I just wanted to post a quick note to let you know that our first guest blogger, Tanja Cilia, will be joining us soon.  I hope to have several guest bloggers from time to time to offer you many different takes on being a parent and all the things that go hand in hand with parenting and child development.  Tanja will be blogging on That Parent Place occasionally so I would like to introduce her now before she has made her first post, which should be appearing over the next couple weeks. 

Tanja Cilia is an Allied Newspapers (Malta) columnist, freelance journalist, writer and poet who lives in Fleur de Lys, a hamlet in the beautiful Island Republic of Malta, Europe, bang in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. She is married, and has three children. Tanja lives to write and reads to breathe, and karaokes off-key to Elton John and Katie Melua records as she two-finger thumps on the pc… her excuse is that she had chilblains when she was learning to type, and this prevented her from being able to place her digits in the correct position on the keyboard… In the past, she has worked as a clerk, a Kindergarten Teacher, and a Facilitator for children who have different needs; all three jobs have rewarded her with experiences and characters that often worm their way into her stories without warning. She loves cooking, mainly traditional Maltese food, but is also partial to Chinese dishes.  Sometimes, she even thinks and speaks in haiku – but she prefers to read science fiction.  Tanja is currently compiling stories for a children’s book, which will consist partly of her own original tales, and also some adaptations of foreign ones. Contact her at tanjachilja@hotmail.com

On one other note, if you have any questions or would like to see specific topics, please email me at sirena.van@sympatico.ca.

Thank you,

Sirena

• Protecting your Children from Predators Today's topic is one that is a lot more sombre than other posts that I have made previously and it is definitely more serious.  It deals with teaching your child about good touch vs bad touch and how they can protect themselves from predators.  This for me is one of......
• Welcome! It's very exciting to be writing this first post to what I hope will be a successful parenting blog that will allow you times to laugh and occasionally cry, shout out your child's accomplishments or voice concerns that you have.  I hope that I can offer as much information as possible......
• Your Toddler at 2 You know the famous saying, "Terrible Two's" and your little baby has finally reached it. I would like to be the first to congratulate you and I would like to mention that the "Two's" really aren't that terrible. Sure there are a lot of things that are happening but from......
• What are we teaching our kids? As Easter drew near, I realized that I had forgotten to pick up a few things, and ended up having to go grocery shopping on Saturday; the day before Easter!  I knew it was going to be a horrible day for shopping, but I gritted my teeth and headed out anyways.  I......
• Theorists of Child Development Part Two If you remember a few weeks ago, I started a post on the Theorists of Child Development and by the end of a pretty long post, I had only covered Freud and some of his theories. I did hint that I was going to move on to Erik Erikson in......

• Guest Post - Getting Ready To Pay For Preschool - The Digerati Life. Today's guest post is from The Digerati Life, who was kind enough to send an article over for me to publish while we are on vacation.

• Eau de Cuir de Russie (Russian Leather) Review I wanted to try Eau de Cuir de Russie (Russian Leather) first, because this is a fragrance that appears in other brands, and generally it is one that I like. Leather is rich and sumptuous.  The best leather is supple, emitting a fragrance, giving sensual pleasure, not only in......
