| Article Title :: Tips For Keeping Your Kids Safe Online |
| |
| When kids get to the age of being able to switch on and use a computer on their own, we parents need to start thinking about making sure they are safe online. It’s all too easy for kids to stray onto inappropriate websites even after doing a seemingly harmless search.
The first challenge for a lot of parents is in being aware of the dangers. These are many and varied – everything from pornography to ‘meeting’ strangers online in forums, chat rooms and through spam email. Sometimes these dangers can come from innocent use of the internet – for example, search engines, instant messaging or unscrupulous sites with no decent privacy policy.

| Article Title :: Hindu Baby Names and Their Meanings |
| |
| Hindu people take naming their children very seriously. They give their children names that will guide them to live a life of morality. The name is often reminiscent of divine qualities. Hindus often name their children after holy people, sages, saints, and even use the names of God and the Gods.
Many people are looking for exotic and unique names for their babies today. Tired of the same old names like William and Mary, some are looking towards Hindu names to find one for their baby that will make them stand out as an individual.

| Article Title :: Immigration Rally Was a Valuable Lesson For Students |
| |
| The recent immigration rally on the National Mall sparked controversy for Montgomery County High School in Rockville, Maryland. School officials allowed students to participate in the march and to claim state-required "community service" hours for the experience. This decision set off the tempers of otherwise-sensible parents, who inundated district offices with irate phone calls. They wanted an explanation. After all, community service is helping old folks in the home or serving lunch at the shelter or raising money for your favorite charity. It's not about picking sides in a political debate. Or is it?
Not sure myself, I decided to visit the Maryland State Department of Educat (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Enjoy Your Kids |
| |
| The mind spins from one task to another and half the time, you are trying to remember what it was that you forgot. In fact, you’re not even sure if you actually forgot anything! And the kids are screaming for you all the time and you feel yourself losing grasp of life, of living…of control.An ordinary day of a mother.It’s amazing, if you look at the way a mother spins from one chore to another, how they (we) keep sane. I sometimes sit down after the kids have gone to bed and wonder how I survived the day. I wonder if there is a rope that kept me hanging in there to keep me falling into the dreaded pits of insanity. Sometimes, giving up or running away seems like such a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Babies Can Read: How and Why! |
| |
| Yes, babies can read. Here we present how and why.Our challenge lies in understanding how and why babies learn to read. Is it a difficult task? Maybe it isn’t -- once we take into consideration the amount of works written on childhood development regarding other age groups. Teaching the baby to read and explaining what happens inside and out of the baby is a post-Piaget or Vygostsky issue. It doesn’t imply questionings like appropriate linguistic training nor does it make the pre-op child overcome difficulties his/her thought process might find only in the operatory plane. The reading done by babies results from a mechanism which precedes these problems, and it is develo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Helping The Aggressive Child |
| |
| Chuck, an active ten-year-old boy, was fidgeting as he was sitting in the large gold reclining chair. His busy hands and feet were moving constantly, and his eyes were reflecting his fears. Chuck did not want to be in my office but his mother, Pat, thought it was important for him to resolve his problems, and insisted that he come in for one counseling session.Pat sat upright on the couch as she told me about Chuck’s angry outbursts, his desire to kill animals, his willingness to follow his destructive friend blindly—even when he knew the behavior was wrong, his hurtful aggression to his younger brother, and the complaint he received from his teacher about his bad attitude in c (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Letter to My Son - You are Leaving Home Today |
| |
| You are leaving home today. I keep repeating that statement over and over in my mind, trying to understand what it means. I have had your lifetime to prepare for this, sometimes wanting it to come quickly and sometimes hoping this day would never come. Most of the time though, I have been preparing myself and preparing you, by madly gathering life’s questions and answers in the hope that I haven’t forgotten anything. I keep revising the list inside my head; checking off all the things I know I’ve already told you – so many times.As tempting as it is to slip a few of the big ones into a casual conversation I correct myself and let it go. An image of your face appears before (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Protect Children From Drowning - Part 1: Layers of Protection Around the Backyard Swimming Pool |
| |
| Drowning is often a "silent death" because a victim is usually unable to splash violently or call for help, as one might expect. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the second leading cause of death for children 1-14 years old, and an extensive study performed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found that "75 percent of the children involved in swimming pool submersion or drowning accidents were between 1 and 3 years old." In addition, the CPSC's study revealed the following statistics:
Most of the victims were being supervised by one or both parents when the swimming pool accident occurred.
