Off it went and your Aunt was pleased at your thoughtfulness in your prompt and polite acknowledgment. Back in those days, all kids were taught from an early age to write their thank you notes within a day or two of receiving a gift. When you had a birthday party, Mom had a box of [...]
Now, I do realize that you may know the folks that literally live next door, or at least to some extent, but what about all the people who live near you? That’s a different story. Needless to say, there’s not really any possibility of learning the names and backgrounds of every individual that lives within [...]
For other children, they will change their mind by the minute as to what exactly they want on their cake. My own daughter, who will be celebrating the coming of age five, she can’t decide if she wants My Little Pony, Barbie or the Care Bears. In her opinion, she should have a birthday cake [...]

For example, if Mary went to summer camp with her sisters, the teacher can write out a few sentences about adventures at summer camp. [...]
However, if they see as many as just one of the Disney movies a week, that is two hours a week a parent has to take out of their time to make sure the movie is okay to view. That is just too much time. Though Disney movies are okay for the most part, each [...]
Computers and the Internet seem to have taken over daily life. This is because the world around us is changing, and if we don’t change with it, we may be missing out on many great advances. One of the first things that really got me hooked on the Internet was the availability of parenting sites. [...]
Some of these camps during the summer are simply and don’t really have a theme. They are usually put on by private companies or some religious groups or churches.
