Bright Horizons Early Education & Preschool, and Montessori Schools Helping Your Child Make Friends     Sep 12th, 2012
Beyond bribing our children's peers with candy or passes to the skate rink in an attempt to get other children to play with ours, can we really help our children make friends? Yes, by providing opportunities and gentle coaching rather than heavy handed intervention. Pushing our children in any area, especially to be more gregarious, isn't likely to work. Here are some ideas that may help: Gi… read full review here

Super WHY Live! Super Why Live     by Debi Gerhart - May 13th, 2013
We were so lucky to be able to review Super Why Live. My girls love the show on PBS and it is such a fun show, I certainly didn't mind seeing the show. They did an amazing job keeping the show fast moving, and I loved how they handled all of the flying and scene changes. On the show, the characters are known to fly at times, or have the scene shift to a different place in the story. The live show … read full review here

  One component of having a child in daycare, preschool, regular school, or attending extracurricular or summertime activities means labeling their items — clothing, lunch boxes, sports gear, swimming accessories, etc. Permanent markers can do the job, but aren’t always visible, and can sometimes be absorbed into the material and/or rub off.
