I’ve recently begun making the college rounds with my sixteen-year-old son, an experience I went through with my eighteen-year old daughter last year.
When in the thick of visiting campuses across the country, reviewing application expectations and feverishly researching acceptance odds at each university in consideration, I cannot help but marvel at [...]]]></description>

Several years ago a Wall Street Journal article by Jeffrey Zaslow caught my eye. It began: 
 
“You, You, You &#8212; you really are special, you are! You&#8217;ve got everything going for you. You&#8217;re attractive, witty, brilliant. &#8220;Gifted&#8221; is the word that comes to mind.”

Greetings New York Parents Club!
Does your preschooler throw the occasional temper tantrum?
If so, your little one could be suffering from “temper dysregulation with dysphoria” or TDD&#8211;a diagnosable psychiatric disorder.
This is one of many new labels our children may receive when an updated version of the leading psychiatric diagnostic manual, the DSM-V, is released in 2013.
We’ll [...]]]></description>

Greetings New York Parents Club!
Out of curiosity, I decided to weigh my 13-year old’s backpack.
17.5 pounds!
A recent Consumer Reports study found the average middle-school backpack weighs in at 18.4 pounds, with some weighing up to 30 pounds.
So, I guess this qualifies my daughter’s backpack as underweight… wow.
Why the heavy load? Much of it can be [...]]]></description>

Greetings New York Parents Club!
My youngest son has a best friend he adores. The two spend as much time together as all adult parties involved will allow, taking turns hosting one another in their homes. My son’s friend is well behaved, respectful and a pleasure to be around.

A friend told me a blog-provoking story yesterday&#8211;she’d found a notebook in her ten-year-old daughter’s bedroom with a page titled, “Boys I’ve kissed.” The list contained the names of five neighborhood boys, all a year or two older than her daughter.
Now, the first question running through my mind is, “How would [...]]]></description>

I’d wager to say we’ve all been there&#8211;facing one of our beloved children who has crossed a behavioral line.
We know the behavior must be addressed.  And we know there must be a consequence.
Now, in my book, consequences are different than punishments.  Where punishments are really retributions (you hurt me, so I [...]]]></description>

It seems every conversation these days includes some reference to the state of our economy.
 
Parents are just as likely to share cost-savings tips, as they are to schedule play dates.
 
Cutting our adult-related costs may seem painful, but we know what to do: skip the lattes, control the impulse shopping excursions, scale [...]]]></description>

Long gone are the days when cellular phones were luxuries reserved for senior-level business executives and well-to-do early adopters. 
And while the handheld communication gadgets have only been around a little over twenty-five years, they are on the verge of becoming utilities in our daily lives. 
In fact, some may argue they are [...]]]></description>

I have some news… you are being watched.


Yes, watched…closely and intently.
By your children, that is.
Our children are always watching…looking up to us for guidance and example.
So this week, let’s examine the example we are setting in our homes where healthful eating and exercise are concerned.
