Six Secrets For Your Son’s Success In School

‘Let’s face it; I’m stupid. You know it, I know it, and my parents know it!”
These words were spoken in anguish and anger to me by Chad, a 12-year-old student in my office back when I was a principal. He reflected a profound problem that I could no longer ignore. I had seen too many boys who did not succeed in school.

I knew he was not stupid, and his parents saw him as a smart, if unfocused, child. But our opinions no longer mattered. His experience in school had convinced him otherwise. He dropped out a few years later and I was saddened, but not surprised.

Shock and Awe

It has been a tragic weekend for the film industry: we lost one of the most talented actors of our generation, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Dylan Farrow, film director Woody Allen’s adoptive daughter came out with some harrowing news. I felt compelled to weigh in briefly on these two serious matters.

Would You Stay With A Cheating Spouse?

Saturday morning my three men were cuddled in my bed (like every single morning of our lives), and I came downstairs quickly to make myself a cup of coffee. I opened our front door in my cozy bathrobe and slippers and brought in the newspaper (again, like every morning), and took a quick glance to see if anything looked interesting. I then came across a headline that caught my attention. It was an article from The London Daily Telegraph.

It read: Sad state of affairs? Best to turn the other cheek. An extramarital relationship can end in divorce, but forgiving may be less painful. Women’s radar tells them when their partner is having an affair, but “there’s this unspoken agreement” not to find out, French psychologist Maryse Vaillant says.

Dealing With The “Boss From Hell”

We’ve all heard of ’em… THE BOSS FROM HELL! Screaming and yelling in an open office environment, placing unrealistic expectations on employees, taking credit for the success and accomplishments of others, constant criticism and denigration of employees, working employees until all hours of the night, lack of appreciation. The list of goes on and on.

Perhaps you’ve had one in the past. Perhaps you’re dealing with one now. Regardless of your current situation, bosses are a part of life, and if you’re lucky enough to have a great one, GREAT FOR YOU! If you are like the majority of the population who hate their bosses, “welcome to the club,” as they say.

#YOLO: The Modern Day Bailout?

On yesterday’s weekly parenting segment for Global TV, I talked about the expression #YOLO: A term most often used by the younger generation, AKA “You Only Live Once.”

I encourage you to watch it, and then I ask you the ON THE FENCE question of the day: Is the term YOLO (You Only Live Once) teaching our kids to live in the moment and enjoy life, or is it encouraging our kids to throw in the towel on smart decision making? Is YOLO giving our kids an excuse to act “stupid” and irresponsible?

Wordless Wednesday: #JuicingFail

So yesterday, I held myself accountable to my ONE New Year’s resolution – which was to become more domesticated. Please refrain from laughter. While you might already be Miss Martha Stewart in action, I am not. After doing my first-ever “Brazilian Body” class at the gym, I felt motivated. So I walked into the grocery store across the street and decided I was going to make my own green juice. You know, cuz it looks idiot-proof. And why should I keep buying the juices when I can make my own? How hard can it be to throw 5 veggies in a juicer? I found a recipe online from a reliable source, and I was ready to go.
And things looked so promising. Kale, parsley, lime, apples, cucumbers. The “healthy complexion” juice.

Disney’s Magic

With Spring Break around the corner, there is no better time than now to start thinking about making your children’s dreams come true. I have been lucky enough to have saved up and visited both Disneyland in California and Disney World in Orlando. The trips were a dream come true for parents and kids. Both were absolutely magical.
