Explaining Gay Pride
My mind is still spinning from the provocative article, See Baby Discriminate, featured in Newsweek a few weeks ago. The authors challenged my intuition in regards to racial attitudes .
Basically, they suggest that it is critical to speak with children about racial differences in order to ensure a less divisive attitude. Simply exposing your children in meaningful a

Who's walking whom?
My dog and I went for a run this morning on a popular wooded trail. I was struck by the different management styles of dog owners and wondered if it might parallel with their parenting styles.
Running on the trail, there were some owners who walked their less obedient dogs off to the side of the trail so as not to disturb the people passing. Some owners continued to walk while maintaining some control over their dogs. Other owners

Intentional or intensive parenting?
I'm enjoying a moment of tired children and early bedtimes. Yes, I was gifted with an unexpected 30 minutes of quiet this evening and had the pleasure of exploring the website Babble. There are some interesting parenting articles there, but tonight I had the unfamiliar pleasure of finding a provocative parenting article.
The author, Katie Allison Granju, articulates the dichotomy of modern day paren… Continue

How to effectively praise your child
We all want our children to feel successful, capable, and confident. Children look to the adults in their lives for emotional cues, beginning as infants. Before the autonomic nervous system has developed, the baby looks to her primary caregiver for cues on her emotional state (arousal, recuperation, fight or flight, etc). Since we are often looked to for these cues by our children, how can we consciously take advantage of this situation by finding authen

ECHOage said… - Hi Emily - thanks for your note. After I read your note, I went onto your Blog and read a little more about you! I too am a big fan of Montessori. In addition to being a Montessori kid myself, I have one child still in Montessori and a daughter who left Montessori for grade 4 to go to an IB school which she loves. I even have a brother, who after doing his Montessori training in Bergamo opened his own Montessori school.
If you don't mind, I am going to send him the link to your website. You might also be interested in receiving his monthly e-newsletter as they are well written and thoughtful. Here is his website: http://www.dundasvalleymontessori.ca/
Last but not least - I enjoyed your b-day post and couldn't agree more. We took 3 girls camping for my daughter's 10th b-day and one of them said it was the best b-day party she had ever been to.
Your blog posts would be a perfect fit for the "Brilliant Bloggers" site on ECHOage.com - you have to join ECHOage, but we get a fair bit of traffic to our site.
Cheers,
Roz

Elizabeth Shugg said… - Hi Emily,
I'm writing to introduce you to a new website I launched for Triangle parents a little over a year ago. Triangle TRACKS, located online at www.triangletracks.com, is an acronym for "Tools, Resources and Activities for Carolina Kids." As a local mom of three and a former magazine editor, I've come across lots of great resources for kids in the Triangle region, so I decided to put them all on ONE website for local families to use. Triangle TRACKS is also a social networking site for parents, so those who join can post blogs, forums, calendar events and other information for other parents to see. I also issue a free, monthly e-newsletter filled with children’s events and resources planned for that month. Let me know if you’d like to subscribe.
Due to the success of Triangle TRACKS, I started Charlotte TRACKS at www.charlottetracks.com for parents in the Charlotte region last month. I’m hoping it will achieve the same success as Triangle TRACKS.
I wanted to reach out to you to find out if you could let your Triangle friends know about this site via email, Twitter or other social networking sites you belong to. And if you get a chance, let me know what you think of Triangle TRACKS.
By the way, my Twitter URL is http://twitter.com/triangletracks.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Shugg
