My daughter's first language is English. My intention was for her to learn English first, teach her to read and write in English, then once she's fluent in both written and spoken English, I'll teach her

My daughter is a certified bookworm. I had intended for her to get hooked on books ever since she was still in my belly. As she is growing up, I knew I wanted her to love reading because it also follows

Fail means First Attempt In Learning. This is what is written on the first page of my daughter's Fail Kit book. I received a free copy of this book from Elaine Haren - Parenting Coach last year. We worked

Today is Earth day. I'd say happy Earth day, but with what's happening right now, I don't think Mother Earth is happy at all. Why would she be happy? Her seas are riddled with trash, her mountains are

Our school year is almost over, we're going to have our 4th quarter exams next week actually. All through out the year, we went to field trips, planned and unplanned. Yesterday, we went to another unplanned

My daughter is "in between books" right now. She has read all of the books she bought for this year but couldn't buy a new one because she has bought a lot of books already. A friend of mine

I used to dread arts. When I was a kid and we have an assignment that involved drawing, I do everything in my power to dodge that. I'd do a classmate's assignment for them in exchange for them making my
