•   Safe and Fun Indoor Play
  

  Winter seems to last forever when the kids are full of energy and won't go outside. My kids are bouncing off the walls, are yours? It’s been hard to get my kids to spend more than 10 minutes outside this winter. It’s either too rainy for them or too cold. “If only it would snow!” they say. “If only you would stop bouncing off the walls!” I say. Eventually we put our heads together and come up with something that will get their pent up energy out.

•   Help Your Child to Give During the Holiday Season
  

  Have you found yourself sitting by the tree Christmas morning, watching your child tear through their mountain of gifts, and you hear them say “What! That’s it?” I have and it made me squirm in my slippers. As a parent I want to teach my children the important lessons of life: treating people with respect, sticking up for the underdog, wearing clean underwear and, in this case, being gracious when given a gift.
