Oh what irony is right...but these tech tools to unplug do appear to be on target for the goal. I can't wait to test them out!

Re: It's time to bring basketball back to the Winter Olympics.

You have a good point. How are they going to nix one of the original Olympic sports? It's time to redefine the winter Olympics as either the "cold" Olympics considering all of the sports are on snow or ice, or start including some winter sports that aren't so cold like wrestling and basketball.

Just knowing that eating meals together can have so many positive developmental implications for our children motivates me to get out the meal planner.

Well look at you Uncle Wilbur! Thanks for the congrats! We're already seeing his greatness at 7 weeks, although I'm sure all parents think the same about their little ones.

Re: Testing Mobile Posting

The only issue I have with this is that it didn't update my tags and category. I can live with that though. It's still better than paying for a virtual server and another separate software only to have the trouble using all of it anyway. I posted from my phone, it was fast and easy!

Exactly! Not to mention the fact that if ALL of the schools were good schools, we wouldn't have this problem.

Re: A Mother Blogs About Loving one Child More Than Another - Super Parenting Social Network

I agree, it's very sad. There's a great book that we refer to in our book SUPER Parenting: Raising the Next Generation, called the Five Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell, MD, that details how to love our children according to their love language. Each child likes to receive and give love in different ways and it's important, just as you stated Kristen, to give love according to each child's needs. I would definitely recommend reading both books for more information. Especially since children need to know and feel unconditional love from their parents because it is their greatest emotional need (Chapman & Campbell, 2005).

Re: Are You An Armchair Creative?

Olympia Scott — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 17:26:45 -0000

Interestingly, I often do this. When I need inspiration or direction, I relax, comfortably and go into a meditative state. I've gotten some of my best ideas in these moments, leading me to believe that this is a necessary part of the creative process. Sitting back, opening up and allowing inspiration to naturally manifest, from the depths of your mind or from the heavens, whichever you believe. Either way, the creativity flows.

I've literally caught myself mid-sentence, thinking, if that didn't sound just like my mom. I suppose it's inevitable. I don't mind it though, as long as I'm imitating the good aspects of my parents' parenting style.

Re: Extreme Parenting 'Radical Unschooling' ABC News - Super Parenting Social Network

Olympia Scott — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 17:41:09 -0000

To me, this sounds more like a permissive parenting style, which studies show is less effective than both an authoritative or authoritarian style. Although these parents may be well-meaning, there's a reason for the use of the old adage 'spare the rod spoil the child', because children need structure, rules, and to learn to participate in the larger community according to social norms that dictate that the world doesn't revolve around them. By acting on the whims of their children, they are stifling their growth in these areas. I hope this trend doesn't catch on because the last thing we need is to start spoiling our children even more than we are already doing now.
