This scenario took place recently in Twin Falls, and the backlash on social media has lead to parents wondering how they would react if it had been their child.
A poll taken by a Michigan children's hospital yielded some of the most common fears parents in the United States have as they prepare to send their children back into the classroom.
It's official. Every school in the Magic Valley is back in session. Twin Falls School District has been in session for almost 3 weeks while Xaviar Charter School and Filer School District are just beginning.
I will be the first to admit that before I had children I swore I wasn't going to bribe them. Then I started potty training and out came the candy. By the time my kids started school I was bribing them, or as I like to call it...rewarding them, with toys.
Helping a child at a park just seems like the right thing to do, right? Apparently, this isn't always the case.
Last month, my family and I were at a park in Washington. A little boy approached me and asked me to lift him onto a swing.
Like most children, my kids love their screen time. Rather they are watching TV, playing a video game or playing a game on a tablet...they are happy if they are in-front of any screen. And like most moms, I worry about the amount of screen time my kids get.
