We see them every day at drop off and pick up, often coordinating activities like walking or coffee between the two or scheduling play dates or park dates outside of preschool hours. These friends become our daily touchstones, our speed dial phone calls, our life [...]]]></description>

This one seems to be a very tough one for us momma bears. We hate to see our child hurt and we struggle intensely with how to fix it. Should we call the other parent? [...]]]></description>

I had a sneaking suspicion that the mom calling me at 9:30 on a school night was not going to ask me to share my apple crisp recipe or schedule a playdate for our kids. At 9:30pm, a call from a tired mom can [...]]]></description>

Not necessarily, according to some moms on my local email group.  In the midst of a lice outbreak, we learned that our local public school system is no longer allowed to send children identified as having lice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My daughter’s t-ball team was sharing batting helmets which has lead to a minor lice epidemic, in both our preschool and elementary school. The preschool brought in professionals to check the kids and sent the lice infested ones home for treatment. The elementary school is no longer allowed to send children with lice home.

So I was surprised when, after gathering my own kids and walking out the front of the building, I noticed two of my daughter’s fellow kindergarteners hanging out by themselves without [...]]]></description>

One girl was quiet and reserved and the other was aggressive and competitive. Still, it was the first I had heard about parents trying to control [...]]]></description>

Is it necessary?&#8221; before they say something to or about someone else. It’s certainly a practice that we parents can take to heart as well. After all, how can [...]]]></description>
