My parenting resume: I'm no longer an entry-level mother
2012-05-10 15:53:00
During my sabbatical, as the sleepless nights and my lack of creative vision continued, I needed some kind of outlet for my twitchy typing fingers and decided to update my resume on LinkedIn to keep me busy.

<i>Time</i> Isn't The First To Feature 'Extreme Parenting'
2012-05-10 10:40:00
The shocking breastfeeding cover is the latest of several depictions of 'attachment' parenting.By Kara Warner <i>Time</i> magazine's May 2012 cover Photo: Time, Inc. Whether or not it was intended to cause immediate controversy, this week's Time magazine cover is the epitome of shock and awe. The photo depicts Los Angeles mother Jamie Lynne Grumet breastfeeding her 3-year-old son. Needless to say, the image is a striking one and has caused a media storm. As surprising as it may be to see a young mother breastfeeding her toddler, the story isn't as out-of-the-blue as it may seem. There have been several recent examples of the so-called "attachment" and "extreme" parenting that have popped up in the cultural zeitgeist. Here's what we've noticed: Celebs do it too "Gossip Girl" star Kelly Rutherford and "Big Bang Theory" actress Mayim Bialik both made headlines when they revealed publicly that they breastfed their toddlers; Rutherford even more so because sh...

Park Slope Parents Would Rather Ban Ice Cream Trucks Than Teach Kids About
2012-04-02 22:42:00
There is little that is more iconic than the rush of excitement that fills a child when their little ears first pick up the soft tinkling of "The Entertainer" from around the corner. Ah, the ice cream man. But kinds in the super-bougie Park Slope neighborhood will experience no such delight this summer, if area parents have anything to say about it. They've waged war against the cool treats. More »Post from: Blisstree

Penang Hill

An Example of Good Parenting
2012-02-10 18:27:00
I may piss people off with this one, but so be it. There’s a video that has gone viral. It has folks up in arms both for and against. I’m FOR. So here’s the video. And then I break down my thoughts below. *Warning: There is cussing, so no little kids – but hey… Have your teenagers watch it – we’re actually going to have our kids watch it, swearing and all. And the swearing actually comes from the teenager’s post, not the parent. My thoughts, which I posted as a comment on the video in a highly condensed fashion: I think posting this video on her wall is a stroke of genius. The folks whining about how embarrassing that is and shame on him? Um. Number one, she opened that door. Number two, he’s posting on her forum – meaning this is the way she communicates with the world. He’s doing it on her turf, in other words. That’s a greater impact, her friends may think twice about disrespecting their own parents, and it...

A study published online October 17, 2011 in the journal Pediatrics indicates that teens with social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, tend not to receive treatment for this psychiatric disorder because parents and teachers may assume the teens are just very shy.  But shyness is not even a prerequisite for the determination of social anxiety disorder....

Parenting Fail - 'R' Rated Movie Edition
2011-04-18 17:30:00
Tiny Baby Lady finally let me out of the house for a few hours this weekend to see Wes Craven's magnum opus, Scream IV.John and I plopped down in our usual seats and waited for the film to start.  While we munched on our M&Ms, a woman entered the theater followed by her three small children.  I mean, small. Like between the ages of three and seven small.  I thought about informing the woman that Rio was across the hall, but I didn't.  Because I didn't want to be that person.  Maybe her kids routinely watch violent movies.  Maybe they'd already seen Screams I-III, and had been waiting on pins and needles for months to see the latest installment.  Who...

Veronica (Mary Beth Fisher) and Michael (Keith Kupferer) invite the Raleigh's over for coffee and caflouti to discuss a disagreement between their two sons.No Laughing Matter. Chicago, Wednesday, March 16, 2011.  Yasmina Reza's triple Tony Award-winning "God of Carnage" that opened Monday at the Goodman Theatre takes its audience on a rollicking roller coaster ride of twists, dips and turns as it examines the very nature of human nature.   The 70-minute, no-intermission show is set in the living room of Veronica (Mary Beth Fisher) and Michael (Keith Kupferer)--a chic contemporary space filled with vases of tulips and many of Veronica's art books.  It seems that their eleven-year-old son has been "attacked" with a stick by the son of Annette...

Is the Chinese style of parenting better than the American way?
2011-01-13 03:11:00
Meet Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.  She has two daughters and her style of parenting strictly prohibits, among many other things, sleepovers, video games, television watching and any grade lower than an A.   Chua's daughters are also required to play either the piano or violin and practice for hours everyday.  As Chua says, "What Chinese parents understand is that nothing is fun until you're good at it."Chua also says that Chinese parents can call their children 'garbage,' say to their daughters 'Hey fatty - lose some weight' and 'You're lazy. All of your classmates are getting ahead of you.'Ouch!Chua says Western parents worry too much about their children's self-esteem.  Uh, not sure that's such a...
