Is Your Heart Ticklish?
I come from a long line of ticklers (that’s a little weird to write down). Growing up it wasn’t uncommon to be tackled to the ground by a goofy uncle or cousin who would tickle you until you were about ready to pee your pants. This wasn’t the gentle-strokes-from-a-feather kind of tickling, but instead jabs-of-the-finger-into-your-neck style. Eventually, as we got older it subsided, until the next generation of...

We have a “no phone during the school day” policy at my school, but only the naive can...

I’ll never forget my first experience working at a parent-teacher conference as a young 22-year-old public school teacher in Minnesota. It wasn’t the conversations with parents or students that I remember but one seemingly simple event in the evening…dinner. At this school there was a break for 45 minutes for teachers to eat dinner together in the cafeteria. What a nice idea, right? …it’s not the...
Are you raising an evil genius?
My daughter Hattie loves the outdoors, in fact if it was up to her she’d spend every waking moment outside (good thing we live in Honolulu). This became even more apparent last year after she began to unlock the deadbolt of our front door to make a mad dash to the courtyard of our apartment building. So like any responsible parent we added an extra lock at the top of the door about 6-and-half-feet high; clearly out of her...
