Giving Tuesday was created to transform how people think about, talk about and participate in the giving season. It has become an international movement around the holidays dedicated to giving, in the same way that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now synonymous with holiday shopping. After the frenzied commercialism of Black Friday sales (that now […]

One of my twin daughters has always been a worrier, she is one of those children who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders and she wants to know and understand everything.

INDIA: Of Sleepless Nights and Hard-won Patience

Piya Mukherjee — Wed, 07 Dec 2016 03:44:22 +0000

The happy story of motherhood invariably begins with one little discordant note. Amidst the congratulations from friends and family and the heady feeling of having reached a life-transforming milestone, one thing that invariably goes unmentioned to new mothers is that sleep will become the most precious thing in their lives, second only to the newborn […]

UK: Parents – Whose Story are you Sharing Online?

Michelle Pannell — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 06:00:07 +0000

It’s a very different world that my children are growing up in now than when I was a child in the 1970’s and 80’s. As a young teenager I would be sat in my room with walls covered in posters ripped out of Smash Hits magazine and I’d be listening to the radio or maybe […]

Kirsten Doyle (Canada) — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 04:55:05 +0000

In the wake of the devastating tragedy that struck Orlando early on Sunday morning, I have seen and heard all of the usual arguments. Gun control activists are insisting that America has a gun problem, gun rights activists are denying that America has a gun problem, conspiracy theorists are perpetuating all kinds of bizarre stories, […]

If you’re a parent, or a child, or anyone, you may have heard the phrase. “It takes a village” (to raise a child). After reading a post written by a fellow contributor, KC, I remained in thought about this village that’s needed to raise our children. KC is currently a stay-home-mum to a precious toddler, […]

USA: Cooking with Kids

Ewa Samples — Fri, 13 May 2016 05:00:57 +0000

Cooking with kids is one of my favorite activities. I have to admit, I don’t do it often enough. Mostly because of the limited space in our kitchen where two is a crowd. My parents would let us kids into the kitchen as often as they could. We were cooking family dinners at very young […]

USA: Meditating With My Terrible Two

To-Wen Tseng — Fri, 06 May 2016 05:00:02 +0000

When meditation became the big thing last year, just like yoga in the 1970s, my editor at Taiwan’s Commonwealth Parenting Magazine wanted me to write a piece about meditating with children. So I interviewed Jeff Zlotnik of Meditation Initiative for this assignment. He told me that kids can begin to practice meditation at the […]
