Noisy Parents
Posted Wednesday, May 5, at 2:23 PM Noisy Parents Aren't Always The Best Parents One day at work I met this lady who appeared to be looking to start some trouble. She was complaining about this and complaining about that. She was screaming about what was fair and what wasn't. I was finally able to calm her down with my spectacular people skills. ...
Family Time Family Time The other day I was feeling a little blah. Life seemed rather plain and it was kind of bothering me. So I sat down and thought about what happens in my life on a regular day. I was able to break up my day into ten areas. It goes as follows:...
We Need to Interact With our Kids We Need to Interact With our Kids I love fall for one reason and one reason only, the weather. I love the cooler days and the colder nights. What I don't like about fall is that it signifies the end of the baseball season. I am really more of a spring kind of guy if you didn't already guess. ...
Parenting + Stress = Patience? Have any of you ever been in Walmart the day before Christmas? If your answer is no then consider yourself lucky because it is kind of how I would imagine hell. People are packed in the aisles like sardines and they all turn into angry procrastinators who are not able to remember their manners. ...
Take A Rip And Give It A Ride! The score was 8-3 in the last inning. With two outs already the home team wasn't feeling very confident, and then it happened. The next player up to bat got a base hit. Then the next guy got a hit and so did the next. The hit parade was on and things were becoming quite interesting. ...
Let's Make Some Changes America! Our economy is in troubled times. People are losing their jobs and looking to the government to bail them out. The government is scrambling to try and fix the problem but has that "Deer in a Headlight Look" and overcompensates with high dollar spending. ...
Verbal Abuse Is Common Among Us Verbal Abuse is Common Among Us I am sure that everyone has heard the very popular saying, "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me". Whoever said this must be emotionally numb. Getting hit by objects most definitely hurts and is not how I like to spend my free time, but usually the pain is temporary and the wounds heal. ...
Let's Wake Up and Appreciate What We Have! Appreciate Our Families This past summer I have become a big believer in that old saying "You don't know what you've got till it's gone". My wife and kids are visiting some family members and I am home all alone. When I heard that this was going to happen I was a little excited. ...
Talking- What A Novel Idea! Talking- What a Novel Idea One of the biggest causes of our problems in many aspects of our lives is the lack of ability to communicate effectively. We often like to use other forms of communicating such as yelling, screaming, threatening and even hitting. ...
Don't Be Dumb! Don't Be Dumb Many of you may have already seen this picture but for those of you who haven't I will try my best to explain it to you. There was a newspaper article discussing the noise level of jackhammers in a neighborhood. There was a lady who was pregnant and she was concerned that the loud noise would have a negative impact on her unborn child. ...
Focus On The Good Why do we solely focus on the bad? In the spring of 1998, my senior year in high school, I played the best baseball game of my entire life. I was 4 for 6 with the bat, including one homerun, one double, and two singles. Not to shabby for a skinny kid that was at the bottom of the batting order. ...
You Can't Be a Parent and a Friend Be Friendly But Not a Friend Hey, all you parents out there in newspaper reader land, I have a question. Is it possible to be a parent and a friend to your children at the same time? Let us think about this for a moment. First let's assign a definition to the word parent. ...
My Son A Ballerina!!!? A Father's Concern Be The Best Ballerina You Can Be Those people who know me are well aware of my love for sports. For those that didn't previously know that, well, now you know. When my wife and I go out to eat she tries to make sure that we don't go somewhere that has televisions showing a game because she knows my attention will not be where she wants it. ...
We Need To Be Good Examples Good Examples When I was a kid going to school math was really hard for me. Heck, who am I fooling; it is still hard for me. It took me a little longer to understand the new concepts that we would learn. While at school I could have the teacher help me, but when I would go home it was a different story. ...
Scaring Kids Into Good Behavior How many of us have ever said to our kids, "If you do that one more time I am going to _?" We all use different threats so I will leave it up to you to fill in the blank. How many of us have given our kids a warning such as this, only to find ourselves giving the same warning a few minutes later? Come on; let's see those hands because we are all guilty. If any of you are like me, you raised your right hand, left hand and are now sitting down attempting to raise both legs as well...

I am a school psychologist/counselor. I have been working in schools for 4 years. Part of that time as a school psychologist and most recently as an elementary school counselor. I have also worked in a program that was designed for children who were emotionally disturbed, or in other words children who displayed very challenging behaviors. I have a Master's degree in Psychology and an Education Specialist degree. I am currently finishing my certification for school counseling and working on becoming a licensed practicing counselor.
I am married and a parent of two beautiful and funny children. They keep me on my toes and provide a lot of stuff to blog about.
