A great site for both parents and kids is familyeducation.com. The purpose of this site is to help parents assist in their children’s learning success. There are over 23 free newsletters for parents and educators. I receive those appropriate to my children’s ages and enjoy reading them.

You can ask the resident Family Therapist questions and post to the Parents Ideas message boards. Coping with bullies was one of the message board topics and the advice ranged from walking away to fighting them. Use the advice that works best for your own family. You can even look at how others rate toys and games, even PokeMon. Oh joy.

There are links to many different sites for kids and adults and Funbrain is a really cool one. Great for teachers too.

I liked the Tool Box options. You can print out your own field trip permission slip. (If you can’t find the slip, chances are you can’t find time to print out another one either!) Another Tool Box feature was preparing a vacation package for your child according to his age. It will keep them in the learning mode while away from school. You can search by age, special needs, and activities and even find software downloads. This is a keeper so be sure to take a look. Until next time.
