What’s new around the network?
Happy October, ya’ll! I hope you survived the weekend with your family intact. There’s a lot of parenting and family buzz on the 451Press network this morning and I’m going to give you a peek at what’s going on.
Erinn over at “Parenting Our Children” talks about a “Ban on Birthday Fun in School“. Apparently, some schools are outlawing the distribution of cupcakes or other fatty (but fun) goodies. At my child’s school, as with most others, you are encouraged to bring cupcakes for the class to enjoy to celebrate your child’s birthday. I can understand the reasoning, but it seems extreme to outlaw such an innocent joy for children.
Jean over at “Parenting and Religion” discusses the touchy topic “Domestic Violence Effects Kids; How to Have a Non-Violent Home“. Not an easy subject to address, Jean covers this one well and with caring. October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and she plans to keep the spotlight on the issue for the next several days. Definitely tune in and check it out.
Brian at “Sympathy Pain” talks about “Why I Do This…“, about why he blogs about pregnancy and becoming a father. He reveals a little of his history with his ex-wife, where she suffered two devastating miscarriages and his desire to remember that, to move forward, to mark the events as they happen. And you know, that’s very much the same reason I do what I do as well. My personal blog has been my salvation through some very rough times, reproductively speaking. My only regret is that I didn’t start blogging sooner. If you haven’t been reading Brian’s site, you need to start.
That’s all I have time for today, definitely check out some of the other wonderful sites that have updated recently while you’re at it. There’s an awful lot to talk about in the world of parenting.
