Teaching self-control a great summer exercise
By Marybeth Hicks
Here’s a moment in parenting I’ll never forget. I’m in the car, and my
delightful, exuberant, eldest child is keeping time to the song on the
radio by rhythmically thumping her foot on the back of the driver’s
seat. Gazing out the window, she hums along with the music while I
quickly come to a frustrated boil in front of her. How often have I
asked the kids not to kick the seats? Without taking my eyes off the
road, deftly I reach behind and snatch her ankle in my hand... Read More. More Opinion.

Eidson in Summer
If you missed the Grand Opening, then join a naturalist as we head to
the newest Park of the District and explore all it has to offer! We’ll
hike all the trails, checking out the swamp, creek and woodlands.
Salamanders, birds, wildflowers and mammals are just some of the
exciting plant/animal life we’ll hope to encounter. Dress to get muddy
as this park has several areas that may still be “soggy”. Bring
binoculars if you... Read More. More Events. |

Living Within Smaller Means
By Carrie Schwab Pomerantz
Dear Carrie: I just graduated with a business degree and was lucky to
find a job in Los Angeles. I’m excited, but a bit worried, too, because
the job doesn’t pay that much and I know it costs a lot to live in LA.
It’s the first time that I’ve been completely on my own and money will
be tight. Can you give me a heads up money-wise? I don’t want to blow
this opportunity. -- A... Read

Why 2012 looks like 1860
By Star Parker
As the season of presidential politics 2012 unfolds, I’m struck by
similarities between today and the tumultuous period in our history
that led up to the election of Abraham Lincoln and then on to the Civil
War. So much so that I’m finding it a little eerie that this year we
are observing the 150th anniversary of the outbreak of the Civil War.

It’s Education, but Higher Is a Misnomer
By Mona Charen
I will not get sentimental, or so I keep telling myself. Well, maybe a
little sentimental, but never maudlin at the approaching departure of
my 17-year-old son for college in the fall. Fall? Did I say fall? No,
he leaves in August -- cruel calendar! If I sometimes find myself
leafing through photos of him at 2 and 5 and 11 -- here...
