Muscle Pain And Children Do Not Mix


I am in pain. I've been in pain all day. Last night, I was in "searing pain", which is pain multiplied by pain, divided by relief, then multiplied by pain to the tenth power. In case you are not a math whiz, that equals pain with 33 zeros after it. Two days ago, I was in pain (just regular pain, no zeros). In fact, I was in pain all week.

The ADD Child: Challenging Parents, Teachers and Friends


The ADD child exhibits a series of behaviors that are common in most children. Most children misbehave, act silly and day dream. So what, then, is the difference?

Finding Out Your Child Has a Disability: Its Not the end of the World


Finding out that a child has been born with a disability, or that a previously healthy child has suffered an injury or disease that causes a disability can be the most traumatic moment in a parent?s life. Shock is usually the first thing people experience. It can temporarily paralyze you, preventing you from taking action, or even making rational decisions.

Television - The Great SATAN!


I?ve often thought that in 6 million years, archaeologists will marvel at the devotion the 21st century Earthlings had to their household gods. Excavation will show these deities in virtually every home, obviously objects of devotion, the focal point in a room. The gods were believed without question.

The parent was secondary in influence to the various versions of these boxes with a glass screen that captivated an entire civilization.

Eating Disorders in Children


If I had a dollar for every time I persuaded a girl of 8 or 9 that they were not, in fact, fat, I?d be considerably richer. When my older daughter was about that age, their mothers were putting a lot of her friends on diets. It drove me absolutely crazy to see these poor little girls, worrying about their ?tummies? or ?fat? that wasn?t even evident, except to a mother who was hoping for a super model-skinny pre-pubescent child, which is ridiculous. When they were at my house, they ate well, I wouldn?t allow them to drink or eat anything diet and I encouraged them to eat healthy food that would strengthen their bodies and bones. I also tried to assure them that they were not fat; that they would grow into their bodies and they were absolutely beautiful just the way they were. With that came some nutritional education about eating a healthy combination of foods that would not make them fat, but strong and naturally slender.

Teaching Your Child To Lift a Car

Childhood Friendships


Childhood friendships are as special as they are a necessary part of growing up. While some of our children will maintain these friendships into adulthood, many will not.

Whatever form a childhood friendship is taking, know that these relationships are vital to your child?s well-being and growth as a human being.

Childrens Allowance


When we consider that the word allowance means, ?allowing for,? it puts that ?A? word into better perspective.
