What do you do when you see a homeless man or woman on the street asking for money or food? Do you stop to give, do you atleast offer a kind smile? That smile may be the only one they receive all day. I admit that I...

hewesy2 My daughters are three and still continue to wake up each and every night. Now it isn't crying so much, I just hear, Mommy, Daddy! So then they hop into bed with us, and that is pretty much routine. Since they were born, they have slept through the night on 3...

hewesy2 It is interesting if you can remember where you were for certain events. During 911 I was teaching and a colleague of mine came in to tell me that 'the world is getting blown up.' And to that response, I was in a total state of confusion, not knowing what on...

hewesy2 My kids go to preschool 2 days of week for 3 hours each day, and this is perfect for a 3 year old. They do need the socialization and the realization that other adults can take care of them and that they can trust them. I do so much more at home with them,...

hewesy2 All schools have different regulations, but I honestly feel that for primary grades, about 20 minutes a night is good. For upper elementary, 40 minutes a night works out well, and for high school, up to two hours is a reasonable amount. I feel that children...
