The holidays are gone, and a new year has begun. How many of us feel like taking a nap? If you are a parent with a child between the ages of 0-3 years, odds are that you have already strategically planned out the time and place in which to close your eyes for even three [...]
As an adult around the Holidays, it was always so easy to experience a flood of emotions and memories. We wished those childhood moments were all filmed so that we could look back at them, just like Clark Griswold did while stuck in the attic. We would laugh and cry and feel warm all over [...]
Now that you’ve gotten your baby on the move, it’s time for a cool down. A lot of the time that will mean a nap, but many parents will share with you that it could also be time for you baby to get special treatment… a massage. Many parents are turning to this ancient form [...]
It’s easy for us parents to forget what exactly is our job. Is it to raise a Nobel Prize winner or the doctor that cures a cancer? Is our parental role to maintain a high moral standard in our children so pure that Confucius would stand, staring wide-eyed in awe of our child? Who is [...]

It’s funny how a person remembers that when she was six, she ran down the street, tripped on a pebble and ended up in the hospital getting stitches, but she doesn’t remember the pain. However, as parents, when we start talking about what it was like raising our two-year old, we find ourselves talking faster, [...]
At some point, parents of more than one child begin to question some things… They ask each other, “Why are there far less pictures of our youngest child?” and “Did we let the oldest eat that at this age?” They begin to wonder if birth order really determines the type of person we become. In [...]
Music is all around us, and therefore all around your child, even in the womb.

Your unborn baby depends on that constant beat, even after [...]
