The Zodiac Legacy: Convergence, middle school action for young readers Giveaway

We received copy of the book to review. All thoughts are our own and really, the creative team behind this is off the chain. The growth of young adult fiction was always missing a large market. While some of the YA books crossed into this category, there hasn’t, until now, been one that started in the category specifically aimed at this group. Stan Lee is legendary in the comic world as co-creator of Spider-Man and The Avengers among others; and has teamed up with two other stars in comics to create The Zodiac Legacy.

Changing the Conversation; conflict resolution OK for all ages Giveaway

Having a five-year old means negotiations and conflict resolution with small people who don’t have that strong of a command on logic or empathy. Granted, in some business cases that’s exactly what you’re dealing with, albeit with a being who is adult sized and should have those qualities.

Apraxia is nonsense, or is it? Speech delay by any other name

Our youngest isn’t much of a talker. At 18 months the doctor was saying that we should take him to a specialist because he’s not saying 6 words. We didn’t do that because that doctor, in hindsight was a bit of an alarmist. His answers seemed straight out of Google and he never factored in some things that we thought should be considered. Because of his answers and the way he presented things we didn’t do anything.

The Sandbox is a must visit for families at Hilton Head Island

When your family goes on vacation there are guaranteed to be a day or two out of the week that need something. It could be too hot, too cold, bad weather or maybe the kids just need a day inside, but not inside the beach place that you’re renting. On Hilton Head Island you have The Sandbox, an interactive children’s museum that far exceeds expectations that you have of a resort children’s museum.
