There’s no doubt social media has replaced conventional networking in the past decade. But how do parents manage their children’s requests to go online and post photos or connect with friends? Maybe one way to start slowly is to use social networking to showcase the artwork of your child. |

 Admit it- you’re elated that summer is winding down, and the kids are heading back to school. No no, seriously- YOU ARE ACTUALLY ECSTATIC; COMPLETELY THRILLED that you no longer have to scramble to configure the kind of schedule that summer months leave you and your beloved children. |

 Our home was invaded recently. The realization that a stranger had infiltrated our cozy compound struck me like a fist the instant I opened the door. Standing before me was a short, blonde, blue-eyed boy who resembled my three-year-old son, but something was amiss. Where was the joyful, playful, inquisitive young man I’d dropped off at daycare just nine hours earlier? My sweet, well-spoken child had devolved to a zombie-like clone of himself. A quick glance at his daily daycare report revealed what my wife and I had feared – naptime was over. |

| Managing Back-to-School Clutter |

 Dear Meg, I have such a problem with accumulating clutter, especially when the kids are in school. Then I have a trail of discarded clothes and backpacks. This is on top of our keys, daily mail, newspapers, etc. HELP! “Landing space” is the area in your home that serves as a catch all for whatever comes in from outside. Backpacks, keys, coats and mail are just a few of the many items that continue to leave and come back in each day. While some of these belongings end up staying close to the door, others travel to different parts of your home. |

Thomas Jefferson High School is the right choice for your gifted student? Einstein said, “I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.” The State of Virginia mandates differentiated instructional opportunities for gifted students in grades K – 12. In other words, they must provide the best conditions in which students at all levels can learn. The Virginia’s Governor’s School Program is a component of that mandate. |

| Why You should Enroll the Little One's in Swim Classes |

 You have spent your entire summer watching your children at swim practices, five days a week and swim meets at least one night a week and/or Saturday mornings. As parents, especially for your young, beginner swimmers, we want them to develop more skills for safety purposes as well as possible future competitive purposes. When children stop swimming after the summer or take a break from swim lessons, they lose their hard earned skills within 1-3 months. Next summer your children have to start all over again on their skills. As a parent what can you do in order to prevent this circle of re-learning instead of an incline and progression of continuous learning? Yearround swim lessons, one day a week (and for as little as thirty minutes) can be your the solution. |
