While you're on www.HawaiiMoms.com, check out our discussion board, where one of the chats asks: To brag or not to brag? That is the question raging on www.HawaiiMoms.com, where moms are debating whether it's cool to boast about your child's accomplishments. One mom called jooliyah writes:

On one hand I think our Hawai'i culture tells us that it's not nice to brag about anything, even your kids. ... And this causes me to downplay my child's accomplishments. But at the same time, I know moms who do brag, and if I respond by either putting my child down or not saying anything about him at all, doesn't it make my child feel worse about himself? ... I want him to know he's awesome too and not think he's any less than he is.
