Children: Our most valuable natural resource.

How we manage differences of opinion between parents regarding the upbringing of children
Different styles of education, opinions about punishments or rewards, attachment style and much more can lead to big differences between partners and, in some cases, even family breakdown. Often, the perfect balance does not exist. Either one of the parents is stricter and the other more permissive, or one thinks that state education is perfect and the other wants to opt for a private school, or the parents do not agree on the optional activities for their children to do. Whatever the reason for the discussion, it is good to know that there are a number of tips that you can take into account to keep the relationship from eroding, despite differences of opinion regarding raising children.

Tips to Help Your Baby Fall Asleep
Having a baby is one of the greatest joys in life. It also can be the most exhausting time in your life. Though many people brag about their babies who sleep through the night when they are just a few weeks old, they are not the norm. More babies struggle to sleep for weeks, months, and even years.

Kinship and sperm market
Today there is a sperm market and a growing industrial sector in trade. The sperm banks date back to the 1930s and only involved cattle breeding. It will be about twenty years before the idea of creating human sperm banks emerges and another twenty years for the first commercial establishments to appear in the United States (Daniels and Golden, 2004). Currently, in Europe, the market is dominated by Danish companies whose clientele, consisting of couples (heterosexual or same-sex) and single women, is international. The technique of cryopreservation separates in time and in the donor and recipient space. Does this separation coupled with the possibility of selecting the donor from a very wide range of choices result in new ways of representing birth and kinship? To what extent do these representations, which refer to the notion of gene, mark an accentuation of the biological prism whose Euramerican conceptions of kinship are already strongly impregnated (Schneider, 1968)? Should we see in the genetic discourse only an avatar of the “biologisation” of kinship or, conversely, a significant inflection linked to the emergence of an elective kinship and an individual making reproductive choices?

15 Ways To Boost Child's Creative Thinking.
When we speak about creativity, we regularly discuss about it like it’s a intelligence we’re born with. Either you’re naturally a innovative person, or you’re not. In reality, though, dad and mom can foster their children’s innovative wondering skills at a younger age. While you can’t warranty that your youngster will emerge as the subsequent Picasso, you can supply them a leg up later in existence by means of gifting them all the equipment they want to assume creatively. Activities like art projects, constructing blocks, and innovative play can assist your adolescents enhance their innovative wondering abilities and illuminate their imaginations.

Kids Safety
In our modern society, social media is one of the most common ways we communicate with one another. This is true for adults and children. With summer break starting, many children will find even more time than usual to spend on their phones, tablets, or computers. Often they are communicating through social media apps. Do we know who they are talking to? Do they know?

The accidental fight
On today's episode of Parenthood should really come with a manual... I started a fight between my daughters on the school bus. I wasn't even there, and it was a complete and total accident... I keep forgetting what they say the path to hell is paved with.

BENEFICIARIES
WE ENLIST AND GO PATRIOTIC to serve and protect the general public, to be all we can be for the benefit of self, family, and our nation. In doing so we are obligated to leave our own home and family and to sign away parental right of authority to a chosen guardian, for a however permanent or temporary term. That requirement is considered to be "BY LAW" of the military enlistment contract, signing care of minor children... children under the age of eighteen, for control of their accessing education, food, housing, and general welfare. We sign and choose well from what resources are available to us. Until that consigned enlistment contract ends we owe trust to that selected guardian and expect that they will do well by our beneficiaries. Weekend Warriors... National Guard, are now included in active duty military performance overseas.

Being a mom is hard.
There's a saying along the lines of 'it takes a village to raise a child.' Well, where is mine? O had his early intervention evaluation today. We already knew that he qualified for EI services because of his hearing loss. Today determined which services would benefit him. I expected the worst-case situation, like usual. But, actually hearing the words about his delays shattered me. I was instantly overwhelmed and couldn't even form a sentence. I blurted out something about his verbal communication not being a worry of mine! What I meant to say was that I understand that it is important but I don't want him to only be able to communicate verbally. I don't have answers about O's hearing loss. We might never get the answers we are looking for. There is a possibility of his hearing getting worse. By the sounds of it, it's permanent. With that in mind, I want him to also learn ASL. I am learning and trying to teach him but he's severely delayed in his communication development. It was to be expected. Have you ever tried to keep hearing aids on a one-year-old? Not an easy task. Some days he does great, other days not so much. But, we try every day.

How Children's Stories Educate While Entertaining
Reading to your children is an excellent way for them to begin to absorb the building blocks of language and make sense of the world around them. Children learn concrete language skills like grammar and spelling when they’re old enough to read books themselves, but even the smallest of children with the shortest of attention spans learns a lot from books when their parents take the time to read to them. Reading to an infant helps the child learn sounds, words and language, which help develop literacy skills. They’ll also start to appreciate the value of the written word and the importance of books in general.
