Why you shouldn’t praise kids for being smart.
I&#8217;ve been reading Malcolm Gladwell&#8217;s latest book &#8220;What The Dog Saw&#8221; and came across, what I thought was a pretty interesting lesson.  As I have written before, I am a fan of his writing and have learned something about life (or myself) in each of his books [...]]]></description>

Motherhood brings out the lioness in me. No task is too small or sacrifice too great to ensure the well being of my three children. In my mind’s eye I can see myself jumping in front of an on-coming train to save their lives; feeding them first from my last ration of bread; offering myself [...]]]></description>

We have heard it a million times in business, school, relationships and life in general.
It’s the small things that make the difference.
Then why do the vast majority of people keep searching for that magic bullet, that secret ingredient, that special something to catapult them to success?

Friday I got an email from my son’s 4th grade teacher. In it, she wrote, “By the way, I respect the way you and Matt work together on Christian&#8217;s behalf!  He is lucky to have two parents that care so much!” I immediately sent Matt, my son’s father, a text message relaying the compliment and [...]]]></description>

How can two kids from the same gene pool be so different? I know that my brothers and I were all from the same gene pool, but were we really this different? Kids never cease to amaze me, confuse me  and enlighten me, usually all at the same time.

He is in the 25th percentile for weight, and 50th percentile for height. He’s been holding there for a while now. When he was born, he wasn’t a very big baby. At his 3 month appointment, he was in the 5th percentile for weight, and [...]]]></description>

Being the sensitive, empathetic spirit I am, I pay a lot of attention to how people feel.  It really bothers me when someone feels bad, especially about themselves.  Yes, I&#8217;m one of those that sometimes cries when I hear of bad things happening to good people.  Especially children.  The cheerleader in me just always wants [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Do you think I&#8217;m fat?&#8221;.
Has your child ever asked you this question?
