Beginner’s Guide to Meeting Horses and Ponies
If I had a pound for every time someone tells me a story about how their sister or friend put them on a horse and slapped it on the bottom and the person I am talking to got galloped off with, I would be a millionaire by now.

Teaching Children Resilience: 4 Strategies to Develop a Growth Mindset
"I'm rubbish at spellings... I never get them right." These words have been bouncing around in my head today after my six-year-old blurted it out during her morning practice. I know she can do it, and she does very often do well in her tests. But all too often I see her becoming frustrated and angry at herself for not being able to get them right as quickly as she would like.

Leopard Gecko Care
Leopard Geckos, or Eublepharis macularius, are one of the most popular pet lizards around. This is no doubt due to their docile nature, ease of care, and relatively cheap enclosure set-up.

Why Must We Be Kind to Creepy Men Just to Feel Safe?
It's the late afternoon, and you've just finished up at the office for the day. You're heading to the subway to catch the train home, picking a seat that tucks you away for the half hour it takes to get to your stop. With a sigh, you pull a book out of your bag and start to read. Your attention is pulled away from your book when you sense that someone is talking to you. A "friendly" man has just made a comment about your legs (wrapped in jeans and tucked into black polka dotted rain boots), mentions he's seen you on the train before and asks if you have a boyfriend. He has one hand in his pants and he smells like the tuna sandwich science project you found in the office refrigerator two days ago, but three of them, stacked on top of one another and jammed crazy far up your nostrils. You don't want to be rude, so you take a moment to consider your options before offering it to him. You feel a huge wave of relief when you realize he's heard you wrong. Other commuters give you quick-but-awkward sideways glances, the looks on their faces clearly glad that they chose not to sit where you're sitting right now. By the time you get home, you've already considered three alternate routes home from the office for the rest of the week.

Failed By the System
I was sexually abused by somebody I believed to be my friend. I was motionless at the time, shocked to again believe that this would happen to me, this is only the kind of stuff you read about it. But it happened to me.
