Reasons to Say “No” to Circumcision
Circumcision
is a very controversial and emotionally charged topic. Even
doctors have their personal feelings about the procedure — and
unfortunately, they do not all agree. A doctor advising circumcision
of a healthy infant for any reason is going against the recommendations
of every medical
association in the world.
Some
Children More Vulnerable to Bullying
Researchers
looked at three different types of aggression in the classroom:
teasing, threats and physical aggression. Whereas many socially
competent students may deal with these situations successfully
on their own, children with poorer social skills will likely
need adults to intervene.
First-Born
Jealousy
Our
first-born is showing extreme jealousy towards the new baby.
He’s obviously mad at us for disrupting the predictable
flow of his life with this new challenger for our attention.
How can we smooth things out?
A
Call for Gentleness
The
greatest source of danger to our human lives is, unfortunately,
other humans. Our human species is unique in its ability to attack,
decimate, maim and destroy itself. It requires little effort for
us to kill one another or ourselves.
Toddler
With a Mop
The
next time Maia came into the kitchen, I tried something new. Standing
her up on the seat of a chair, I set her in front of the rinse
water. Suddenly my whining toddler was happily helping with “dwisses.” I
washed them, then she rinsed and put the dishes on the rack. The
task sped by with happy chatter.
I
think that my 9-month old granddaughter needs more solid
foods, and
my daughter insists that babies cannot digest food this
early.
Will more solids help my granddaughter sleep through the night?
Your
Child’s First Dentist Visit
First
visits to the dentist can set up life-long fears and anxieties — or
they can be a normal part of life. When I was a kid, we didn’t
start going to the dentist until we had our adult teeth. Nowadays,
dentist recommend having the first visit around age three for
kids whose teeth seem healthy.
Cardboard
Box Halloween Costumes
Some
adorable costumes have come to light using little more than
a cardboard box, some paint and lots of imagination. Here are
several ideas to choose from. Happy Halloween!
Everything
About Birthstones
As a new parent or an old
pro, there’s something wonderful about the birthstone.
What does it mean? What can we find with our birthstone on it?
Even
children love to learn about their birthstones and receive special
gifts.
