It is really exciting when your child gets their first job. If you're wondering what they can do work-wise at such a young age, Careers4U has a great list of things that children as young as 14 may be able to do, so could be well worth sharing with your teenager to give them a bit of inspiration.

My Fear As A Mother

I Chaperoned A Field Trip To The High Museum

Nishe' had asked me to be the chaperone for her class a few weeks ago. When her teacher found out I was on board she asked me to chaperone her other class as well. I told her I would be happy to. I was a bit nervous though because this was my first time chaperoning a high :: Keep Reading ::
