Distraction Tactics: Comforting a Child Who Is Not Your Own
Occasionally, or even fairly frequently, I have in my care someone else's child. Occasionally, though thankfully not as frequently, someone else's child discovers she misses her own mother, or is in some other way suffering malaise, boredom, or ...
Fun Family Activity: A Nature Walk Around the Block
When you're two-and-a-half feet tall and have only recently begun practicing the art of upright mobilization, the smallest of adventures qualify as epic journeys of discovery. Is it sunny, windy, rainy or snowy? Matters not. The world awaits, and ...
Texting - Kids Can't Walk and Talk at the Same Time
We already know that teens, texting, and driving don't mix. (My van was rear-ended by a texting teen last year, who claimed he "didn't see me there." Or, apparently, the 20 cars who were also stopped at the red light in front of me.) But a new ...
Gwyneth Paltrow takes Apple for a ride

Do you jaywalk?
Sometimes, the stories here at ParentDish only serve to generate more questions. I wrote about a New Jersey police department that was cracking down on jaywalkers and handing out tickets to middle school kids. That got me thinking and I realized ...
Jaywalking is a naughty thing
When I was a kid, nobody ever thought twice about jaywalking. You checked for cars, made sure they couldn't get you, and crossed. In the middle of the block, against the light, whatever. Then I got "pulled over," if you will, over in a smaller town ...UK considers banning cars from school zones
Our friends over at Auto Blog are all about the cars. We, of course, are all about the kids. When cars and kids collide - well, that's a bad thing. Surprisingly, that's not the reason the UK's Institute for European Environmental Policy is looking ...
Marching to our own drum
Depending on who you ask, Sara will be described as a spitfire, a yenta, a devil child, or a handful. I just say she's independent. However you describe her, however, going out with her can be a challenge. She wants to go her way and that's not ...
Would you wear heels to the zoo?
I am continuously amazed when I see women wearing high heels to places like the zoo that require a lot of walking. Mind you, I don't mind in the least -- I enjoy the sight of a well-dressed woman and heels do stretch and shape the calves and thighs ...
