I’m Tired! I’m So Tired!

August 28, 2020 By Nathaniel Turner

I'm Tired! I'm So Tired!

I must tell you that it’s hard to write these days. I’ve so wanted to share things parents should be doing to enhance the education children are receiving during the “new normal.” Tools, techniques and strategies parents can employ nowadays to take over their children’s education independently. Methods and processes that genuinely prepare parents ... [Continue Reading]

American’s Can’t Chew Bubble Gum and Walk at the Same Time

July 15, 2020 By Nathaniel Turner

Self Portrait With Bubble-Gum

When I was a child, and my father wanted to make fun of a person who couldn’t do more than one thing at a time, he would say, “They can’t walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.” As a child, I routinely took his words literally. I expected when I saw someone walking and chewing bubble-gum to eventually find that person with bubble gum stuck ... [Continue Reading]

Stop Fetishizing, Examine Your Humanity

Stop Fetishizing, Examine Your Humanity

As I mentioned in last week's post, I would continue sharing things children and parents could be doing at times, such as these. In particular, I promised to provide suggestions for changes we can make in our behavior so that public lynchings like George Floyd and bottommost levels of civility modeled by people like Amy Cooper are no longer outward ...

Give Me My Flowers

“Give Me My Flowers”, a song performed by the late Reverend James Cleveland, has crossed my mind quite a bit lately.  If you’ve never heard “Give Me My Flowers”, click here to listen. “Give Me My Flowers” “Give Me My Flowers” is an encouraging reminder for all of us to stop taking life and the existence of those whom we profess to care about and ...

Stand Up, The Vultures Are Circling

October 26, 2017 By Nathaniel Turner

Stand Up, The Vultures Are Circling

The last time we were together, I encouraged you to make sure your children had less Timon and Pumbaa in their lives and more Mufasa.  In sum, I urged you to make sure your children are being raised to have a deep and abiding reverence for who they are so that they never lose sight of what is expected of them. During our time apart, I hope you ... [Continue Reading]

Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears A Crown

June 27, 2017 By Nathaniel Turner

Uneasy Lies The Head That Wears A Crown

In Henry IV, Part II, Act III, Scene 1, William Shakespeare wrote a line that should be forever tattooed on the foreheads of every child. Okay, perhaps “tattooed” is a bit strong. Allow me a moment to pause so that I may make it perfectly clear that I’m not proposing any form of child abuse. Nor am I advocating that parents should literally ... [Continue Reading]

November 12, 2016 By Nathaniel Turner

Election 2016: America is Who We Thought She Was

Like most parents, I too talked to my son about the outcome of Election 2016.  However, different than many would expect, our discussion of Election 2016 was not a pretentious oblivious lament about the current State of the Union.  Instead, our conversation centered squarely around the fact that the outcome was the one we long expected. Contrary ... [Continue Reading]
