Nov 15, 11 Idea: Princesses do Sh#% Coloring Book

Posted by in Being Dad

Let’s Talk about Spanking

I have two young kids, almost 4 and 5 years old now, that I spend most of my day with. And though they are wonderful kids, parenting has it’s share of ups and downs, particularly when it comes to discipline. Last week was one of those that I stopped to reflect at the end of the week and realized that we were having some...

Discussing Politics Constructively

Occasionally, via some easy-to-throw-out-a-politically-charged-topic channel like Facebook, a discussion will come up amongst otherwise thoughtful friends that will digress into meaningless banter arguing political talking points and no real engagement on the issues. It seems like such a missed opportunity, especially since a slower...

Talking to Kids About Water

Feb 28, 11 Talking to Kids About Water

Posted by in Blog

Last Friday, I had the good pleasure of talking to 400 elementary school students about the topic of water and the fact that 1.1 billion people in the world lack access to clean drinking water. I came as a ‘guest author’ and read from my book Clean Water for Elirose as well as used several hands-on activities to try and...
