Is that Fair?
Happy Birthday Peter: 50 Years of The Snowy Day
In the muggy heat of the summer of 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the now famous “I Have a Dream” speech. He spoke of his dream for a future where children of all races could walk together and “not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. This speech, this man, and this movement are all iconic pieces of American History.
The Secret to Potty Training…..
Whenever I start to feel guilty about the fact that I spent the majority of my Christmas vacation wearing my pajamas, I remind myself that I did in fact accomplish something very monumental, right there in my worn-out flannel bottoms and time-softened jersey shirt. Well, rather, I should say my son accomplished something very monumental. We cleared the first hurdle of potty-training.
At The Organized Parent: Remembering the “Perfectly Ordinary Days”
Perhaps there’s something about this time of year that’s causing me to be a bit more sentimental. Or maybe it’s simply a job hazard of motherhood.

The Real Work of Parenthood
I just taught my first session of training classes based on my ebook, Parenting with Positive Guidance: Building Discipline from the Inside Out. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussions we had and hope the group is enjoying it as well.
Is Zero-Tolerance a Form of Discrimination?
I attended a staff meeting recently where we discussed the prevalent zero-tolerance policies in schools today, and the trickle down effect it has on preschools. We had read some interesting articles in advance (which you can find here, here, and here) and used those as a springboard to talk about the variety of policies schools implement to address difficult behaviors.
A Toddler, a Tantrum, and a Fire Truck. Lessons from the Trenches.
As I’ve mentioned many times before, just because I teach and write about guiding behavior, doesn’t mean we don’t have our fair share of emotional upheavals in our own home. My boys cry, fight, and throw fits. In a word, they’re “normal”.
