I am trying to help a child who is not 15 an has been in foster care since the age of 4 years, and would love to hear insight from those of you who experienced a childhood in foster care.

There are different causes of bed wetting, it is not just something your child would do to get into your nerves.  These are night time accidents that could happen even with the best potty trained children.  Some would say that children would outgrow bed wetting, but there are some parents who are anxious to help their children get over with them.  Bed wetting could interfere with your child’s social activities like attending slumber parties and camps.  Aside from interfering with social activities, it could also affect the child’s confidence and esteem. Within the age of five years old, about 20%…

As a grandparent, it can be quite tempting to view your role as that of being an additional parent to the child and behave towards them in a similar way to how you behaved towards their parent, your child. To some extent there is a lot of merit in this. There is no such thing as too much intelligent guidance for a child at any stage of their life.

Last night I was reading a cute little book about penguins to my 5 and 7 year old daughters. It was a typical kids book right up to the last page where it suddenly changed to global warming propaganda. Why does the left feel the need to indoctrinate kids at such an early age? Why do they feel that such small children need to be worrying about such big issues?
For those of you that will say this is not fearmongering, I would like to add in the early 70’s when I was in grade school I remember having…

The health benefits that a baby gets from breastfeeding are crucial to a child’s development. So the question remains, is breastfeeding for you? Mother’s milk contains the most perfect optimal mixture of antibodies and nutrients that a child needs for their growing and developing bodies while enabling it to keep pace with the changing nutritional needs of the child. While formula has come a long way and very nutritional it has yet been able to duplicate or replace what mother’s milk gives to the child.

Breastfeeding is natural, it is by far the most nutritional but breastfeeding is also a…
