A Review of Arbuckle Wilderness in Oklahoma

Holly’s sKoop: An afternoon at Arbuckle Wilderness

by Holly Duenas

Our family is a HUGE fan of America’s Funniest Home Videos. My husband especially….he loves laughing at other people’s misfortunes. He’s sweet like that.  And I believe my kids have inherited his sense of humor as well. I hear them laughing nonstop during this television show. We’ve noticed that almost every episode of AFV has a family driving through one of those drive-thru safari experiences where someone’s face almost gets pecked off by an ostrich or a hand gets chomped by a zebra. So we thought, hey, let’s go do that! Heck, we might even win $100,000 someday with a funny video we submit to AFV. Okay, maybe not.

Setting Expectations for our Kids even When they’re Hurting

Ask Amy: When We Hurt for Our Kids

 

by Amy Egan

It may be impossible not to hurt when our kids are hurting, but maybe just being aware when we experience it would be helpful.  There is almost nothing more painful than watching our kids hurt: most of the time we’d rather do their suffering for them.  I am sure it is the “Mama Bear instinct” that takes hold of us when we see our kids in any kind of pain – whether it is physical or emotional, and whether they are the cause of their pain or not at fault.

There are situations when their pain needs to be our business – and there are also plenty of situations where their concerns need to be their own.  The focus of this article is not about whether to step in: it is about bringing to light the serious ramifications we can create simply by approaching the child’s concerns with our own perspectives.

Raising boys without gender bias

by Jennifer Barling

I feel like I’ve always been very progressive and open-minded in the way I raise my kids, but something happened recently that really disturbed me.  In fact, it completely shocked me and stopped me dead in my tracks.
