Frozen
I went to the movie Frozen last Sunday and had a new experience. All the "seats" in the theater were recliners!! Kind of like watching at home. If you live in Minnesota, you have had a FROZEN week. I had a tough Tuesday. I broke off a windshield wiper from my husband's truck, while scraping the ice off the windshield, because I did not clean off the truck right after the previous Thursday night snow/rain storm. My procrastination cost me $125, time, and my pride to have the truck "unthawed" and replace BOTH wipers before my husband arrived home from a trip. On-line Education Occurs Despite Record Low Temperature this Week - Congratulations!!!
Life, and especially Extension Educational Offerings, does not have to stop in Minnesota just because of record low temperatures, difficult driving conditions, and zero visibility. Just teach and learn from the comfort of your local office or your home!
Congratulations to Becky Hagen Jokela and her community partner for conducting a training on stress management for Powerful Tools Caregivers and to Lori Hendrickson, Becky Hagen Jokela, Sharon Danes and Jennifer Garbow for teaching about Post-Secondary Debt this week. Minnesota has one of the highest student loan averages in the country.Scholarship - Take Advantage of this Winter Writing Time

Parent Internet Use During a Child's Emerging Adulthood:
Implications for ExtensionPetree, Chelsea A.; Dworkin, Jodi
Parents frequently use the Internet to connect with professionals and other parents for information and support, but parents of emerging adults have fewer resources to rely on than parents of younger children. This article explores how parents of 18 to 25 year olds used the Internet to connect with others, including differences by parent age, education, and income. Findings reveal that parents of emerging adults used a variety of activities for parenting and used specific activities for different purposes. Findings directly benefit Extension professionals who aim to address the needs of parents of emerging adults via the Internet.
