Today I am starting a new adventure in blogging. As a young professional recently joining the field of education in the State of NJ who is working in an elementary-level counseling position, I have found that everyday I come across new resources and items of interest that I wish I could share with parents and other educators. There are so many excellent resources, sources of advice, and studies that relate to parenting and educating out there. However, in a world where many are single parents, many others live in households where both parents work full-time, and where educators are bogged down by test-driven curriculum that leaves no room for fun or life lessons, it can be hard for anyone who works with or just loves a child to keep up with what is current and what is best. I hope this blog in its own small way can help connect parents and education professionals alike with great info. Beyond my work in my chosen field, I know that for myself it is important to be cultivating a vast knowledge of the hows and whys of raising children, because I have a little boy for whom I want to do things right. It is a goal that this blog remains objective and does not often seem judgemental, cynical, or elitist. I really hope to keep it this way, and hope not to offend anyone, but at the end of the day I am trying to shed light on what is right for kids.
Thanks for reading. E
