One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: Check Me Out on IQ Parent this Sunday

on

Me and the host, Angela SantomeroI am honored to be affiliated with the WQED IQ: Smart Parent Program. WQED is a PBS member television station that is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The IQ:Smart Parent Program is focused on helping us parent better in theses changing times called the 21st Century. As a working mom I am particularly interested in this program.  With all of my responsibilities, I don't have time to research everything myself. So, I value these programs, created by the same station that produced "Mister Rodgers Neighborhood", that help me become a better parent.

 
Today, WQED will be hosting a “marathon” of IQ:Smart Parent shows that deal with the topic of the influence of media and technology on our children. It’s a very relevant topic given the increase use that technology plays in our lives and our children’s increased exposure to media,  especially in a world when they can get it 24/7.

(Find the shows on Comcast Channel 9.)'
  1. “Learning with Games”: Can video and online games be positive learning tools for kids?
  2. “Girls Growing Up with Media”: How are girls portrayed in the media? How does this impact their decisions, behaviors, and sense of self?
  3. "Health, Wellness, and Technology”: Can technology and digital devices contribute to our health and wellness?
  4. “Tune In, Tune Out”: Do your children believe everything they see on TV? How does your child learn to separate fiction from reality? (Be sure to check out this one. I appear on the show!)
 
 

They will air in order, back to back, on Sunday, September 8th beginning at 2:30pm. For more information, check out: http://www.wqed.org
