Raising Compassionate Children

Posted on by

I want my daughter to be a loving, compassionate human being. Not always the easiest thing to foster. Children are naturally selfish, it’s how they are wired, we have to teach them to be compassionate. As a single mother I try to remember that as long as my daughter is a good person people won’t remember if my house was clean. There are so many ways to teach kindness and compassion but really, children learn what they live, if you want them to be kind, model kindness. Do your kids tease each other? Of course they do, they are children. … Continue reading →

Learning By Example

My daughter is a quick study. She has been developing new skills and abilities at an almost alarming rate; much quicker than her brother did. She has always been an observer of all activity in her sight. I think a big part of her rapid growth is due to the example she receives from the children around her. My son never cared for toys as a baby but his sister loves toys. She likes to watch her big brother playing with all different kinds of toys and follows his example. At barely five months she was grabbing toys and discovering … Continue reading →

Becoming a New Kind of Mother

I am on a new venture…to become a new kind of mother. There is this realization that has hit me. It is that I can’t mother like I always have. You see, mothering your children when they are young is very different than when they become teenagers. They easily (so to speak) cross over into their new stage but in some ways, I’m still stuck in my old ways. How I parented when my children were in grade school just doesn’t work anymore. I guess you can call me a slow learner. It’s not easy learning how to be a … Continue reading →

Are You Trying to Live through Your Children?

Are you a mom who tries to live through her children? I know of a couple of moms like that. It actually makes me sad to see their children having to be and do what their moms want them to be and do. I think there may be a couple of reasons this happens. The one we are probably most familiar with is the mom who didn’t get to do the very things they are forcing their children to do. So they think that because they missed out on something, the same will happen to their children. But there is … Continue reading →

What Is Your Marriage Teaching Your Children?

An often overlooked area in a marriage is the influence it has upon the children. Have you ever really thought about the message you are sending your children concerning marriage? Marriage isn’t just about two people if you have children. Your marriage is a huge factor in decisions they will make in the future, including what to look for in a mate. How you treat your spouse speaks volumes to our children. If boys see their father as an overbearing, cruel husband…what do you think is going to happen when that little boy grows up? If girls see their mothers … Continue reading →

Dealing with a Bully in Kindergarten

I can hardly believe that I have to deal with a bully as early as kindergarten. My daughter comes home and tells me her “best friend” is mean to her just about every single day. Actually, no, not true. I just think the girl is being mean every day, she thinks she is mean only some days. Why do I think she is mean every day? Because the girl shows obvious signs of an abuser. One day, this bully will tell my daughter that her work is not good. For example, she will say, “What is wrong with your coloring? … Continue reading →

Signs of Dyslexia Start Before a Child Learns to Read

Posted on by

A study done in Italy found that signs that a child has dyslexia appear long before the child starts to learn how to read. Typically, in the United States, dyslexia is not considered until young children begin to learn to write and read. The Italian study found a new way to help with dyslexia. However, the treatment may not work with children who communicate in English. Dyslexia is a type of learning disability. A person who is dyslexic will have problems reading because his or her brain does not properly recognize and process certain symbols. Those symbols include letters of … Continue reading →
