Passport2Purity Weekend Kit Review by Life in a House of Testosterone

Life in a House of Testosterone has partnered with Propeller Consulting, LLC to bring you today's conversation. We were sent a promotional item as a thank you for our posting.

Then I heard about this really cool Passport 2 Purity Weekend Kit by Dennis and Barbara Rainey and decided to use this to have "the talk" with my youngest son. Let's face it, having "the talk" with your kids is … [Read more...] about Our Passport2Purity Weekend Staycation

Having Trouble Falling Asleep? Melatonin Could Be the Answer You Seek

Sunday, July 12, 2015 by Kimberly Miller

Have trouble falling asleep? Melatonin could be the answer you seek.

Disclosure: This post was created in partnership with Mom Buzz Media. I received this product free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion. For the past ten years or more, I have been a champion of melatonin. Having a child diagnosed with ADHD at the age of five, you soon learn that sleep is a precious commodity of which you will get even less of with an ADHD child. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) causes your child to go-go-go, all day long. Jumping, playing, bouncing, running, they can go from the moment they wake up … [Read more...] about Having Trouble Falling Asleep? Melatonin Could Be the Answer You Seek

The ADHD Teenager and Homework

Tuesday, September 16, 2014 by Kimberly Miller

adhd teenager and homework

I have talked with my teen for the past three months about high school. At least once a week, we would talk about what would be expected of him, how whatever he did in high school would appear on his permanent transcript for future jobs and college to review if they choose to. How this was "real life" and the fact that I wanted him to do his best and not eff it up. The ADHD Teenager and Homework We're on the third week of school and he's flunking everything except for Graphic Arts and Language Arts (English). The principal and I both … [Read more...] about The ADHD Teenager and Homework

Three Tips on Balancing Media and Technology Use for Kids

3 Tips on Balancing Media and Technology Use for Kids

If you feel like your child is spending way too much time clutching an iPad or sitting in front of a laptop playing games, you are probably right. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the average kid between the ages of 8 and 10 spends a whopping eight hours a day in front of some sort of electronic screen. Their older brothers and sisters may be on their smartphones and tablets as much as 11 hours per day. These figures mean that, in some cases, our kids are spending more time trying to master Flappy Bird and texting their friends … [Read more...] about Three Tips on Balancing Media and Technology Use for Kids

The Day My Sister and I Became Helicopter Moms

Wednesday, April 9, 2014 by Kimberly Miller

I think I just confirmed my own worst fear - that I've become a Helicopter Mom. I ran off to the store, told J. that I would be right back. 45 minutes later finally got back - J. was gone. Dad was gone. Had no idea where either of them were. Started calling Dad. No answer. Panic sets in. I'm checking basketball courts and picnic areas and skateboard park ... just as I'm about to go behind the other buildings, I see Mr. Tall and Lanky popping down the steps of the building next to us where his friend lives. My heart is in my throat, I get in … [Read more...] about The Day My Sister and I Became Helicopter Moms

Actions Consequences and Parenting Styles - Life in a House of Testosterone

Those of you who have followed The MAD White Woman and TBK Designs know that my eldest son, J., has ADHD and has struggled for many years with issues in school and at home due to this disorder.  We have tried several different options, some of which have worked, others which have not.  The one constant that we have learned however is that no two children react the same way. ADHD is a common behavior disorder that affects an estimated 8% to 10% of school-age children, with boys seeming more susceptible to be diagnosed with it, … [Read more...] about Actions, Consequences and Parenting Styles
