The Associated Press has an excellent list of ways to help kids sleep longer. It covers things like temperature, activity and schedule.
Compiled by Doctor Stephen Sheldon from Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital and Jodi Mindell, author of “Take Charge of your Child’s Sleep“, the list provides some great guidelines to make your kids are well rested. […]
Sherry over at Inside Motherhood posted quite an interesting list of her pet peeves about how society portrays dads. Not quite what I expected from a motherhood blog, but right on! She makes some great points as these things make me mad, as well.
Peeve number 1, dads are portrayed as inept.
How many commercials […]
Also spotted on BadDadRadio.com, the Lockdown Alert service notifies you of emergencies and disruptive events in your school district that might effect your child. These disruptive events include things that happen at the school (e.g. phoned in bomb threat) to situations in the vicinity (e.g. a shooting nearby).
Lockdown Alert works with almost any pre-kindergarten, […]
Many of the things I remember fondly from my childhood would no longer be looked upon well by many parent’s groups, certain cartoons in particular. I remember thinking that Race Bannon from Jonny Quest was a bad ass because when he shot at a villainous pterodactyl or mad scientist he actually hit his target, but […]
Fruits and vegetables are a significant element of good pregnancy nutrition. My wife and I always try and make sure she gets enough of each to make sure the little sprout (baby) is properly nourished and growing strong. As a step towards that end we decided to have some apples last night, albeit in pie […]
Inside Motherhood featured a post about a 17 year old Kenny Partanen from Florida who disarmed his saw wielding neighbor and grappled him into submission. Right on Kenny, you’re an official bad ass and you can’t even vote yet.
Now here’s something you don’t hear every day. Kenny Partanen, a 17-year-old boy in Florida was at […]
My wife and I took an infant CPR class tonight, part of which included the Heimlich Maneuver for pregnant women. I always wondered how you would administer assistance to a choking expectant mother and tonight I got the answer.
The maneuver, adjusted for pregnant women and generally obese individuals is to utilize chest thrusts instead of […]
Although my child is not yet born, I’m already wondering how my choices as an individual and parent will affect his personal development. One question in particular is to what degree I will influence his work ethic and fiscal responsibility. While I am not a monetarily wealth person, I am rich in many other, more […]
The National Fatherhood Initiative has a listing of the top fatherhood facts. As I looked over the list I was immediately struck by how negative the list is. It focuses primarily on the side effects of bad fathers and broken homes rather than the positive influence of involved and caring dads. I’m just rather […]
My brother had said that many of the baby products out there are aimed at parents instead of children. Over at Babylune, they seem to agree that the true necessities for raising kids are on the minimal side of what many stores and manufacturers woud have you believe.
“The truth is that the only new things […]
