Why A Good Cry May Not Be So Good For You
Crying is a big part of being a parent -- oh I don't mean to imply that parents cry a lot (although let's face it, nothing will bring you to tears faster than seeing your child hurt or in pain). I mean that as parents, we deal with crying on a daily ...

Babies dig classical music
Whether or not you put any stock in the Mozart effect, classical music is a pleasure to listen to. A new study seems to indicate that you don't have to be a grown-up to think so, either. In tests, babies as young as five months old were found to be ...
A firstborn goes to kindergarten
Yesterday, I took my five-year-old for a back-to-school haircut. She'd decided she'd had enough of her long, straight hair and wanted a chin length bob. At home it seemed like a good idea, but when the stylist lifted her scissors to cut off that ...
The perils of being a Mama's boy
One of my worst physical characteristics are my hands. I have a disturbing, life-long habit of biting my fingernails, and the tattered ends are ragged, worn. Nolan noticed them very quickly one of my earliest memories of his first words encompasses ...Nanny, go home!
Nolan and I were on the plane the other day, and for the entire hour-long flight home, my son made fast friends with the flight attendants. "I go see Nanny!" he told them excitedly. They shared their crackers and cheese and offered warm towels for ...
My daughter will pose in photos again!
Around the time she turned two, Edan was a ham in front of the camera. We'd been learning about basic emotions, so she knew how to make a Happy Face, Sad Face, Angry Face, Surprised Face -- even Mafia Face (which, granted, isn't an emotion, but it ...The upside of single parenting
Two years ago, I expressed ignorant amazement to a friend of mine, a single Mother with a little girl. "I don't know how you do it," I said. I had just had Nolan, and the duties of new parenthood were fraying the very fibre of my soul. I was barely ...Prosecuting parents for insulting each other
Australian parents had better think twice before they start sniping at each other in front of the kids. Australian courts, recognizing the emotional damage that parents hurling insults at one another can have on young children, are moving to put a ...
Homesickness is really an illness
I didn't do much for my first semester of college. I was far away from home, at a school I didn't really want to go to and had trouble relating to my peers. My sleeping patterns became erratic, I quickly turned from a social butterfly to an ...
The merging of households: Knowing one's roots
Since moving in with my mother over the summer, a few things have come to light. One of the most obvious is the fact that she rises far too early in the morning. Another is the fact that I have found the one person on the earth with whom I share so ...
Kids with pets are less stressed
It always seems like a good idea: I bring my two small children somewhere where there is a dog as a pet and the next thing I know, I'm thinking "gee, we should get a pet!" Except, I want it to be one of those poopless, no-worries type of pets. ...
How to handle an inappropriate comment?
Last night while walking with my son and his 8th grade class to a nearby pizza establishment, I fell into step with one of my son's peers. He said to me, "No offense, but I think you and Loren (my son) have an abnormal relationship. But really, no ...
Responding to music during toddlerhood
My 22 month-old, Devon, gets excited when he hears some kinds of music. He will, in fact, listen over and over again to some songs until the rest of us want to scream. Recently, a number of contributors to the Annals of the New York Academy of ...
Blogging Baby Size 6: post baby surprises
I read voraciously when I was pregnant. I read the books with the demure matronly woman in the rocking chair, I read the book that was supposed to give me the dirt on all the real truths about new Motherhood. But, post baby, there were so many things ...
