How to Ease Your Child’s Separation Anxiety from healthychildren.org

Separation anxiety varies WIDELY between children. Some babies become hysterical when mom is out of sight for a very short time, while other children seem to demonstrate ongoing anxiety at separations during infancy, toddlerhood, and preschool. To All You Working Moms & Dads The trick for surviving separation anxiety demands  preparation , brisk transitions, and the evolution of time.

3 Questions with children's author Greg Foley

Author Greg Foley answers three questions he has always wanted to be asked.

Instead, as with any craft you should share with other people who are trying to do the same thing. My first book, Thank You Bear , is about the creative journey. You think you have something great and the world is full of cynics. There was even a blog post I saw that used Thank You Bear as an example of the types of people you’ll encounter as an entrepreneur. In the end all you need is the right a...
