Happy World Book Day

Just wishing you a wonderful World Book Day.  What a wonderful opportunity to pull our children close and share a good story.  Make time to create a special memory with those you love.  If you don't have a book handy, use the time to share one of your favorite stories you read as a child or a young adult.  Share the excitement you felt in reading or exploring a new world through the pages of a book.  Good stories never grow old.  Maybe today is your chance to tell someone your own story, your own life adventures.  However you spend your day, to it with someone you care about.

Effects of Daycare on Children

   Ever since women entered the workforce, the great daycare debate has raged on. Parents, scholars and politicians have argued the pros and cons of external childcare facilities until families are absolutely certain placing their child in daycare results in either an infant prodigy or a teenage delinquent.  As with any issue, the truth has been found to be somewhere in between. Daycare can be a tremendous opportunity for a young child to learn social skills, expand their vocabulary and learn to function as an individual away from their parents; constant interaction with their peers allows them to develop a respect for the opinions and emotions of others, learn the value of teamwork, and to form friendships that will often carry into their school years. They are also given an opportunity to gain basic academic skills at an earlier age and adapt to the more rigid structure of a classroom environment prior to entering Kindergarten, easing what is often a difficult transition for childr

My First 2 Weeks Working From Home

Image
With my employment of the past 9 years ending December 31, 2017,  I find myself with the challenge of trying to work from home with two active, loving children who want my undivided attention.  .My focus these first two weeks has been on getting some marketing material and ideas together for promoting the Princess Jelisa Stories for Children.   Actually, I have accomplished a fair amount given the circumstances.  I am sure I could develop more focus, but for a beginning, I feel I am doing well.  I can generally get most of what I decide to do for the day completed.  Part of my focus has been to post thoughts to my 3 existing blogs. I hope to be able to find a schedule where I can post at least weekly to each blog.   Part of the challenge is getting the four (4) year-old to understand that even though I am home, it does not mean I am free to spend all day with her or go shopping everyday.  The first week was the hardest but it is getting better. After the first few days, I had her
