Peppermint Patti's Pointers: November 2011
http://pattispointers.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 9, 2011. I’m never a clown—I’m usually a witch for October parties. At school I wear black pants and a black turtleneck with a sandwich sign that looks like a math flashcard. I tell people I’m a basic math fact and if you don’t memorize me I’ll come back to haunt you! Oh yes, they approached the house. I could hear them debating whether I was real or not. They bravely got closer. I put my plan into action, jumped up, and roared at them! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Promote Your Page Too.

Peppermint Patti's Pointers: July 2011
http://pattispointers.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. Are you a picky eater? New foods can be scary yet also exciting and summer is a perfect time to try some! You can pretend you’re a scientist and the kitchen is your laboratory. What new recipes can you invent? You can pretend you’re a famous chef and your customers want new taste sensations. Craft a menu and let your family “order” their snacks and meals. If you have a brother or sister, get them to help by being a waiter. Ever open your lunchbox only to find a flat sandwich?

Sunday, January 22, 2012. Helping A Reluctant Child Get Their Face Painted. Has this ever happened to you? You’re at a festival and your child says she wants her face painted. You wait in line for an hour. Then when it’s her turn, she suddenly gets shy and refuses to get in the painter’s chair. This is actually quite common, but what is a parent to do? You did wait in line patiently all that time, didn’t you? Has this happened to you? What did you do? Leave me a comment. I'd love to hear from you! Reassu...

http://grownupguidance.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. One of the best ways to have a close relationship with your child is to write to her and have her write back to you! This helps establish a wonderful way of communicating that may come in very handy when she is a teenager and has trouble talking to you. It also gives her practice in writing! This two-way correspondence can take several forms:. 8226; Journal—a journal can pass back and forth between the two of you. Your child can creatively decorate the cover. Saturday, May 21, 2011.

Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Teaching Your Child To Cross the Road. If you read this week’s “Ponderings” you know that I witnessed a near calamity recently. As parents we hope that our children make good choices and would never do something so stupid. Although we can’t guarantee that they will always use common sense, it is still our job to teach them strategies for safety and success as well as the rules of society and laws of the land. For some great links on how to teach your child pedestrian safety laws.

Peppermint Patti's Pointers: Face Painting
http://pattispointers.blogspot.com/2012/01/face-painting.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. Do you like to get your face painted? The most important thing about getting painted is to make sure the artist knows exactly what you want. Be clear when asking for your design so you’re not disappointed with the results. The next important thing about getting your face painted is to sit really still. The face painter can’t do a really good job if you’re wiggling and jiggling about. When the face painter is done, make sure you say thank you! I'd love to see it!
