The elementary school oral history project. One of the most loved or feared events in a young students life. Combining a keen understanding of the subject matter, a mastery of oratory skills, and acting in perhaps the Stanislavski method...

It seems only fitting that James (Age 9) came home with a bullroarer. The original Australians believed that the dream world was real and the time spent awake was a dream. Apparently James knows something about this...

Postal delivery is an amazing service. You can send anything you want anywhere in the world as long as it has enough postage. When you combine that with the power of the internet, you can have whatever you want from wherever you want dropped off at your door. Just as long as you are willing to wait...

No, not the little burgers they serve up at pubs. Not the strange Sci-Fi show about the people who travel the multiverse. The SLIders I speak of are those who suffer from the psychic event known as street lamp interference, or SLI...

As a parent I have made many mistakes. I know that if I had studied harder for the Parental Aptitude Test some of these mistakes could have been avoided. One of the areas I consistently score below average on is Discipline...

Please Note: This is NOT a fun post. As the news starts to tell us details of another senseless shooting, this time at an Ohio high school, I want to make an impassioned plea to gun manufacturers. Please add the following instructions to all packaging of guns and ammo...

Niet alleen volwassenen, maar nu ook onze kinderen worden te dik. Maar liefst één op acht kinderen is te zwaar en het aantal kinderen met obesitas blijft stijgen. Hun aantal verdubbelde gedurende de voorbije twintig jaar, en niets laat voorzien dat hier spoedig verandering in komt, integendeel. Wetenschappers zijn ervan overtuigd dat het aantal kinderen met overgewicht en obesitas zal blijven toenemen. Wat kun je er als ouders aan doen om overgewicht bij je kind te voorkomen en moeten nu ook onze kinderen op dieet?

What is it about a long car ride that brings out the best conversations in children? By best of course I mean completely inappropriate..

As today is my wedding anniversary I thought I would be true to type and do a romantic thing in a completely unromantic way. It's not that I'm not loving, far from it. I just seem to have a mental imbalance that causes me...

Heel wat kinderen maar ook volwassenen kampen met één of andere vorm van autisme. Deze neurologsiche aandoening is immers niet onder één of andere noemer te plaatsen. Een sluitende diagnose is dan ook niet in een handomdraai te stellen. Een specifieke behandeling tegen autisme is nog niet beschikbaar, de levenskwaliteit van autisten verbeteren is gelukkig wél mogelijk. Dat kan via het combineren van ondersteuning door een positief gedrag met verschillende therapiën als spraak- en fysische bezigheidstherapiën. Echte geneesmiddelen tegen autisme zijn nog niet beschikbaar, wel om neveneffecten als angst, depressie, hyperactiviteit en adhd te behandelen. Nu ontdekten wetenschappers dat heel wat autisten zouden kunnen geholpen worden met een speciaal dieet, bestaande uit een glutenvrije voeding. Wat zijn gluten, en hoe ziet zo'n dieet er uit.

Father's should not be allowed in grocery stores unless it is to buy beer. Or steak. Or beer and steak. I know a statement like that is gender limiting but there it is. I have almost twenty years of anecdotal evidence to this fact. Today was a prime example...

When I open my refrigerator I see the things that you'd expect to see like milk, eggs, and leftovers. Apparently when the kids open the fridge they see into another dimension or into a different plane of existence...

Most of us never look up. We spend our days running through our little maze trying to find our little bit of cheese. If we looked up perhaps we would see that the maze has no roof and that maybe our best way out of it is to climb upward...

Bruce Lee, the famous marital arts master once said "Out of Chaos, find simplicity, from discord, find harmony." He was a wise man. Albert Einstein, the famous theoretical physicists once said...
