Late Night Parents

Velvet's twitching nose leads her to a cozy cottage, where she finds three freshly baked sugar cookies laid nicely on a plate labeled For Santa. Before she knows it, Velvet has gobbled up one of the sugar cookies. As she turns to leave, Velvet finds herself nose-to-boot with a familiar man dressed all in red. It's Santa Claus-and he doesn't look happy with what he sees.Velvet Learns a Lesson offers parents a magical opportunity to demonstrate the importance of obedience to young children. Remind your young ones that Santa's always watching with Velvet's whimsical adventure to the North Pole and back.

A busy mother herself, founder Jeannie Levedahl knows how convenient and meaningful a baby wrap can be.

Drawing from his own experience as a single father to three daughters, Chris exposes the courage and commitment engaged fathering requires, and calls upon all men to step up and take an active and valiant role in the lives of their children. While not every suggestion Chris offers may feel applicable to your circumstances, reading this book will certainly make you think long and hard about the role fathers can and should play in the lives of their children.This book gives you direct and clear direction for real-world fathering situations. My three children are adults now and they are flourishing in all areas of their lives. I hope the fathering tools and philosophies I have shared in Foxhole Father will be of benefit to your family. Please share your fathering stories and pictures with the Foxhole Father community at www.foxholefather.com . You can also send him questions and comments there. Chris looks forward to discussing fatherhood with you.”About the author: Christopher R. Whalen is a Certified Public Ac

When Kris Parmelee’s son was diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, her first response was denial. Then, fear. How could such a bright boy, who had learned to talk at such a young age, possibly be dyslexic?In the years that followed, Kris tried many techniques and therapies, worked with committed teachers and joined support groups in an effort to cope with young Sam’s dyslexia. While Sam has made great strides, Kris still noticed a gap.“Why were there not more assistive technology options for him to use in school?” she said. “Why couldn’t someone or something just help him read that one word on a worksheet or in a text that he couldn’t read himself?”Kristen researched an assistive technology app specifically designed to meet the needs of children with dyslexia at home, in the classroom and in the community. When a student comes across a word they can’t decode, they simply scan the word or sentence with their mobile device or tablet and the app “reads” the word back to them. The app aims to help students wi

With this week bringing yet another suicide of a transgender teen who felt unsupported by his family, I wanted to offer a source in case you’re working on anything related:Christine Connelly -- an author, CPA and director of BAGLY (our nation’s oldest and largest youth-led, LGBT organization) -- is both a transgender parent and daughter.She has experienced family rejection and alienation firsthand, and knows all too well that a simple touch of kindness, understanding and acceptance from family or friends can absolutely make a life-or-death difference to transgender individuals.She offers these tips for people with transgender loved-ones:Recognize that coming to terms with being transgender is usually profoundly difficult. As hard as it is for you to digest and accept your loved-one’s gender identity, it is infinitely more complex for him or her. Now more than ever, he or she needs your support.Understand that in opening up to you about his or her gender identity, s/he is a more honest person and is as des
