  • Are You Raising Bratty Kids?  By : Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
    Jeffrey consulted with me because his three-year old son, Jason, was hitting and having temper tantrums. Jeffrey was mystified because he and his wife, Collette, had never hit or yelled at Jason.

  • Overweight Kids  By : Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
    When I was growing up there was rarely an overweight child. Occasionally someone would be plump, but I can’t remember anyone in my class being fat. However, TV wasn’t around until I was eight years old and the streets were a safe place to play. We had plenty of P.E. in school and played hard after school. Even as we grew older and had more homework, physical activity was a major part of our lives. And there wasn’t as much junk food around yet.

    Today, the combination of pro...

  • “Smart Babies”: Learning As Early As Possible  By : Jessica Davis
    The mind of a child as he or she is in the early years is like an empty basket. This is often called as “tabula rasa” in developmental psychology. This mind is then gradually fed with information from the surroundings especially from those that are very accessible to him or her.

    This makes the development of a child’s mind very complicated. There are threats around, but a child must not stop learning because he or she is in the true foundation age of life. The inputs in th...
  • What Your Child Can Learn From The Power Rangers (And You Can Too)  By : Deanna Mascle
    I am the mother of a five-year-old American boy who occasionally watches television. This means that we are now members of the Power Ranger Cult. I admit when I was first exposed to these multi-colored heroes I was more than a little disdainful. I did much to dissuade my son from his attachment, but it was pretty difficult to counteract the spell of the warrior-teens, their paleontologist leader, and dinosaur helpers. As time went on, new generations of Power Rangers came int...

  • Origin Of Halloween  By : Susanne Myers
    Have you ever wondered where the idea of dressing up for Halloween, or the idea for Halloween in general came from? After all, it is kind of an odd tradition. Children dress up in costumes, pretending to be someone else and then "threaten" to play a trick on their neighbors, unless they receive some candy.

    The tradition of Halloween goes back to an ancient Celtic custom. As far back as the 5th century B.C. Celtic tribes in Ireland believed that the spirits of the dead were...
  • Dealing With A Crying Child While Driving  By : C Criswell
    Even the calmest, most perfect child can turn into a crying scream machine in the car. A wet diaper, an uncomfortable seat belt, or the pangs of hunger or thirst can send any child into a crying fit that can test the patience of even the most subdued of parents. An angry or screaming child can also make the drive itself more dangerous as you become more distracted by the screams of your toddler. Bad moods are contagious. If you allow yourself to become angered by your child's...

  • Parenting - Gifted Children  By : Bill Ronin
    Raising a gifted child is not always as perfect as it might seem. Many times, people expect more from a gifted child than he or she is able to accomplish. Even though gifted children are very bright and they seem to learn very quickly, that does not mean that they are as advanced emotionally as they are intellectually.

    This is one reason some parents decide not to let their children skip a grade. They believe their children will benefit more from being with peers their own...

  • What Does Disciplining A Baby Mean?  By : Jean Masterson
    Disciplining a baby? What do you mean by it? How can one discipline a toddler? It sounds so absurd! - But yes, the parents should discipline a child from his early age. Of course I am not talking about some rigid rules for the child, but discipline can be maintained by some ‘soft’ guidance. For instance, when he grabs an unsafe thing and puts it in his mouth, the mother should stop him doing that. She is limiting his doings, restricting his works as he wishes. Don’t assume di...

  • Midwives: Your Best Bet!  By : Yvonne Lapp Cryns
    History

    In 1900 half of all Americans were born into the hands of a midwife, at home. Early studies comparing the birth outcomes of physicians versus midwives showed that midwives had fewer maternal and infant loses than the doctors.

  • Homebirth: As Safe As Birth Gets  By : Yvonne Lapp Cryns
    Each year in America, approximately 1% of the births occur in home settings. In Illinois in 1992, 1,218 families filed birth certificates that reflected a homebirth. Approximately one-third of the births occurred to Black families.

  • Home Birth Is A No-Brainer  By : Yvonne Lapp Cryns
    Home birth with a midwife is a no-brainer -- government statistics since statistical compilation began a century ago show the superiority of non-medical midwife-attended home birth.

  • What Does Your New Baby See In His First Days?  By : Opal Victoria
    We, the adults generally think that the babies are naïve. They are completely unaware what’s going around them. The truth is we are the naives enough to consider the total incapability of the kids. In old days, the adults thought that the newborn babies are almost blind. They are unable to focus on things.
