naptimeOur 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.

back to schoolDear 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!

While some of these belongings end up staying close to the door, others travel to different parts of your home.

swimYou 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.
