    My son is being teased about liking a girl. How can I help him? It is important that you talk to your son and ask him what happened. Try to find out who is doing the teasing and how long it has been going on. You want your son to know that his feelings matter to you, so be sure to ask him how it makes him feel when he is being teased. Reassure him that there is nothing wrong with liking a girl and ...

    How can I introduce Black History Month to my son? A great way to introduce Black History Month to your son is to talk to him about influential African Americans, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, and how they worked very hard to make the world a better place. You can share with him that many years ago, the United States was a very different place. People were treated diff...

    What are some other ways to encourage reading beyond books for young grade schoolers? While reading to children is one of the best ways to encourage an interest in reading, there are many fun ways to encourage reading beyond books. One of my favorite ways is through storytelling. Eeboo’s “Write Me a Story” helps children create their own stories by providing them with beautifully illustrated stickers that can be placed ...

    What are some ways to help our grade schooler write our family story? A fun way to create a family story is to make a family tree. You can add photos or ask your child to draw a picture of each family member then write one sentence under each person. Talk about each family member and how they are related to you, and share special memories you have shared together. Another fun way to create your family st...

    My daughter loves science. How can I keep her interested? Education research shows that while boys and girls are equally interested in science at an early age, by the time girls are 12 or 13, many girls begin to lose interest in science. To keep your daughter interested, provide her with as many science-related opportunities as you can. For example, take her to science museums or zoos and loo...

    How can I help my 6-year-old daughter understand the importance of being yourself? Giving your daughter the confidence to be herself is one of the greatest gifts you can give her. It is important for her to understand that she shouldn’t be ashamed of her intelligence or pretend to be someone she is not. Being smart is something to be proud of, not hide. You can help your daughter by making sure she has strong female ...

    At what age can my son be counted on to care for pets? Looking after a pet is a big responsibility, and while young children may be able to help care for a family pet by feeding the cat or walking the dog, they are not developmentally ready to take on the sole responsibility of looking after a pet until they are older. Pets do offer the perfect opportunity for grade school aged children to...

    My daughter wants to be liked, and sometimes kids take advantage of her generosity. How can I teach her to stand up for herself? As parents, we want our children to feel that they belong. We teach them to be kind and generous, but they also need to learn how to set boundaries so that others do not take advantage of them. The difficulty lies is teaching your daughter the difference between being assertive (telling people what she wants) and being aggressive (impo...

    What can I do to encourage my child's interest in history? There are a number of ways to encourage your child’s interest in history. Make history relatable by sharing your own family history with your child. Share fun memories of the people and places in your childhood, and encourage your child to talk about his/her favorite memories as well. Read about people and events that have made a diffe...

    My child's writing homework is dull. How do I keep her inspired? Every great story deserves a cover. Celebrate your child's writing successes by helping him/her add durable covers that will decorate and preserve his/her work. You might purchase plastic covers or prompt your child to make covers out of manila folders, construction paper, or posterboard.
