It happens every year.  Just when you are settled in to the lazy days of summer, you are startled to find Back to School catalogs in your mailbox and bikinis going on sale in favor of turtlenecks.  Your local store has devoted an entire aisle to pencils, notebooks, and lunch bags.  Soon there will be no more long days at the beach, late nights watching movies with popcorn, or mornings free of alarm clock jitters.  It?s enough to make you dread September, but it doesn?t need to be that way.  With a slight change in attitude and a plan in place, September can be one of the best months of the year.

10 Steps to School Year Success


End Homework Battles


Ask parents what their biggest school year challenge is, and you?ll likely hear that it is the difficulty they face in getting their kids to do homework.  With so many other attractive ways for kids to spend their time, getting them to buckle down and complete that extra bit of schoolwork can be like pulling teeth.  As with any chore, though, there are strategies you can use to get it done and make it more fun.

How to Stop Bad Behavior Before it Starts


Coping with a child?s bad behavior, perhaps more than any other aspect of parenting, can cause stress, family disfunction, and a general loss of harmony in your home.  Over time, negative behavior cycles can become ingrained in a family?s way of interacting with each other 1.  Be a Benevolent DictatorIn today?s times it is tempting to think of our family as a small Democracy, giving equal weight to the wants and needs of every member.  Families schedule meetings to discuss rules.  Negotiation is a skill learned even before tying shoes.  Rules apply only if children choose to obey them.  Giving children lots of choices seems to be of paramount importance.  Parents who operate these types of Democracies think that they are showing their children love and respect.  In fact, what these parents are showing their children is that they don?t have the fortitude to do what is right.

Teaching Children Good Manners


When my daughters were babies, we would take them wherever we went. If they began to fuss or cry, one of us would promptly remove them from the room/restaurant/market/wherever. Not because we felt their crying or fussing was a bad thing. No, it's a perfectly normal occurrence for infants and toddlers. We removed them as a courtesy to others who we felt did not need to be as tolerant as we were with our children's noise. In consequence, my daughters know that other people are not as wildly in love with their racket or with them as we are. Nor should they be expected to be. 

The Importance of Mothers


Moms, did you ever question your value as a role model, caretaker, administer of hugs and Band-Aids? I think we all have in today's climate of "do more, get more, have more." Many of us work to bring home a paycheck and others work for our sanity. Have you ever wondered if your children were better off with the baby sitter than you? Scientific studies are beginning to point to the overwhelming value of a mother's love, hugs and support. Nannies, baby-sitters and relatives are terrific. They just aren't as terrific as Mom. 

Back to School Feng Shui


Every school year parents and students dutifully trudge through the malls in search of the perfect sneaker or the cool new outfit for the coming school year. However, it?s unlikely that the new shoe or shirt will benefit them as much as a new design in the bedroom. That?s because a bedroom makeover will create new interest and energy ? what feng shui calls ?chi? ? in the bedroom that will benefit a child. According to feng shui, the Chinese technique for design and arrangement, rooms that have good energy, or ?chi?, create happier, well-adjusted children. Feng shui theories suggest that for a child?s room to have good ?chi,? the room must follow certain guidelines such as that they must be restful, promote good relationships others and generate good self-esteem. Perhaps most importantly, harmonious children?s bedrooms encourage good study habits and promote greater success in school.
