How much information should we give them? What type of conversations should we be having? I think it all depends on the age of your child(ren). […]

Toddler with an iPad

This past summer, I partnered with AT&T and hosted three local events to facilitate a discussion with parents on online and mobile safety. Through AT&T’s Mobile Safety program, I was able to get together with local parents in our community and gain insight into what concerns them about Internet and mobile safety with their children.

September 10, 2012 By Melanie Edwards 2 Comments

Big Sister Holding Little Brother's Hand

First Words

June 15, 2012 By Melanie Edwards Leave a Comment

Baby boy is starting to say more words these days. They aren’t many, but they sure are cute to hear! He’s been saying dada for a while now, and just recently started saying mama too, though he doesn’t say it very often. He was also saying small words like, wow, uh uh(to say no), and […]
