Is it Monday, Yet? is my attempt to address developmental and topical issues we confront as we “challenge and nurture” our children. The topics I cover are drawn from developmental and cognitive psychology, current research, my own parenting and teaching/school administrator experience, or parent questions, and could just as easily be a response to local, national, or world events that have parenting implications. Keep your eyes on Compass at this time each month, and if you have any great ideas about future topics, please shoot me an email, text me, or stop in or give me a call.
