One Secret to a Working Mom's Success: Keep Standing

Me, standing in Barbados Those of us who live our lives out loud on the internet subject ourselves to scrutiny. Some comment, "Nobody's life is perfect. These posts must be fake," Those making those comments might even be close to us because they "know our business" and they whisper and gossip and say, "she's so fake".  To those who may read my blog and make such comments, (the trolls) know that I hear you, see you, and completely disagree. 

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: Check Me Out on IQ Parent this Sunday


Me and the host, Angela SantomeroI am honored to be affiliated with the WQED IQ: Smart Parent Program. WQED is a PBS member television station that is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The IQ:Smart Parent Program is focused on helping us parent better in theses changing times called the 21st Century. As a working mom I am particularly interested in this program.  With all of my responsibilities, I don't have time to research everything myself. So, I value these programs, created by the same station that produced "Mister Rodgers Neighborhood", that help me become a better parent.

 
Today, WQED will be hosting a “marathon” of IQ:Smart Parent shows that deal with the topic of the influence of media and technology on our children. It’s a very relevant topic given the increase use that technology plays in our lives and our children’s increased exposure to media,  especially in a world when they can get it 24/7.

(Find the shows on Comcast Channel 9.)'
  1. “Learning with Games”: Can video and online games be positive learning tools for kids?
  2. “Girls Growing Up with Media”: How are girls portrayed in the media? How does this impact their decisions, behaviors, and sense of self?
  3. "Health, Wellness, and Technology”: Can technology and digital devices contribute to our health and wellness?
  4. “Tune In, Tune Out”: Do your children believe everything they see on TV? How does your child learn to separate fiction from reality? (Be sure to check out this one. I appear on the show!)
 
 

They will air in order, back to back, on Sunday, September 8th beginning at 2:30pm. For more information, check out: http://www.wqed.org
