MOMism: “Monkey-see, Monkey Do”

It’s so easy to get distracted in our busy lives, and let a false sense of security reign at home.  This article is a somber reminder that even in the confines of our own homes, that safety and careful monitoring of our kids is key.  After all, we have probably all caught our kids in the development of a “brilliant” idea, like tightrope walking the volleyball net, or swan diving from the gazebo into the pool.  Even on the monkey bars, peer pressure rears its ugly head. With friends ready to walk the plank together,  kid-os need the watchful eye and guidance of their O-MAMAs to steer them clear of danger.
