Making The Bus Monitor Cry

Making The Bus Monitor Cry

I just forced myself to watch all 10 minutes and 9 seconds of this video.

It was truly one of the most gut-wrenching experiences I have ever had.  My stomach started churning 10 seconds into the video.

I want to share my first and raw thoughts from the video and I would love to hear your reaction…

1. Bullying Should Not Be Ignored

The issue of Bullying is so complex.  When I think through, “How can I stop bullying?” It feels like someone just asked me to fit all the water from Niagra Falls in a milk jug.  It feels impossible.  But if you are tempted to think that the emphasis on Bullying is too much, just watch this video.  It has captivated the country because this emotional abuse is happening every day to kids.  We can’t stop educating and bringing attention to this subject no matter how overwhelming it might seem to find the solution.

FAQ Forum 1

FAQ Forum 1

Dear Parentzilla, 

I am nervous as a cat about school in the fall.  My son has such trouble keeping up with his homework and his assignments.  I try to teach him the importance of keeping up his grades but nothing seems to work.  

I hate to admit it, but I wish summer would last forever because once school starts so do the fights over school work. 

He almost failed a grade last year, and I don’t want him to fail this year.

Any suggestions?

Stressed Out,

Kim

 

Kim,

Thanks for writing.  I am excited to give you some of my thoughts on this, and I am also excited to hear what the rest of the Parentzilla community says as well about your situation.

Begin With The End in Mind

Begin With The End in Mind

I want to challenge you today to be a finish-line parent.

Take some time today to imagine the kind of responsible young adult that you would love to see your teenager become by the time they graduate.

If you want to read an oldie but a goodie book, you should check out Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  One of his habits is to “Begin With the End in Mind”.

That is a wonderful strategy for Parenting.

A Message to Teens: You’re Worth the Wait

A Message to Teens: You’re Worth the Wait

[Today we have a Guest Post from Elle at CleverlyChanging.com.  She is sharing with us a letter she wrote to her nieces and nephews]

Dear nieces and nephews,

You’re growing up and I want to share some messages with you from my heart. It is easier for me to write them down rather than call you, so today I am talking to you about why I believe abstinence is important.

As your aunt, I’m sure I could just leave it up to your parents to have this conversation with you; however, when you do talk to your parents, I will not be around to give you my personal input, so please listen up.

Is everyone doing it?
