Why Social Media Behavior Matters To Teens

Colleges and employers are watching what you tweet Many teens are tired of hearing parents and teachers reminding them to pause before you post or think before you send a text. They may be tired of hearing it, but that doesn't mean we are going to stop preaching it, since it is imperative that not only youth pause before publishing anything in cyberspace -- grown-ups need … [Read more...]

When It’s the Parents Who Act Bad

July 24, 2014 by Kristen Daukas Leave a Comment

It's not just the kids who are naughty on social media... The parents can make your skin crawl. We have had our fair share of bad weather this winter here in NC.. Mother Nature has been nothing short of bipolar.. 70 degrees one day, an inch of ice the next.  The kids have had delays, early dismissals and have missed more days this school year than they have in almost 30 … [Read more...]

5 Reasons Roots Are Important to Teens and Tweens

Roots give us strength and purpose My daughter’s spreading her wings by living in Guatemala for four months before graduating from college.  As she’s learning to soar in new and faraway places, we’re learning how important it is to develop roots. Teens need roots to build their identity.  Identities develop in early adolescence as kids separate from parents and gravitate … [Read more...]

Double Take: What If A Teacher is the Bully?

Dear Dr. Wes & Katie: What do you do when a teacher is the bully?  Last semester one of my daughter’s teachers repeatedly yelled at her in front of the class for asking questions, requesting help using classroom equipment, asking to go to the bathroom, etc.  I downplayed how severe this was until I met with the teacher to discuss a grade that seemed unfair. In response … [Read more...]

Lessons From the Kool-Aid House: 1984

June 16, 2012 by Kristen Daukas Leave a Comment

The four of us met in the 6th grade. There was me, Cathy, Laura and Missy – Mrs. Grant’s daughter. We were inseparable for all of our middle school days and a decent piece of our high school days. We did what all 13 year olds do – endless sleepovers that usually involved us planning our weddings to our respective men of our boy band (Duran Duran).  We just knew they were going … [Read more...]

A Word is worth a Thousand Pictures

A Word is worth a Thousand Pictures  15-June-2012 I take a lot of pictures.  Thousands.  Literally more than 40,000 pictures since 2007.  That’s a lot.  Which makes me, in my book, a guy that takes lots of pictures.  Not to be confused with a photographer!  Point being, now and then, I get a stellar photograph here and there, picked out from the thousands of not that … [Read more...]

Guys Night Evolution

Guys Night Evolution I love to tell people that Legos are brain food.  They make you smart.  I should have played with them more when I was a kid!!! Guys Night.  Love it every time.  I guess it’s been a while since I’ve written about Kid Exchange, but in summary, now and then we try to make something good come of the ‘2 homes’ situation by swapping kids for a … [Read more...]
