Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?

10 of 87

We have lived with and without a TV. Here are my observations. We are now living in Sydney Australia but we were living on the Greek islands in our family home for about a year, without a TV! Without a TV my 4 year old son spent most of his time outdoors, reading books, learning to read and write, communicating with us, fami...

Parenting & Pregnancy > Helping Kids Cope How to teach a child to avoid junk food

6 of 15

It started by necessity, then I realised I was on to something. I suffer from ulcerative colitis, which at times really is a disability.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: What I would do if I had no responsibilities for a year

30 of 33

I had the year off and I'd love to share my observations. I had been living a hectic Sydney life. My every moment whether awake or asleep was about my business. I was consumed, spending long hours at work, long hours bookkeeping, long hours organising the day to day running. I lost track of time, so quickly were the minutes ...
