During these troubling times with both the ongoing pandemic and the recent violence that took place last week, it's good to remember how a simple act of kindness can make a big difference. Check out this link for tips on teaching and modeling kindness for your children!
"Create a culture of kindness in your home. Be sure everyone in the family is treated with respect and fairness and that your home is a place where everyone can share ideas and ask questions freely without criticism. Remind your children that people come from many different backgrounds, beliefs and family styles―even within your own family―and how those qualities make us unique. Encourage them to learn more about different races, religions and countries."

Kindness: How a Simple Act Can Make a Big Difference
www.healthychildren.org
In a world where media bombard us and our children with talk of dislike, impatience and intolerance, teaching kindness to children is an important part of their healthy development. Teaching and mo...With all the upsetting news that happened recently, your kids may feel frightened, confused, and upset. It's not always easy to have these conversations and know what to say or how to answer questions. Here are tips on how to talk to children, including those with autism, about tragedies and disturbing news.
"No matter what age or developmental stage the child is, parents can start by asking a child what they’ve already heard. Most children will have heard something, no matter how old they are. After you ask them what they’ve heard, ask what questions they have.
Older children, teens, and young adults might ask more questions and may request and benefit more from additional information. But no matter what age the child is, it’s best to keep the dialogue straightforward and direct."

"Research on food allergies is always a work in progress, and as new evidence comes to light, medical professionals change their approach to how they educate families and parents. This reason alone is why the food guidelines for your first kid might not be the same for your third or fourth kid.
According to Dr. David Stukus, all babies should be introduced to allergenic foods around four to six months of age, once they’ve already demonstrated the interest and the ability to tolerate other solids."
