If you have decided to add to your family through foster care or adoption, it’s crucial that you fully prepare your children for the new addition. Before your new foster or adopted child walks through your door and comes to stay, it’s important to make sure that your family is fully ready for the change that is about to take place. As you parent your children and begin to prepare them for their foster or adopted sibling, there are a number of things that should be kept in...
Following my commitment to general improvement of my medical knowledge and drive to help address as many client health issues as possible, I recently took a look at Diabetes and how the body is affected. During the course of my studies, I spoke with the experts at Dtsbuyers.com. They have good knowledge of this disease and run an offer that allows people to return all unused diabetic test strips for cash. In the course of our discussions, I was directed to a study carried out...
When you have kids, keeping them safe and healthy is your number one priority. Pests such as rats, mice, and ants can easily spread disease and pose a threat to the safety of your kids. Instead of taking the time to contact someone like these terminix pest control experts to remove the pests in the safest and most effective way, many people think to use pesticides when trying to get rid of pests. However, the problem with this is that they often contain harmful chemicals that...
One kid or more, it can be difficult to manage your time, especially if you have children that are into after school activities, and you are both working parents. You don’t have to let that stress run your life, there are ways to organize all of the things that you have going on. You just need to make a plan and stick with it, and always stay positive. ...
Especially now the summer holidays are upon us (a teacher’s dream, a parent’s nightmare – I’m so torn!), it can be difficult entertaining your kids (their cousins, your neighbours’ kids and friends’ kids, plus whoever else you’re in a babysitting rota with!), and it never hurts to have a bit of inspiration. I’ve known of the existence of Gulliver’s World since I was a kid as I’m from Warrington. I actually worked there as well – the job being kind of a rite...
Working mother with child on couch Not all women decide to be stay-at-home moms. There is nothing wrong with staying home and raising your kids, but there is also nothing wrong with heading back out into the world of full-time (or part-time) work after you’ve had children. While there is nothing wrong with it, it can sometimes be hard to do. ...
You hear Childline, you think abuse. Battered and molested children. Neglect. Evil parents. Not many people actually realise that those cases are just the tip of the iceberg for Childline, and that it’s a service that could prove useful at some point to practically every child in the UK. Even yours. What Do I Know? I don’t mean to come across as patronising, or as some do-gooder Know It All, I just want to share what I know about Childline as I think it’s a tool that could...
Exposing your children to great things is one of the best parts of being a parent. Giving your child their first ice cream bar, showing them the stars and introducing them to great artists are a few of the most wonderful aspects. Some artists appeal more to children than others, but there are a couple who are hugely influential to nearly everyone. Included here are a few of the great artists your children should be aware of. ...
Not too long ago when we were little kids, the mere knowledge that it was finally summertime again sent us into a state of delirium as our heads filled up with excited thoughts of all the mischief we’d now be able to get up to under the sun. You tend to look forward to just being able to jump into the pool and make a proper water bomb, or head to the beach to experience summer the best way we knew how. You only need to look at the printed photographs some of us still have of...
