My Child Cheats -What Can I Do?
Cheating happens every day. Athletes cheat by taking performance-enhancing drugs. Students cheat on exams and reports. Some executives cheat by ‘cooking the books’ to make their company appear more solvent than it is. If your child cheats, you may be wondering if you should worry since it seems like ‘everyone’ is doing it.
The plain and simple truth is that cheating is dishonest. Cheating allows someone to achieve something they didn’t earn. It also hurts innocent people along the way. Parents may be afraid that if their child begins cheating now they’ll develop a pattern of cheating that will continue into adulthood.

As a parent you want to know if they’re trying to avoid something or someone.
Tell Me Thursday 9-17
Yesterdays Wordless Wednesday was an important day here at the Wilson Household. It was taken while waiting for the bus. The bus that was picking up my princess for her first full day of Kindergarten. She was super excited to get on the bus and to go to school.
Brendan was just as excited to show her how things at school work. He was also excited to get to school since his best friend is in his class.
Time has flown by I am totally shocked at the time that has gone by and how they have grown. Each day is full of learning and getting smarter and smarter. I just hope their enthusiasm about school continues.
Time Management = Team Work
Families these days can be busy. It may seem there aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the things your family wants to do. If this is the case with your family, it might help to know that time management equals team work.
To be sure everyone is able to meet the obligations they have, it’s important that the family work together rather than having the parents doing the majority of the work. There’s an old Scottish proverb that says “Many hands make light work because it is but little to everyone.” This means everyone in the family needs to chip in to get necessary household chores done so everyone can benefit.

I know this week will fly by and which brings us even more closer to the first day of school.

Why Good Working Relationships with Teachers Are Important
Teachers are so important in children’s lives. Outside of their parents, teachers may be the adults that have the most impact on our children. This is why good working relationships with teachers are important, for the child and the parent.
The first week of school can be seen as the foundation for the rest of the school year. Teachers are learning about a whole classroom of students at once. Children are learning about the teacher and their classmates. Parents can play a vital role in helping the teacher learn about their child, their quirks, and any learning issues they may have.
