The Business Of Blending: When Two Families Come Together

February 5, 2016 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I must say that this blending families business is hard work. Have I mentioned this theme before? Because it's still true. My boyfriend and I are moving slowly and carefully, acclimatizing the kids to us, but also us to them. My boisterous boys can be a handful and I've really struggled to overcome … [Read more...]

Becoming The Disciplinarian After Divorce

November 13, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

There are a lot of things I do amazingly well as a mom. I'm loving, I'm understanding, I'm always on time for school pick ups and drop offs and I can always make my kids laugh. I wrestle with them, I play catch in the yard and only one time was my homemade apple sauce too cinnamon-y. But I am … [Read more...]

Parents Arrested For Forcing Daughter To Live In A Tent As Punishment

July 9, 2015 by Marianne Litman Leave a Comment

It seems like every week, there is a new story about a new way that some misguided parent decided to “punish” their child for misbehaving. From public apologies to social media shaming, the typical “No dessert after dinner” and “You’re grounded” just don’t seem to be cutting it anymore. But … [Read more...]

Are We Raising A Generation Of Materialists?

March 11, 2015 by Tanya Cruz Leave a Comment

Giving your child an "I love you" gift maybe doing a lot more harm than good.

The same was also true when … [Read more...]

Overly “Aggressive” Baby Sparks Outrage In Parents

February 27, 2015 by Kaylin Neely Leave a Comment

Written by Kaylin Neely So, it's generally pretty much agreed upon by everybody that babies don't really know what they are doing. It's their defence for kicking, hitting, biting, hair-pulling, throwing, screaming and other fun baby activities. If you Google “empathy in children,” most of the … [Read more...]

You Can’t Beat Your Child And Still Be A “Good Guy”

September 17, 2014 by Marianne Litman 6 Comments

I’m sure you’ve heard the story of NFL Vikings star Adrian Peterson and his admitted abuse of his four-year-old son. Most of the stories I have read begin from Peterson’s own childhood and how his parent’s chose to raise him. They also focus pretty heavily on what a “great guy” he is. But let’s … [Read more...]

You’re Not Gonna Hear Me Roar!

January 20, 2014 by Sara 4 Comments

It's been about a week. A little over a week. Yup, I'd say that's right. I had an Oprah AHA moment. Over the last few weeks, Will has had some sporadic tantrums. Tantrum almost can't capture what it is that he's doing. His teacher thought that he was going to go into convulsions. His little head … [Read more...]

First Child Challenges

October 9, 2013 by Jason Leave a Comment

My second child bolts up in the morning, gets dressed and makes his bed. My first child rolls out of bed at the last minute and leaves everything everywhere. My second child sits at the dining room table quietly doing all or most of his borrow-a-book homework the day after it is assigned, knowing … [Read more...]

Do you tell the parents?

November 16, 2012 by Jen

When my kids were small and they had playdates with little friends there were times when things went sideways. When the other child's parent came to pick them up I had a choice to make. Do I tell Little Johnny's mom that he pinched/hit/spit/grabbed/yelled or do I smile and wave and thank heavens … [Read more...]
