  JUNE 2004 - THE MEDIA MAGNET Have you been struggling to manage "screen time" in your house? Find out how TV and video games affect your child's brain and learn some simple guidelines and tools to make it easier for you and your children. FEBRUARY 2004 - RESTITUTION Marcia has stumbled across yet another amazing book! Her children's school is going to have all the teachers read it...but Marcia got a sneak peak. The book emphasizes looking for solutions rather than focusing on problems and Marcia gives personal examples how her children are doing this. DECEMBER 2003 - PRIVILEGES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND FAMILY MEETINGS Inspired by a parenting education speaker at her children's school, Marcia helps her kids realize the difference between their essentials and their privileges, she revisits family meetings, and gets some well needed tips on managing homework. NOVEMBER 2003 - MARRIAGE - THE CENTRAL FOCUS Marcia has always been conscientious about not losing her sense of self while mothering her children but what about her marriage? The core of the family is the marriage and if its not being tended to then the family as a whole suffers. OCTOBER 2003 - THE CRIPPLING POWER OF EMOTIONS How would you like it if every day in your job you spent the entire time telling people to do all kinds of things they didn't want to do. Lots of moans, gripes and nasty looks - how long would you stay on that job? Well, Marcia feels like her job as a mother is exactly this! SEPTEMBER 2003 - LISTENING TO OURSELVES AS WE TALK TO OUR CHILDREN Marcia and family went on a huge vacation and as she stresses to her children to listen, she takes a good listen to herself and doesn't like what she hears. Oh, if we could only learn before we open our mouths! AUGUST 2003 - SUMMER AND OVEREXTENDING Summer should be left for spontaneity...but what about piano lessons, golf camp, and learning to ride a bike! Marcia thought the school year was busy and has vowed to make Summer more relaxed. JULY 2003 - THE JOB WARS CONTINUE Job charts sound so easy so simple so organized..but trying to get 3 kids to follow them everyday is quite a challenge. Consequences are an essential part of learning and Marcia has come up with some unique ways to insure her kids are getting their jobs done. APRIL 2003 - SMALL ON VACATION...BIG ON CLOSENESS A recent vacation helped Marcia's family regain some closeness. Away from the stress of home projects and work, the kids were the priority. Read her examples and maybe you can find ways to improve your own disposition. MARCH 2003 - DOUBLE TROUBLE A familiar title for twins, but Marcia has always felt her 7 year old girl and boy have been double the love. She assumed they would have different personalities but has been surprised by the other differences they have and the challenge her family is now facing. FEBRUARY 2003 - ROUTINES - THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE RIDICULOUS Marcia has three kids including twins. Life in her home is hectic especially with all the chores, after school activities, and her dedication to give the kids one on one time with each parent. Read her humorous account of her daily life of joys and struggles. JANUARY 2003 - BEYOND THE PARENTING BOOKS Parenting experts are great at giving opinions a lot of us can use, but what happens when you just can't follow the advice? Find out how Marcia adapted to fix a bedtime nightmare. DECEMBER
2002 - LOVE AND LOGIC |

STATS
Mother of a 10 year old girl Emma, and twins Keith and Rose, age 8. Married for 20 years. Profession: SAHM (stay at home mom) BIO Marcia is a native Washingtonian and has lived in Kitsap County since 1990. She has been married since 1983 and has three children, Emma 10, Keith and Rose, 7. Before her kids were born she received a bachelor's degree in Sociology and a minor in History. Besides various jobs to help put her husband through school, she worked in the social work field at a parent education agency.

She has no illusions about being an expert but only hopes to bring a little humor and perspective to other parents' lives so that with her own introspection she may encourage other parents.
