    Did Noam Chomsky Just Dish a Secret on Socialism in America?0

    Noam Chomsky earlier this week was asked what he thought of Bernie Sanders’ political platform. Here’s how he responded:  [H]e’s considered radical and extremist, which is a pretty interesting characterization, because he’s basically a mainstream New Deal Democrat. His positions would not have surprised President Eisenhower, who said, in fact, that anyone who does not

    10 Ways to Avoid Picky Eater Syndrome0

    For many parents, the most traumatic family battles are fought at the very place which should be a place of harmony and connection: the dinner table.

    10 Habits That Might Be Killing Your Child’s Interest in Reading0

    The Nation’s 2015 reading scores carry a serious message to parents: American students aren’t reading.

But do American parents also share part of the blame? I asked myself

    How Parents Are Slowly Ceding Authority to Children1

    Last weekend, our five-year-old daughter yelled at an adult friend of ours. When I found out about it later that day, I made my daughter call and apologize for yelling.
