| Article Title :: Teach Your Child The Alphabet |
| |
| One of the first steps in becoming a successful reader is to learn to recognize the letters of the alphabet. The alphabetic principle teaches that spoken language is represented by written words that are made up of varying combinations of letters, and that these letters and combinations of them make up all of the sounds in spoken language. Attaching sounds to these letters and learning to write them paves the way to successful reading and writing.Learning to say their ABCs is a great start for any preschooler, but it is just as important for your child to learn the sounds of the letters. Preschoolers, who know the sounds of the letters of the alphabet, have an easier time learning (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Elimination Communication aka Potty Talk |
| |
| No, not that kind of potty talk. That's another topic altogether! I'm talking about Elimination Communication (EC), a new word given to an ancient practice: raising baby without diapers. E.C. is also referred to as Natural Infant Hygiene.When I first heard about Elimination Communication, my second child was about 8 months old. The concept intrigued me. I knew that women around the world did not use diapers, and though they wore their babies on their bodies, they didn't get wet on. They simply tuned in to their baby's cues and at the right time, held baby out over a bush and let nature take its course. I decided to try it with my son. I was tickled pink when I sat him on a little p (read full article) |

| Hypothermia or the “Inability to Maintain Body Heat” is a common problem with premature babies, and hypothermia is defined as “abnormally low body temperature”.

A premature baby may shiver, but many times they will not because of an under-developed shivering response.The reason a premature baby has such a difficult time kee (read full article) |
