Making Your Child Hold a Sign in Public as Punishment – Too Humiliating?

The Brad — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:16:42 +0000

A child misbehaves and as punishment, the child is humiliated by having to hold a sign in a public area stating what they had done wrong. This kind of scenario has risen in popularity as numerous forms of social media become more popular. I’ve seen it in other parts of the country, but hadn’t witnessed [...]

How Much Should I Pay a Tri-Cities Babysitter? [POLL]

Andrew Kirk — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 22:30:34 +0000

The other night I asked a couple people -- including a stranger -- how much we should pay the babysitter if the kids were asleep the whole time. They all said, "Nothing." WHAT?! I know that's not right, but how much is fair? We usually end up paying between $13-$16 for three kids age 6 and below for between 2-3 hours (they're usually asleep for at least some of it). Is that good? What's fair?

Who Remembers Tri-Cities Junior Soccer?

Andrew Kirk — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:05:07 +0000

I’ve been nostalgic for my childhood lately and was remembering the way youth soccer used to be in Tri-Cities. My kids are too young to play now, so I can’t compare and contrast, but here are my favorite things about the way things used to be: The Patches – every year you played you received [...]

Watch Sandy Hook School Children Perform a Moving Rendition of 'Over the Rainbow'

It's Tuesday, so you probably need a good cry. Here, watch this video. It's children from Sandy Hook Elementary performing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' on 'Good Morning America.' The kids recorded the song, with folk musician Ingrid Michaelson, at the home of former Talking Heads members Tina Weymouth and Christ Frantz.

Best (Free) Indoor Playgrounds for Kids in the Tri-Cities

Andrew Kirk — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:00:40 +0000

If you're like me, you've got stir-crazy kids asking to play in the back yard, go on a walk, go to a park -- anything outside. But it's RAINING! It's cold, drizzly, cloudy! That's when I turn to indoor playgrounds. A couple of gymnastic facilities have awesome playgrounds, but they can also be pricey. Fast food is my solution. For the price of a small fry or dollar burger I buy admission to the play area and let my kids get out their wiggles.
A few weeks ago we asked what your favorite free indoor playgrounds were. Below are the answers in the map. Below that is the survey where you can leave your own suggestion.

Greg's Son Wants to Be a USAF Pararescue Jumper – Diving Into Hell 'That Others May Live'

Greg DeLange — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:03:29 +0000

My son is joining the Air Force in a few weeks. I was surprised when we got a call saying he had been accepted to try out for the Pararescue Jumpers. I didn't know what that was, so I looked it up. Hooooly Cow!

10 Adorably Bratty Christmas Kids

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 21:26:58 +0000

Little kids are the best. They're pro photobombers and make super weird raps about McDonald's, and that's just scratching the surface. But munchkins can also be the worst. Don't get us wrong-- their adorableness usually overrides any of those 'tudes they try and pull, and you know how we're suckers for anything remotely adorable. But sometimes that awful side emerges in those rare moments of brattiness, and we're left sort of dumbfounded.

Do You Play Board Games After Thanksgiving Dinner?

Stacy Lee — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 16:56:37 +0000

A new survey says 56 percent of Americans play board games after Thanksgiving. 64 percent said they watch football (I wonder how many watch football while playing board games). But popular culture hardly ever talks about the board games. What do you do? “Scrabble” is a popular one. Kids love “Monopoly.” “Settlers of Catan” is [...]

Giving Pumpkins to Eastgate Has Gone to the Dogs

Greg DeLange — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:35:51 +0000

A couple weeks ago KORD asked the community to help replace Eastgate Elementary’s pumpkins. One donation from a dog brought community service full circle. If you don’t remember, a thief stole over a dozen pumpkins from a Kindergarten class’s garden. The kids had planted them last March to harvest this fall. After the story was [...]

Sometime over the weekend someone stole pumpkins and ripe tomatoes from a garden at Kennewick's Eastgate Elementary maintained by the Kindergarten class for a science project. The garden was planted LAST MARCH and they kids were looking forward to harvest time! About 14 pumpkins were stolen and, according to a teacher, they were BIG! Give back the pumpkins!

Should Parents Take Noisy Kids Into Restaurants? – See the Poll Results

Andrew Kirk — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:08:28 +0000

As a parent of three small children (5 years old, three years old and 1 year old) I'm often in the uncomfortable position of taking noisy kids into restaurants. Sometimes I'm embarrassed, sometimes I think other people should just deal with it (kids are part of life). I never know what the ethics of the situation are. So I decided to ask YOU.

Kids Trying Ice Cream for the First Time Will Brighten Your Day
