Featured Edmonds Patch Blogger: Paddy Eger

From time to time we like to feature some of our most dedicated bloggers on Patch.

Longtime Edmonds resident Paddy Eger is a retired Edmonds School District teacher with more than 20 years of experience working with children and their parents. She's also recently written a book for schools - Educating America: 101 Strategies for Adult Assistants in K-8 Classrooms.

Lucky for us, she's chosen to share her expertise on Edmonds Patch.

In a recent blog post, Eger encourages family time at the table. Sure it's great to share meals with your family, but why not enjoy a good conversation, too? In her latest post, It's a Date! Awesome April Events, she offers conversations starters that are sure to pique the interest of both young and old.

During her first year of blogging on Patch, she's shared her expertise as a former teacher on how to work with children of different ages, in various situations. Have you ever wondered how to include the kids in making a holiday meal, or what to do with them during those long summer months? Check out Eger's blog posts for some helpful tips to engage with school-aged children.

We look forward to her next blog!
