5 Important Characteristics of a Children's Toothbrush
At this time, new worries emerge for the parents: they must teach the child to care for their teeth. It is very difficult to develop a habit in a child: kids usually get naughty, often lazy. Therefore, we must be patient and, of course, choose the right toothbrush for the child.

Healthy Hacks for Kids' Health
Raising children can be a rewarding and challenging life endeavor. As parents, you want to keep your children happy and healthy. You have to figure out how to teach your kids how to be healthier, and to make healthy decisions throughout life. Teach them lessons that will stick with them. They need to learn how to take care of their body inside and out. Kids do not always make the best decisions when it comes to taking care of themselves. But, there are things you can do at home that will help you make your kids’ lives healthier; mainly in the bathroom, the kitchen, and the living room.

A Vent, if You Will
I’m 14, and to my surprise, old enough to write on this website. Thankfully, of course but there’s nothing I feel like writing about more than this. I’ve just moved out of my moms house with my older sister, she’s 18 as of recently. We actually moved out the day before her birthday, and I feel terrible that it couldn’t have been as amazing as any one could hope their birthday to be. At least, happier than most days.

Child Abuse Prevention
Sometimes preventing child abuse doesn’t come from calling a hotline. Sometimes preventing child abuse starts with taking a deep breath, and following the path of most resistance… it comes from breaking the cycle, and beginning the heart-work of repairing one’s self.

My Everything
My Dearest Chandler, I carried you for nine months and as time went on I continued carrying you in my arms and my heart. You are at the tender age of two now and we have been separated since December 9, 2018. My sweet little boy, mommy made a difficult decision to change your future for the better. The relationship was toxic between your dad and me, and you witnessed most of it. Neither of us is perfect and we both failed you for that to carry on. Things were said that made me fearful of taking you with me, so that night, I kissed you on the cheek, with tears streaming down my face I walked out.

I Don't Want to Be a Mother
I love children just as much as the other person but the older I get, I'm settling into the idea that I might just be the fun aunt. I was raised in a very traditional Caribbean household where children are a must. I was the third of four children. My two eldest siblings already have children and I'm at the age where it's socially expected to start a family. But I STILL have reservations and here are my reasons:

From Single Mom to New Relationship
So you’re pregnant or have children? How beautiful. Giving birth is a feeling that only a woman can feel, a bond and experience like no other. However, what happens if your relationship with the biological father doesn’t work out? What happens when you meet someone new? What happens when your children are involved?

I Can't Believe He Doesn't Care
Let's start with a few facts about this awesome young man. At the age of four he was diagnosed as having Asperger's. This means he is on the Autism Spectrum. He didn't start talking until just before his fifth birthday. That was one of two milestones he was behind on. He walked at 15 months, was "scanning" and repeating via alphabet magnets (memorizing by looking at and becoming a human scanner), advertisements, and store signs at 18 months, and he was reading at three. As hard as I tried I couldn't fully potty train him before he started school because of fear. He was afraid of the toilet and was too big for potty chairs. He grew fast.

Toddlers & Tantrums (Pt. 1)
The day started as any other, the kids waking her up for the day before her alarm even has a chance to go off. Then it was on to clean clothes and breakfast, then meds for her oldest. All of this was the easiest part of her day. It was routine. Sadly, the attitude from her son was also becoming routine.

Being a Step Mom
I may not have given you life, but life gave me you. - Unknown The Beginning First meeting your step children, I will admit that it's very difficult. You wonder what's crossing the line and what doesn't, if you can or can't discipline them if they do something wrong. There are a lot of things you can't help but wonder because technically they aren't your kid yet. The hardest part for me was having the mother still in the picture. It made things tense when I was around her. She constantly was talking to my boyfriend about her daily life, and he talked to her about things happening. I couldn't help but think "are they actually over?" It's especially hard when you don't have a kid of your own, because any time you suggest something that would benefit their kid, they always say, "You never had kids, you wouldn't understand."
