In 1907, Anna M Jarvis, to ease her grief, proposed and then organized an annual remembrance for her mother who had passed on into loving memory. It was a special memorial service that was to honor her mother with five hundred carnations-her mother's favorite flower-made into corsages.

Miss Jarvis worked, for the next seven years, to create a national holiday honoring mothers. On May 8, 1914 Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in May "Mother's Day," urging an annual "public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country."

Very quickly the day became a commercial event. Anna Jarvis spent the rest of her life fighting the commercialism of this holiday that was so dear to her heart. She wrote countless letters, articles and pamphlets arguing that the holiday had been intended to inspire thoughtful, loving gestures-"through some distinct act of kindness, visit, letter, a gift or tribute to show remembrance of the mother to whom general affection is due."

Although Mother's day ended up disappointing Anna Jarvis, she did give us a beautiful day full of reflection. Keep Reading at: http://www.examiner.com/x-2016-Parenting--Education-Examiner~y2010m5d7-Mothers-Day-Family-Fun

Spring weather can be a challenge for parents; it can be sunny, it can rain, or snow, all in the same week. Active children love to run and play outdoors, but when the weather conditions change from day to day and they need to limit their outdoor activities children tend to get antsy.

Although, children do need to learn that it is not the weather that makes them moody, it is their attitude toward the weather. A special plan for when the weather is tempestuous will be a colossal advantage to both parents and children. Special treats and activities that are enjoyed only on stormy days pass the hours pleasantly while your children are cooped up indoors.

Create a stormy day box which is filled with treasures and inspirations to occupy children. Special paper, glitter, paint, crayons, Popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, craft books, all the elements you already have in your household.

Dating back to the fourteenth century Hot Cross Buns have been a part of Good Fridays. According to legend, on Good Friday the poor would visit abbey kitchens, where monks would give them a spicy currant bun with iced crosses. These Hot Crossed buns were considered blessed and believed to impart powerful protection.

By the eighteenth century, their popularity had grown and English street vendors would sell them by the bushel on Good Friday. Today hot cross buns are sold in bakeries throughout the season of Lent. This simple recipe can be whipped up for family and served with your favorite tea.

You exemplify that good educators are good every day, no matter what is going on. The past weeks you have continued to teach, you have kept children a priority. As our government bails out corporations and allows schools to close. I walk into your classrooms and you are listening with your head and your heart, you acknowledge the wonders and wonder right along with your students.

While America sends billions to other countries, you are loosing your jobs. Still, you are intentional with your words and lessons as you teach not just the answers in a book, but the child. You share the treasures that took generations of educators' years to acquire. Your science is not just the subjects and the age of your students but how best to teach, what is the best instruction.

Each day you take the time to acknowledge passions and build a bridge to connect what children need to know with what they love. You support their curiosity, and never forget to celebrate accomplishments, no matter how small in each student. You truly have built a community. You do keep individual children's need above "Race to the Top" requirements.Keep Reading at: http://www.examiner.com/x-2016-Parenting--Education-Examiner~y2010m3d13-Respect-To-American-Teachers

Admire their hard work!

Find something to marvel at. Even the neediest writing has something to appreciate. It might be a wonderful idea for a story. It might make you laugh or touch your heart. You might rave about the beginning, a beautifully written sentence, paragraph, ending. Maybe you want to share the amazing picture their words created in your mind, or memory it touched. Be enthusiastic!

It is your child's work!

Your child should have total control over their work. If you tell them what they should say or how something should be written, what you are telling your child they are not capable of doing it themselves. Ultimately, any changes done to work should be their choice. You can gently ask them to clarify, or tell them you are a bit confused about a part. Ask them to explain it to you, and then praise how they explained it, wonder with them if they could go back and change it, using the fantastic language they used when they were explaining. What are important facts for your reader? Can you sparkle it up with your exiting words?

The kitchen is fascinating place for children. Pots on the stove, yummy smells make their tummy growl. It is intriguing how cakes rise, cookies bake and dinners come together. Cooking with children motivates and empowers them to develop healthy eating habits through hands-on learning with fresh, affordable foods that build family traditions.

Children love to be part of the hustle and bustle in the kitchen let them help out with small tasks, like stirring something or setting the table. School age kids can be taught how to crack eggs, measure ingredients. Give teens their own night to cook, tell them they can choose the dish and you'll help prepare it with them.

There are countless benefits to this time together and some wonderful cookbooks!

In helping our children to become motivated to learn, we need to present ideas and responsibilities in terms of our children’s unique needs. Sometimes it is hard to remember that our children act out of their needs not ours. It is important to start with our child’s feelings, why are they resisting, withdrawing, or why do they not do what others expect of them.

First as parents we need to:
Rule out any physical causes,-vision, hearing…etc
Then check overall emotional stresses, distractions and obstacles
(Family doctors may be of help with this.)

Once you have ruled out physical and emotional needs then begin your tender detective work in discovering what is blocking your child from essentially being ready to learn.
• Is it to get attention? -Getting others to help is a way to get attention.
• Is it easier? -Withdrawing may be easier than filling other’s expectation.
• Is it depression? -The feeling of being misunderstood or gloomy.
• Is it coping mechanism?-Easier for teachers and parents not to expect too much...
• Is it to gain peer acceptance?-The clown, the bad one etc…
• Is it a way of rebelling? –Passively wins by refusing to learn.
• Is it to save his ego? –Can’t fail and avoids risk if he doesn’t try.
• Is it a power struggle? –With parents, teachers…keep reading at: http://www.examiner.com/x-2016-Parenting--Education-Examiner~y2010m2d15-Between-potential-and-performance-is-motivation

As our children grow we want to stay part of their lives. One way is to validate who they are as people, that what they feel and believe in is reasonable and meaningful, show your children they are valued.

The best way to do this is through communication. The older our children become the more difficult this becomes, because we cannot force communication with our children.

What we can do is cultivate communication by sharing our own feelings and values. Sharing your feelings builds trust that encourages children to reciprocate. That doesn't mean we use our children as a "dumping ground." Haphazardly throwing our negative feelings on them without regard for the effect they might have does not create trust.

It is sharing not only positive feelings, but some more heartbreaking ones, fear hurt or embarrassment, you allow your children to see you as human. It helps if you let it be known that you are not perfect, that sometimes you fail, and then, you pick yourself up dust yourself off and move on. If your children cannot see you as a safe person to reveal their emotions to if they know you are covering up your own feelings, that you have never had to overcome anything in life, in fact it can breed distrust. If your child sees that you are comfortable with your own feelings, truthful and honest, they will be more comfortable to trust you with theirs.

Valentine school parties will warm the hearts of elementary schools around the country this week. They are simple and easy to organize, even at the last minute.

You need parents that are willing to be on duty for an hour or so. Plus parents who can’t be there but are willing to send in items.

Divide up the party into four sections: Food, Craft, Game, and opening Valentine Cards.Keep Reading at: http://www.examiner.com/x-2016-Parenting--Education-Examiner~y2010m2d7-Valentine-day-class-party-ideas-101
