We all experience those accidents around the home – the ones that we know are completely stupid and should have known better to avoid, but happened anyway. Whether it’s because we’re rushing around and not being as careful as we should be or one of those freak things that occurred because someone else in the house is at fault, these injuries...
Does your family have a mission? Cue the Mission: Impossible theme song. I am an action flick gal. I have seen every James Bond movie at least three times, I was first in line to see Transformers, and I never miss a superhero adventure. So, when the topic of missions comes up, it is no surprise that the first thing that pops in my mind is the theme...
The digestive system is the system in the body that is responsible for the breakdown of food, absorption of nutrients from food, and the elimination of the waste and water the body does not need. It’s made up of important organs, parts and chemicals, which all work together to do these things. One might compare the digestive system to a hose that...
The sex abuse cases that you see on the news or hear about are just the tip of the iceberg. Even as the magnitude of Penn State sex abuse case hit the news, I knew it was only a matter of time before more schools would become embroiled in similar crisis.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It’s true that germs are everywhere, and your kids will be at school, daycare or playgroups with coughing, sneezing and runny...
The Internet is a wonderful way for children to learn about the world, to be creative, to study, to be entertained, and to communicate with friends and family. But it can also bring risks, exposing young minds to inappropriate content and strangers who may not always have the best intentions. During this holiday season, keep in mind your kids will...
Human beings live with and are surrounded by billions of bacteria and viruses. Some are good and help our bodies, but some make us sick. Lucky for us — and not so lucky for the bad bugs — getting into the human body is not easy. These bug invaders will try to get through in many ways: through the skin, nose, mouth, ears or eyes. Thankfully the...
If you’re a parent, you know well that you have many jobs when it comes to your children’s well-being. But did you know that one of these is being your child’s sexuality educator? Teaching your child about sexuality, in the context of your own family values, is one of the most important jobs you have—yet it is the job parents usually get the...
The issue of homework is still one of those really intense issues that gets talked about around the lunch tables, water coolers and playgrounds everywhere. Teachers talk about it too and just like every family has their take on what homework should look like, so does every individual teacher. Some people believe that homework can make learning rote...
