The Fourth of July -- the day when we celebrate the United States' independence. We wave our flags, march in parades, watch fireworks, and dress in the familiar red, white, and blue. This year, take some time to talk to your preschooler about more than just the picnics and the parades. If you don't have a map of the USA in your house, take this opportunity to put one up! Talk to your preschooler about the original thirteen colonies, the different states where you have friends and family, and where the president lives. Your children will also be fascinated by more detailed road maps of the localities where you live and where you will be traveling -- so much so that you may want to give them one of their own so that they can follow along with markers and stickers. For the very first geography and history lessons, there is no better place to begin than at home. Let's show our kids what they are celebrating this Independence Day! Read More »

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
The emotional atmosphere is highly charged today. With a little effort you can stay cool and calm so you can be there for your little one, as they may be going through a lot of changes or dealing with a difficult issue. Feelings can easily overrule your judgment today. Keep that in mind when you (perhaps literally) get worked up over spilt milk, or are looking at a pricey pair of new shoes. Think before you speak or spend.
