Megan’s Law? It’s Only Half the Battle
Spend some time in any PTA meeting, Mommy & Me group, or even a playdate with friends and it isn?t long before the conversation turns into a worried discussion about Megan?s Law and the sex offender information that parents can now readily access with just a few clicks of their computer mouse. Parents everywhere are feverishly checking these websites, sometimes weekly or even daily, to see if a registered sex offender resides nearby. Unfortunately, there are a few flaws in this perceived ?safety net? that well-intentioned parents should know. Don?t get me wrong, I am a HUGE proponent of Megan?s Law and the information it provides. I strongly believe that once a sex offender has been released back into the community, the public has the absolute right to know their whereabouts. But? focusing solely on this component of child safety can do a serious disservice to our kids, IF we stop there.
Moms on the Road – Be Free of That Extra Bag You Carry!
Over my years of business travel as a mom of two children, I carried an invisible bag of guilt with me on every trip.

Whether you travel for business or for conferences, these ideas will help decrease the size of this bag of guilt.
Sleepovers? Should You or Shouldn?t You?
It?s the age-old question, but like most things in life, there simply isn?t one ?right? way to do things when it comes to our kids. Sleepovers can be a fun ?rite of childhood passage?. Personally, I can remember some terrific (and safe!) slumber parties with my close friends. These experiences were part of a wonderful childhood, and many parents would like their own kids to be able to enjoy the same. Yet, sleepovers can also be a slippery slope just by their very nature, and it?s certainly appropriate for parents to have legitimate concerns. We?ve all heard stories about children being molested while at a sleepover. And yet many other children will enjoy sleepovers without anything bad ever happening. Instead of offering one ?absolute? about sleepovers, my perspective is? sometimes yes and sometimes no.
