Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
Depriving Our Children
I took my nieces on a camping trip to Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona, Arizona last weekend. They rarely have the opportunity to get out of the city and I want to expose them to nature as much as possible in the hope that they will grow to appreciate the natural world.

Estrangement between a mother and adult child.
"Estrangement" This subject is not easy to talk about for anyone that is going through it. But there are thousands of parents dealing with this growing trend every day. I am about to share my story with you in hopes that you find that you are not alone. If? You are presently going through this you have an idea of what I am about to say. Most parents that are estranged from an adult child have had no explanation for why. Most go on for years with no contact whatsoever. This seems to become a trend these days. Our new generation of young people thinks this is the way you are allowed to treat your parents.

Mother of Autism
Hello everyone! So to start this is going to be a daily story of the journey of being a mother to a child who is autistic. I want people to know what it's like from the moment your child is diagnosed, to the steps you should take, and then what daily life is like.

Your Child During Quarantine
This is a scary time for all of us. We worry for our family, our friends, and ourselves. This time can be scary for not only us, but for our children. Everything has changed so quickly in their lives. They have gone from a steady and consistent routine, to uncertainty in their lives. What we do as parents can really help how our children are effected during this time. As a parent myself, I have seen how much these sudden changes have changed my child and his behavior.

Are your seedlings thriving or just surviving?
It is such a privilege to be able to immerse in the warmth of the sunshine, surrounded by the vibrancy of nature's colourful bounty, my nose filled with their heady bouquet. Accompanied by the chorus of birds announcing the arrival of longer days, I sit on the lush grass, the soft blades caressing my toes while the blossom from the apple tree gentle rains down its petals, like snow in the warm breeze.

Printed Worksheets: Balancing Your Child's Intellectual Growth
It is in the nature of children to be curious, playful and adventurous. Most of them would not last 10 minutes of just sitting down, with nothing to amuse their active minds. And as most parents would, you are likely looking for things that will occupy their time and attention while developing their various faculties.

Folk Wisdom and the Problem of Raising Children
According to Our World In Data, 56 million deaths were recorded in 2017. Ten percent of those were children under 5. This number was even higher than that of those who died at 50, 60, or 70 years old. To make it clear, the total death cases from 5 to 45 years of age just added up to that of children under 5.

American Parenting Style is Not Turning Your Children Us Presidents
What on earth do parents expect at their children, to “better” them at all costs? 1. The caring paradox A mother breastfeeding her child discovered a red bump in her armpits. Taken aback, she turned to her phone, googling: "armpit lymph nodes". Within half a second, the world's largest search engine handed her in over 160,000 results. It took her as much time to pass over any dermatitis, infection, or allergy causes. At that time, the only thing stillborn in the mother’s mind was purely "vigilant for breast cancer". The young mother, thereupon, splurged the next 3 hours scouring the Internet, seeking Dr.G’s advice, conjecturing that she’d caught a fatal disease.
