Nowadays, parents must be computer-savvy to find out what’s really going on in their child’s world.
The holidays are an exciting time of year. However, decorating, traveling and even cooking can pose some safety risks. Taking simple preventative measures will help you and Santa Claus stay safe during this joyous season.
Summer is revving its engine, and it's a great time of year for teenagers.
For parents, though, this is a time of high anxiety. The onset of summer is the deadliest time of the year for teen drivers. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that the 101 days from Memorial Day to Labor Day produce a spike in traffic accidents, injuries and deaths among young people.
Summer is here, and many working parents are trying to figure out what to do with kids while school is out, but their jobs are not. Some parents opt for summer camps; while others arrange for university students to act as childcare providers to fill in until September. Yet, for others, the seemingly perfect solution is to have an older sibling take care of younger sibling(s). This may seem to be an ideal situation as there are no transportation concerns; you don’t have to bring a stranger into your home; the sitter will never be late; and parents may feel they can save a bit on financial compensation.
