entertain your children when you have to take them on business appointments?

January 28, 2010 09:21 by author

Amy Vernon

Yes, that was a long title, but I couldn't figure how to shorten it. We had to take Markus with us to the bank the other day, and he was pretty good until the last 15 minutes or so. We made the mistake of thinking he'd be satisfied with the games I had on my iPhone. The best laid plans ... [More]

We celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas in our house. Our differing religions have never been a problem, but I know that many families have issues when December rolls around, particularly when the holidays overlap, though they did not this year. The most important thing to remember is tha... [More]

Question of the Day: Do you drink in front of your children?

November 30, 2009 07:00 by author

Amy Vernon

OK, look, I don't expect that any of you are going to say, "Yeah! I get sloppy drunk in front of the little ones all the time!" But I do wonder what the right balance is.
