Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
Children copy what they see you do!
Children do what they see you do and never what you tell them to do. When you tell them something, their small minds begin to wander into an adventure. They ask themselves questions about what you said and even try for themselves to see the outcome of something that they were forbidden to do. When the outcome is severe, they back down but later begin to observe what the elders do about the thing.

Why Do Some Families Repeat Older Generations Mistakes?
Families can be the best thing in your life when you're younger. How you cherish your mom and your dad. You want to spend every day with them. Do adult things if it means being by their side. As we get older we finally come into our own and pull away from being so attached.

Why Are Toys At Preschool Essential For Children?
Children enjoy creating worlds out of their thoughts and imaginations, and doing so is beneficial to their cognitive development. The toys they own are usually the main characters in their imaginary world. Toys are not only intended to keep a child busy and engaged in certain activities, but they also improve their cognitive abilities and allow them to be mentally active. Toys are an excellent source of entertainment for children who are learning. You may have concerns about the value of toys for children. But have you ever noticed the difference between children who are surrounded by toys and those who aren't? There is a distinction between their levels of activity and involvement with the world around them. Kids who enjoy playing with toys stay active, think about new things, and create their own world for the toys. It's not just soft toys; a variety of activity toys can help children improve their cognitive and motor skills. Even preschools having assistive technology for preschoolers use these toys to help children develop their abilities. If you instill these values in your children, they will benefit greatly.

Eight Heads Are Better Than One. Runner-Up in The Aquarium Challenge.
Mia Part 1: LIFE WATERS Our entire family was excited to watch the 100-gallon tank get set up, but no one as much as me after my solitary goldfish, Gilda, who lived alone in a simple water bowl, had also died alone.

Found
Passing through the disorienting tube of blue, she gasped. Not sure if anyone ahead noticed, Ki instinctively turned around as if to imply it was someone else, but no one was there. Turning back, another mother looked at her with a mix of concern and sympathy, but not her own. Never her own.

10 Best Healthy Foods for Kids:
It can be challenging to raise kids who love healthy food. Children have a natural drive to explore the world around them and try new things. But when it comes to what they put in their mouths, most kids are naturally resistant. There’s a lot of pressure on parents these days to make sure their kids eat healthy foods. And that’s for good reason: unhealthy eating habits in childhood lead to obesity, diabetes, and other serious health issues as adults. Fortunately, the answer isn’t as simple as saying no or forcing your child to finish everything on their plate. The best way to encourage healthy eating is by making it fun! Here are some tips and tricks that will help you get your kid excited about eating healthy foods.

Being a mom
Being a mom is both the best thing about me and the hardest thing I’ve ever done. My daughter is 7 weeks old, and I love her more than anything in the world. But the newborn phase is not all sunshine and rainbows. Nobody talks about the tough parts, or the parts that almost break you. No one mentions the many times a day you question your ability to be a mom. Nobody brings up your lonely and isolating it can be once things calm down and people stop checking in and visiting. I wasn’t warned about any of that.

Yep, That's Mine
"Little boy! Little boy!" I don't know whether it was the sudden note of panic in the aquarium attendant's normally bored baritone or the thirty seconds of attention that I'd given to my toddler that cued me in, but I knew immediately that the little boy in question was mine.

Belinda finds a friend
Belinda had wandered too far. The campsite was somewhere behind her and the sunset loomed ahead. She was tired. The toad she was chasing had long disappeared, the noise of her family had faded away. The only human voice she could hear was the echo of her mom reminding her big brother Todd.. "Don't go too far!" Belinda was now learning what mom meant by those words. Her three years old heart was racing. Her toddler mind was frantic. Running, lost, dark, cold, Mommy, where... what?

Strong Foundations for Toddlers
“Dash blash labba dunlap!” The baby monitor has spoken. My toddler is awake. Thus begins the parenting day. There are feeds and a sendoff as Mama goes to work, dance parties in the living room, baby parkour exhibitions on the sectional, frenzied chores with a baby monitor on my hip, pleadings for focus at mealtimes, alternately protecting dogs and toddler from the other’s excessive exuberance, efforts to diaper the twenty pound flopping fish that looks strikingly like my little girl on the change table.
