A Child's Memento BoxWritten by Dionna Sanchez
Continued from page 1
Then throughout Spring Break or Summer Vacation your child can insert favorite trinkets, postcards and other treasures. A great time to do this memento box would be when you go on an extended vacation. That way your child can make sure to bring back savored memories with them. You can bet that this memento box will be treasured. You can even have your son or daughter write year and date on box to mark time in their life forever.

Continued from page 1
*swimming parties ( if you own a pool or are in a community with access to one) *watch sports - basketball, Olympics, Super-Bowl, World Series, etc. *have dances (furniture can be pushed aside for a few hours) *study groups (it can make homework more fun as long as it IS being done!) *holidays - N. Year's Eve, Memorial Day, 4th of July, etc. *dinners - (how about sharing your family dinner with a friend once in awhile?)Be available not only to welcome your child's peers in your home, but to get to know their parents as well. The price to pay for a fuller and noiser house, sometimes, is well worth knowledge and tools it will equip you with in guiding your growing child into a safe and trustworthy adult.
