     Meet Our Bloggers!

Karen Alley, The Daily Post. As web editor, Karen blogs every day about news and events that are going on either in our area or on a national realm. Bringing together hot topics with local ties is what keeps her perspective on the news interesting.

Renee, Teen-dom Tales, provides a look into the life of a mom of a teen, a stage of life that brings with it a whole new realm of parenting challenges.

Stephanie, Mamma Said, writes witty and insightful posts chronicling the development of her two young boys, ages 3 and 1. As a Greensboro resident, they're out and about at locales around the Triad quite often, and she also brings in the working mom perspective at times, with her part time job.

Lisa, The Single Mom's Soliloquy, adds a different spin on parenting as she writes about the issues, challenges and joys of raising a daughter as a single mom. Her look at life in the new world order of blended families and split families is refreshing and sometimes controversial.

Heather Maggs, of The Time Out Corner, presents a humorous blog on the roller coaster life of a stay-at-home mom of a toddler.

Myra Wright, familiar to you as our editor, also blogs in Piedmont Ponderings. It's a great outlet for her creative sense of humor, and she brings some great perspective to life in King as the mother of three kids.

More Layoffs: How to tell the Kids

Publish On 04-28-2009 , 4:33 AM

Every time I think the economy might have hit rock bottom and be on its way up, there seems to be more bad news. Yesterday both HanesBrands and PPG announced layoffs, two companies that will affect many parents here in the Triad.

Whether you happen to work for one of these places or not, the downturn in the economy is affecting families in all of our local communities. And when it comes to layoffs and kids, it turns out honesty might just be the best policy. Your instinct is to protect them from the harsh reality, but no matter how much of a happy face you put on your life, kids pick up on the underlying stress, and are often silent carriers of stress in the family.

It's important to help your kids understand that no one is at fault, and often in situations like we're going through in our economy, things are completely black and white either. For more help with talking to your kids, and what different age groups can handle, check out the tips from the Child Guidance Center.
