When most people think of kid's and creativity what comes to mind is construction paper and glue, art supplies, craft supplies, building toys, etc. This is all good stuff, but that's not exactly what this post is about.
Teach Children to Think Creatively
Life is an act of creation. Everyday we think, we feel and we make choices and take action.

Okay, let's stop right here and calm down, so we can move on in a more positive direction. That is the purpose of Time Out, isn't it? Sometimes parents have trouble implementing this discipline method and I think it is because it is too often used as a punishment, which in turn incites rebellious behavior.
Parental discipline means helping our children learn to control themselves. Time Out is Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269271667084416027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338153081616933485.post-4730977901871228122016-02-17T16:34:00.001-05:002016-02-17T16:34:42.172-05:00
An Update from Blogger about Google Friend Connect
In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account.

Discipline Barriers
Sometimes it's really hard to get the kids moving in the morning, but you have to drop them off at daycare and get to work on time. What can you do to make them move faster? It can seem that the more you push, the more they slow down. Don't cave, and please don't bribe.
Sometimes we have to slow down as parents and look at things from a different perspective.

I was sitting in a McDonald's on an outing with my kid's one day and I overheard a mom talking to her 3 year old daughter as she wiped her little girl's nose.

Life in an Empty Nest
The nest is more tidy, but it took about 2 weeks to get it that way after the last little birdie flew off. The refrigerator seems a little empty and I miss my youngest son's cooking adventures. I miss our conversations even more. It's a strange new reality after so many years with kids around.
