Daily Parent Drive Thru

Parents of Greenville, SC, get ready to spend less money and more time with your kids.

As the Greenville Parenting Examiner, I’ve launched The Quality Time Project©, a web presence to support parents in building a better relationship with their children through spending engaged quality time together.

The Quality Time Project©

• encourages parents to spend focused one-on-one time with each child on a weekly basis
• offers ideas for parents and kids to spend quality time together
• highlights resources in and around Greenville, SC for spending parent-child time
• gives ideas that cost around $5.00 or less

The Quality Time Project© is an ongoing series of web articles, all of which remind and encourage parents to make parent child quality time a high priority. Some articles such as Mother Daughter Tea Party for Two in Greenville and Frankie’s Fun Park and $5.00 offer an unusual twist to spending time together. Other articles such as Card Game and $5.00 Snack at a Locally Owned Business remind parents of old fashioned fun that might seem “novel” to today’s kids.

I hope that parents, who aren’t already doing so will begin to set aside an hour each week to spend with each child. Some parents may perceive that they spend a lot of time with their kids, but is it engaged time? A parent and child riding in a car together can be engaged with one another or not, depending on how the time is spent. Setting aside an hour each week can help parents plan ahead to drop everything, not take phone calls and build a stronger parent child relationship.

-”After controlling for all these factors, spanking remained a strong predictor of violent behavior,” is one compelling quote in the Time Magazine article in the May 3, 2010 issue.

The Article is called

The Long Term Effects of Spanking

This is my blog on “Wordle”.

Wordle is a tool/toy for creating “word clouds”. It’s fun to put a blog address in and see what word cloud “Wordle” will create. There are different cloud patterns and you can change the color patterns too. See another word cloud of my blog on the public gallery at Wordle.net.

Note: Any use or display of Wordle creations must be attributed to Wordle.

I’d like to thank my web host, IX Web Hosting for fixing my blog’s picture problem and restoring the images.

All I had to do was contact them and they fixed it.

Awesome!!

Well, I took the big plunge and pressed “Upgrade my Wordpress”.

I wondered if everything would come through the upgrade well.  Right now I can’t see any of the pictures in my posts.

So I’m working on that, but don’t know IF I can fix it and when it will be fixed.

If you are a new visitor, the blog usually has plenty of photos to go with the words. I’m working on it.
