* Bullying *

This has been a current subject in our home! I have talked with my girls about the definition of a bully and how it can effect a person to be bullyed. I have read this entire brochure over and over so that I am prepared to help my child when she comes home from being bullied, or be prepared to talk with my child who is the bully! I am teaching my girls self-respect, I am letting my child know it's OK to express anger or dissatisfaction. I am teaching my kids to avoid body language, gestures, faces and words that put them in danger. I encourage them to have healthy friendships so that they are not alone at school or in our community! I am teaching my kids to communicate clearly, yet diplomatically. I am teaching them how and when to be assertive! I am teaching self-talk, so they can stand tall and develop a positive sense of self :) I am teaching them to walk away from situations with bullies, and that it's OK to ask for help!!!!

Helping my Kids

I came across some ways to assist my children in their homework and raising them to be responsible. I know parenting comes natural (LOL), but anything I can read to help assist me or teach me better ways I'm in :) Kassidee and Maddison are so different in so many ways, their personalities, looks, acts, handwriting, etc.... I love the fact that I can teach them in their own way of understanding and time frames! Both of my girls are SO smart and progressing so much, I hope I can continue to read parenting books, ways to better me as a parent because come junior high and high school I need to be able to support my children in hard times like understanding their math homework and how to write essays! Schooling is VERY important to me, and I will do whatever it takes to keep them interested and involved.....
