A few weeks ago, during a conversation about the ways in which technology has infiltrated our lives, someone suggested that I watch a particular episode of Black Mirror, the Netflix series that is billed as the updated version of The Twilight Zone. In the episode, a mom, frightened when her preschool daughter wanders off from the playground and disappears for a short time, enrolls in a security program that offers the promise of peace of mind

Does your family decorate eggs for Easter?

Sounds pretty basic, but I am actually quite shocked at how many people don’t bother to make sure the license plate and photo match what’s listed on the app on their phone when they request the car. WHEN THE CAR PULLS UP, LET THE DRIVER PROVE THEY’RE THE CORRECT PERSON! My daughter, my husband, and even my friends have enabled the “find friends” feature on our iPhones, which means we can check or track where each other’s location/ cell phone.

The SAT standardized test, originally known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test, provides percentile scores used by many college admissions committees in evaluating college applications. During your child’s junior high and high school years, make certain that core Math and Communications skills receive a high priority in the curriculum. It they don’t score as well as expected the first time, they’ll enjoy an opportunity to re-take the test again later as High School Juniors before having their scores transmitted to college admissions committees. However, by studying effectively during Junior High and High School, they may acquire the academic reasoning and communications skills to perform well on this important college-entrance examination.
