ARCADIA — Defense has the been the bell cow for the Ruston High School girls basketball team this season, and the Lady Bearcats were at it again Monday night at Arcadia High School.
Seems more and more lately I have people talking about the deer near their homes. Several years ago, they would mention how beautiful it was to wake up and look out into their backyards and see the deer walking through. But for some time now it’s more of a complaint about the damage these animals do to ornamental and garden plants.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I’ve been dating this guy for four months. He finally told me he wants to get exclusive, which means introducing me to the most important person in his life: his daughter. This is the first I am hearing of a daughter. He never mentioned her when I met him. It’s a complete surprise, and I don’t know what to do now. She is still young, and having me in her life is huge because I know the type of influence people can have on kids at that age. I just don’t know if I’m ready for that.
Q: I teach 3- and 4-year-olds in a child care center. I always have a few difficult children in any group and the book in which you describe Alpha Speech [The Well-Behaved Child] has been very helpful. My disciplinary options are limited to separating a mis behaving child out of the group for a few minutes and talking, but I cannot isolate or take privileges away. We walk on eggshells when it comes to discipline so that a parent doesn’t file a complaint against us. What suggestions do you have for preschool teachers?
