I have a story in this week’s Time magazine about the ways in which parents are becoming environmentally active — not just buying green, but also acting green — in important ways. A longer blog on this to come, but the story is here.
I have a post up at the Huffington Post today, rather dramatically entitled, Raise the Price of Toys. My point, really, is that because toys have become so cheap, relatively speaking, we parents are inclined to buy more of them. This in turn, makes us value them less, but it also makes children value their […]
An early heads-up to my NYC-based readers: I will be speaking as part of a panel next week in Brooklyn’s Park Slope as part of the Adult Education series. Details are below. Hope to see you there!
ADULT EDUCATION PRESENTS: BABIES & AMERICAN INDUSTRY
Tuesday, May 6, 2008 - 8 pm (doors at 7:30)
Union Hall in Park […]
Little bits of news: The St. Petersburg Times printed a nice review of Parenting, Inc. over the weekend, written by a former teacher, so her praise felt especially good. Also, Nancy Schute published a Q and A with me in US News & World Report, viewable online here. And I’ll be reading tonight at Housing […]
Sorry, folks, to do this again. It’s really not my fault, but the Early Show keeps getting moved and bumped. So now it’s not airing tomorrow, but will apparently air some time this week. I will post once I know.
Tomorrow morning, Monday, I’ll be on The Early Show on CBS at 8:40 a.m. Given that my entire family and I have been battling colds for the past week, I’ll be tucking in early tonight. But before I do, I thought I’d share this lovely review of Parenting, Inc. from the St. Petersburg Times. […]
On Sunday we hosted a birthday party for my daughter at our house. No, we didn’t have a magician. No, there was no “theme.” There weren’t matching party plates or gift bags stuffed with cheap plastic geegaws for the kids to take home. But yes, everyone actually had a good time! Instead of turning the […]
Also, apologies to those who tuned in to CBS’s The Early Show expecting to see me at 8:30 this morning. My segment was again moved to April 28th, but I promise I will be on then! Sorry, sorry, sorry…
One of the first pieces of advice I give to parents is to please, please buy more than one lovey (doesn’t that word somehow reek of powdered old ladies?) — once a lovey has been selected. All parts of this are important, trust me. Let’s start with the “selection” of the lovey. This is not […]
I’ve become breaking news! Actually, what I mean is, I’m now scheduled to go on The Early Show tomorrow morning around 8:30 on CBS. Please do tune in.
Also, for kicks, I posted this, on Jezebel.com, a look at the new magazine, Baby Couture.
