As parents or guardians of new-borns to 14-year-olds, it is our partial responsibility to ensure their safety and well-being. One aspect that often goes unnoticed is the clothes we choose to buy for them. While outside or local clothing options may seem convenient, they can pose certain dangers which are hardly taken seriously.
Bedsharing has got to be one of the most debated topics in modern parenthood. While safety experts continuously warn against it, more and more child development research suggest that the practice is beneficial for children, both biologically and psychologically.
Plenty of new and old parenting guides will tell you that you can spoil babies by holding them too much. Or rocking them to sleep. Or co-sleeping. Or cuddling and kissing. Fortunately for babies and for parents who are constantly pressured to fight against their natural instinct and hold off on responding to their children’s cries, science says you CANNOT spoil babies.
Despite the growing need, the number of quality daycare centres is still relatively low in the country.
As a parent, babyproofing your home becomes a top priority when your child becomes a toddler. Here are some ways to babyproof your home if you have a toddler.
In a world that takes pride in toughness and machoism, sensitivity is often mistaken for passiveness or weakness. In reality, however, this is a rare strength that runs the world, and given a nurturing environment, children with highly sensitive minds often enjoy certain advantages.
Marital conflict can result in constant fighting and can breed a hostile atmosphere.
A major scientific breakthrough has ensured that boys born with a particular gene can be identified as having the potential to grow into violent men.
If you’ve led a similarly sheltered life, odds are, there’s probably one or two pretty basic life skills that you may be lacking.

It seems as if saying please and thank you does not even scratch the surface of “old-school” manners children should know and use that would set them ahead of their peers. Parents must constantly practice manners at home, and set a good example for them, as children are great at mimicking actions. However, it is also prudent that parents have age-appropriate expectations of their children because kids are only capable of learning and doing certain things at each stage of life, even if they do amaze you sometimes. Positive reinforcement often works better on little people than threats and rewards do.
