• Cava's Diorama
  on Sep 26, 2014
  Like any parent of an elementary school student, I am less than thrilled when my child comes home assigned to do a project that they are clearly incapable of doing by themselves because it involves more skill sets than they have yet acquired. Such wa...
• Our Beach Trip 2014
  on Aug 4, 2014
  Summer is almost over and we finally took some time and headed to the beach. The boys were excited and Cava constantly asked how much longer it would be before we were at the beach (he started before we even hit the highway and continued at repeated...
• Learning From Legos
  on Jul 18, 2014
  One of the major areas I have been working with Cava on is in the area of self-defeat. This is a struggle that comes from having spent eight years of his life never being told he was smart or talented or of value. He has spent eight years either hear...
• Withhold Good Things?
  on Jul 16, 2014

  on Jun 16, 2014
  Yesterday was Father's Day and it's a day I enjoy far more than my birthday and not just because it doesn't mean I've added another year to my age. I love being a father. I remember the first time I held each of my sons: one when he was born and the...
• Our Own Summer School
  on Jun 12, 2014
  It's amazing the differences between my two boys. One of the greatest is their attitude towards school. Cava cries when school ends for the summer and Benjamin cries when it begins in fall. To make the transition into summer easier this year, I have...
