This post is sponsored by CHOC Children’s I've talked quite a bit about how important I think it is for parents to talk openly with their kids about hard topics. A few months ago I had a chance to chat with a doctor and adolescent specialist from CHOC Children’s to hear an expert opinion on how to talk with our kids about sex and sexuality.

The Dreadlock Dilemma
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2008. Jafta has been asking me, with increasing fervor, to cut his dreadlocks off. He really wants a buzzcut like his friend Nate, and like his cousins Austin and Derek. I think that he is at an age where he is noticing the physical differences between he and most of his friends. His hair is a major difference, and he wants to look more like everybody else. I know that this is the right thing to do for him, but I am just . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Jacob
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

Hover Craft
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2008. This morning I hosted a playdate for my son and three other little boys. My son was really struggling to get along with them, for many reasons. For one, my son was the youngest, so he was having trouble following the "rules" of their games, and frustrating them. Also, the other boys spend a lot of time with each other, and they seemed to get a kick out of acting like Jafta was a complete social parasite. And then, my son has . . .
