| Article Title :: Kids In a Bubble |
| |
| As you’re wiping your child’s hands with instant hand sanitizer, you may hear some people say, “When I was a kid we didn’t have sanitizers for everything. How do today’s kids build their immune system if we keep them in a bubble?”The reality is, the bubble has been burst, as more kids than ever before are trotting off to daycare at young ages, going to restaurants and traveling on airplanes more frequently than generations past. While we are doing our best to expose our kids to these enriching experiences, we’re also exposing them to viruses and bacteria that spread easily from person to person. Since children under the age of five are more prone to complications f (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Incomplete Duration of Pregnancy |
| |
| As a rule, a future mother imagines her baby’s birth in all details. And of course, after complete 9 months. Any violation of assumed march of events involves panic and can even cause depression. This is quite understandable, taking into account the fact that some future mothers find themselves in a labour ward right after their working place, and others – literally in the first days of a maternity leave.Most often, pre-natal infections and anhormonia of a woman’s organism serve as a reason for premature birth (when a baby is born on the term less than 37 complete weeks of pregnancy). There’re also reasons of psychological character: when a woman feels stress or negative e (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Is It Easy Being a Step-Parent? |
| |
| Shall we move in together!Having lived a life without children (not through anything else other than fete), having a place of my own and having some spare cash at the end of the month, what a culture shock to move in with the woman you love, but at the same time take on her 15 year old teenage son and 16 year old daughter. How can it be that teenagers in this modern day, do not know how to close doors and drawers, why does everything need to be done for them? They expect to live in a home and be able to treat it like a hotel? I will just use this item, I'm sure it will go back where I got it from on its own!How about coming back from holiday and the teenage girl announcing t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: MMR Vaccine - Is it Safe or Not Safe or is There a Better Way? |
| |
| The MMR Vaccine is a very controversial subject, leaving a large percentage of Parents of young children at best confused,and at worst a number of people frightened.
This is a compound vaccine which innoculates against Measles, Mumps and Rubella all in one go.
It is understandable to be fearful of something which has not yet, it seems, been clearly dismissed from being the cause, or partial cause of Autism in small children.But what if your child were to contract one of those diseases as a result of not being protected against it?
Is the MMR vaccine the best protection against them, or does it create more problems than it solves?There are a number of innoculations (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Parenting Advice on Child Safety Precautions - Scare Tactics or Essential Modern Parenting? |
| |
| Thirty five years ago I was seven years old, and the 1970’s were approaching. This meant meant I was an unsuspecting subject for my mother’s zany sewing experiments. Floral flairs with pompom fringing. Hmmm. Back then I walked the three mile round trip to school each day, ambling along like I had all the time in the world, blatantly picking flowers out of people’s front gardens to give to my teacher so she wouldn’t mention I was late. I vaguely recall the occassional 'stranger danger' message, but without actual case studies child abduction formed no more a part of parenting conversations back then as did the appropriate age for teenagers to get body piercings.One of my fav (read full article) |

| I am really happy and easy-going, when I live alone, or I am
surrounded by people who don’t push my buttons!I don’t really believe that God intended me to live life as a hermit,
or to live a sedate, unchallenged existence, so, I have 2 children!
Two little people, just 3 and 6, who are so capable of causing a
disturbance in my neat and tidy world!I like nice, happy, peace and quiet in my life. I start my day with a
morning meditation and a morning program to get me in the right
frame of mind for the rest of the day.My 3 year old son feels otherwise! He finds me. He drapes himself
over my lap and starts an endless chatter with his many toys.

| Article Title :: What Parents Should Teach their Children (Before They Leave Home) |
| |
| When I was eleven, my father divorced my mother and moved thousands of miles
away. We had little contact and I had to learn to be on my own. My mother worked
nights at the post office and slept days. Consequently, I ended up doing the
shopping and some of the cooking. It was a tough life, but we managed. I learned to
repair just about anything because we couldn’t afford a service call. My mother died
when I was 22, just after I graduated from college. But I had survived and, in later
years, this accumulated knowledge would come in handy. I wished I had a mentor or
older person to have learned from, but what choice did I have?Since then, I’ve raised a daughter and (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How Old Should a Child Be to Start Serious Athletic Training? |
| |
| Do you think your child is an exceptionally fast runner or swimmer? Outstanding in gymnastics, skating or little league baseball? Young children can start training for athletic competition at a very young age as far as their bodies are concerned, but they should not start before they want to accept the regimented lifestyle required for athletic competition.In 1967, I started competitive long distance running for young children and was the first national chairman of the age group committee of the Amateur Athletic Union and The Road Runners Club of America. Children came from all over the United States and Canada to compete in age group cross country and track running. Many were c (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Raising Teenagers - 5 Strategies Your Grandparents Knew |
| |
| Raising teenagers today takes guile, native cunning and old-fashioned trickery. Qualities that your grandparents probably had. Here are five strategies for raising teenagers that your grandparents had and forgot to pass on to their children:1. Mess with their minds – use facts, not scare tacticsGeneration Y’s live in each other’s pockets and they tend to reflect each other’s views, which are often narrow and lack some historical perspective. It is useful then for older generations to let their views be known to provide Gen whY’s with a different perspective. It needs to be done in a way that is not self indulgent and that doesn’t lecture - with tact and guile. (read full article) |
