While doing my daily blog check-in, I came across four very different, but good articles on some of my favorite blogs. All of these are worth a read and don’t be shy about adding your 2 cents into the discussions either.
Parenting Teens highlights a Harvard Study on the Virginity Pledge and then questions the […]
We have never given our kids allowances. They have never asked either. But as they get older, I am beginning to think maybe we should - afterall, they really need to learn how to manage their money.
Here are my questions to you:
1. Do your kids get a regular allowance?
2. If so, how much?
3. At […]
Another school year is coming to a close and High Schools across the country are graduating another class. Many students have finished applying for college and already have their acceptance letters. But what about your teen? How do you know he or she is ready to make the jump to semi-independence?
Denise Witmer, the guide at […]
Teens with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are often given extra attention and help with academics and sports, but how about preparing them for life without daily monitoring by parents and teachers? How will these teens do once they are in the college dorms, have their own apartment or in the work force? As parents, we […]
This week’s edition of Newsweek magazine features a very interesting (and long) article called “Girls Gone Wild: What Are Celebs Teaching Kids?”

With three kids all with busy schedules, finding time to connect one-on-one with each of them can be a challenge.
My oldest is a boy and he is very independent, low maintenance and quiet. He is not one to speak out of turn, would rather read a book at meals, and can entertain himself for hours. […]
Good morning to all WearyParents! I am so excited to be taking the helm at WearyParent. I know I have some big shoes to fill, but I’m up to the task.
A little bit about me. My name is Char Polanosky and I am a Mother of 3, ages 10 (boy), 8 (girl) and 5 (girl). […]
Well, there are about a zillion things that you might want to protect your teens from and this is just one more. Apparently each time they color their hair, they should be doing a patch test. And yes, that is each and every time. I was just reading in an old issue of Allure that […]
It doesn’t matter if your kids are in their tween or teen years. When they hear the word snack mentioned, just watch them perk up. So, while you are providing them with snacks, you might as well make them healthy. ;) That part you don’t have to tell them. Actually most of them are so […]
