New Elephant Crossing at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

As I write I can’t believe how much the the kiddo and I, with toddler in tow, have already done this summer.   Then when I think of how active they both are and what an even bigger mess my house would be if I kept them home everyday, I realize why.    We often go to the [...]

The hubby sent me this link in an email: Why Bribing Your Child Doesn’t Work My opiion after reading and reflecting was, it definitely seems that the well thought-out rewards and praise seem to work best.  I’m even surprised by the kiddo when he seems to want to do things like math and reading just to spend time [...]
