Chatting With Lexi: The Scales

We were driving in the car tonight, on our way to the zoo, when, as often happens when she’s not using her iPad, Lexi asked me about where the animals go in winter. I thought about it, realized I had no answer, and basically said the zoo people know how to handle the situation. She … Continue reading Chatting With Lexi: The Scales

Chatting With Lexi: On Boys

Boys are fickle creatures. Some are intent on being masculine. Others are really sensitive. And still more are both masculine and sensitive at different times. That’s the glory of the human male, that there really are no generalizations that hold up across the board. But when you’re a 10 years old girl all boys are … Continue reading Chatting With Lexi: On Boys

Chatting With Lexi: On Screen Time

School vacations are always challenging, trying to find a way to fill the void of time that would normally be taken up by school and school activities. It’s a special kind of cabin fever, and I get it. The kids are used to being around their peers; they’re used to a routine that accounts for … Continue reading Chatting With Lexi: On Screen Time

Chatting With Lexi: On Respect

Today was an exercise in patience, and not like forcing my brain to control my mouth, but like lifting heavy objects to keep myself occupied, to thwart my anger. I don’t know what’s been happening lately, but little by little I’ve been losing my little girl and gaining a premature teenager, with all the angst … Continue reading Chatting With Lexi: On Respect
