If your child is feeling a little out of place in a new classroom this
year, if it is a special occasion, or if you are simply wanting to throw
a special party for your child's friends, why not throw your own kids'
Hollywood style party, and help break the ice with the glitz, glamour,
and fun of a kids' Hollywood style party?
Whether in your back yard, or another location, you can make a special
Hollywood style party for your child. By simply providing things, like
inexpensive craft store hats for decorating, party favor jewelry,
sunglasses, boa feathers, your child’s favorite music, and movies,
together with some fun food and games, your child can have their very
own kids' Hollywood style party.
• Buy inexpensive party favors such as craft or thrift store hats for
the children, and allow them to decorate the hats themselves, party
favor jewelry, sunglasses, feather boas, cardboard cut out stars,
painted silver, with each child's name printed on them, and inexpensive
party favor trophies or paper awards, easily made and printed on a home
computer.
• Serve ginger ale in plastic champagne glasses.
• Serve trays of Hors d'oeuvres, such as finger cakes, cheese dogs
wrapped in prepared pastry dough, and baked, small pizza bites, to be
served on a table draped with white paper table cloths liberally
sprinkled with glitter and confetti.
• Age appropriate music from “singers” from your child’s list of
favorites.
• The use of a karaoke machine, so stars may be born, is another good
idea. There is no need to have special karaoke tapes, just let them sing
along with their favorite singers! Create your own talent show, letting
everyone be a winner, and receive their own award for their efforts.
What better way to help your child have fun, and get to know their
friends better, then to have loads of fun with your very own Kids
Hollywood Style Party? On your walk of fame, every child can have a
star!

Parenting Discipline - Teaching
Children Self Respect, Self Control and Empathy
For many parents, the words parenting discipline have very negative
connotations. There is the association with their own childhood and the
often unpleasant memories that thinking of discipline raises. Then there
is the association of the word discipline with ideas around corporal
punishment, with spanking, hitting and hurting children.
Who Owns The Problem; Parent or Child?
It is tempting for parents to assume ownership and responsibility for everything that goes on in the life of their child. However, when the parent jumps in too soon to solve the problem or give the answer, the child never learns to trust his own judgment and become a critical thinker.
Parenting - Making A Schedule This article on the benefits of scheduling your day as a parent
really struck home with me. It took me a while to work this out for
myself when I had young children at home, and I wish I had done so - and
benefited from the much calmer household that was the result - sooner!
Being Left Is The Definition Of A Mother
To be a successful mother you must be left. Not left handed, nor to the
left politically, but just left. This necessary abandonment comes in
gradual stages and the steps toward this goal are painful to be sure.
The Uneducated Palate
When did you learn to really enjoy food? How about experiencing taste

Math Games
for the Active Child
To put it in a nice way, my son is rather squirmy. He doesn't like to
sit still for very long unless he's playing a video game, then it's just
amazing. So instead of constantly telling him to sit down and do his
math, we take it outside or up the stairs, literally...
