A Lesson Not Just for the Dogs
When it came to having a puppy, I wanted to eliminate the potential for puppy puddles, not just reduce them.
Gold-Medal Parenting
When everything seems upside down, our kids are looking to us so they can stick the landing.
Perfection
When it comes to performance, my kids know what we expect: their best in the classroom and on the field or gymnastics floor. Unfortunately, I think I may have convinced them that their “best” has to be perfection.
Social Media
“There, for anyone to see on her public Facebook account, were all of the embarrassing moments from my childhood: The letter I wrote to the tooth fairy when I was five years old, pictures of me crying when I was a toddler, and even vacation pictures of me when I was 12 and 13 that I had no knowledge of. It seemed that my entire life was documented on her Facebook account, and for 13 years, I had no idea.”
What is The EDGE?
The EDGE is the education department of the The Care Center, Rhea County’s local pregnancy help medical clinic. While The Care Center provides pregnancy testing and limited ultrasound, as well as material support, The EDGE’s focus is students in the classroom.
Success Sequence
A study from the Institute for Family Studies reported that 97% of millennials that followed the success sequence are not “poor,” with 86% being at least middle class. The study looked at racial disparity as well, and found that only 39% percent of African Americans that have a child out of wedlock are middle-income or better, compared to 76% of those who married prior to having children. And growing up in poverty was considered as well. Only 9% of those who grew up in a low-income found themselves in the same situation if they followed the success sequence. However, of those who missed all three parts, nearly 60% live in poverty.
