Two days ago, I got so angry with my boy that I over reacted and behaved terribly. I wouldn’t go into details here but after what happened, I felt that I had done badly as a mom. He repeatedly did something wrong and I lost my cool. It took for two days to get over […]

Everyday, I feel like my three year old is learning more and talking better. He can even negotiate and give orders like us which reminds me that active listening and communication with our children should start at an early age.

how much is too much?
March 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment
There’s this question that’s always flashing in my head: Should your child go for the football practice 5 days a week? Are 3 days enough? It is common for parents to be a little confused when it comes to deciding how much is too much with reference to after school activities. They argue that since […]
