Kids Avoiding Punishment–Funny Stories
At what age does the act of manipulation start? I would argue after watching my two half-brothers grow, it starts around birth. I believe it’s innocent at first, but somewhere along the way through observation and absorption; it becomes an art form for some kids. My half-brothers are no exception. I will use the oldest [...]
Disciplining Someone Else’s Child–Does it take a Village?
Over Thanksgiving, I had the pleasure of taking my half-brothers to a neighborhood park. A parent of another child present decided that one of my brother’s was misbehaving.

Discipline is a tricky subject. It’s completely subjective, and most people have some pretty strong opinions on the topic. I know I’m guilty of trying not to stare while a parent yells at her screaming child in the grocery store, or I’ve wondered how a family could let their kids play Ring-Around-The-Rosy in the middle [...]
Secrets of a Grandparent
One would have thought I’d learned everything there is to know about parenthood and about life simply from having emerged (in 1 piece) from 27 years (OMG!) in the parenting trenches. One thing in life is certain – you always keep learning. So now that I have a little over a year of grandparenthood under my belt, I’m [...]
