Happy New Year! Happy new school year, that is. Whether your child began school in mid-August or just after Labor Day, September is the traditional mark of school being back in full swing.

What are you depositing in your child’s ‘emotional bank account’? Is it love and trust or indifference and broken promises? Are you adding or subtracting from their emotional intelligence? Stephen R.

Unfortunately, sometimes the tasks associated with school vacation can be more stressful than relaxing. Mixed feelings are not uncommon as adjusting to a new schedule can leave any parent dazed. Working parents may fret about childcare,...
When you hear the word adventure, what does it bring to mind? The thrill of skydiving in New Zealand? The heart-stopping excitement of running with the bulls in Spain?
