Last Spring, parents and children at Putnam Indian Field School (PIFS) planted nine organic gardens on the school grounds to encourage and celebrate healthy eating.  The gardens were part of the school’s move to organic, non-GMO, more fruit and vegetable filled lunches. In between the many vegetables, the children planted marigolds (to discourage bunnies), herbs and nasturtiums.  [caption id="attachment_5146" align="aligncenter" width="608"] Marcella Kapsaroff, PIFS mom and Garden Committee Chair shows children the fruits of their gardens.[/caption] Tomatoes of all...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them?  My 3 cuties are 6 and 6 (twins) and 4.  There is nothing I love more than our nightly routine of snuggling up on the couch.  Each kid gets to pick books and sit on my lap when we read them.  We snack on cut fruit and veggies and laugh and chat about our day,...

[caption id="attachment_5715" align="aligncenter" width="310"] by Dr. Paul Lowe – Admissions Guru[/caption] Over the last 17 years as a college admissions advisor, I have observed that many well-intentioned parents don’t have the time, knowledge and emotional tolerance to “play” college admissions advisor, even after they create spreadsheets, read books, take copious notes during college tours, talk with friends, and try to gather information from my workshops. U.S. parents are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of having a...

The Annual Art Show, held on the weekend of April 25 -26, allowed parents to see what their children had been preparing for weeks. One Nursery class imitated a Kasuma project by decorating a white room, white furniture and white...

My 13-year-old and I are reading Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine together for her required nightly reading.  Neither of us understands the story but we love the way it's written.  It's like looking into another world and not understanding what you're seeing but knowing that it's beautiful. My 4-year-old...

Teenage skin I have always liked treating teenage patients. I think it’s because I think I can really make a difference with them. Catching kids early can put them on a path for taking good care of their skin for a lifetime. This also involves educating their parents. Many parents are at a loss about how to help their kids with their acne and other skin issues. They may have had skin problems themselves when they...
