If you remember a few weeks ago, I started a post on the Theorists of Child Development and by the end of a pretty long post, I had only covered Freud and some of his theories. I did hint that I was going to move on to Erik Erikson in a few weeks and [...]

Failed Experiment: The Praying Mantis

Published by sirenavs under Between Parents, Science

Backyard Wonders

Published by sirenavs under Between Parents, Science

I have found over the years that I have become a person that will leaf through travel brochures and gaze longingly at planes as they pass by overhead. I think to myself, “What wonders will I see if I travelled to faraway destinations? What would I experience?”
I think everyone has those thoughts, well, [...]

Protecting your Children from Predators

When I was a kid, I really felt that the sole reason why my parents had children was for the cheap labor.  I mean, by the time I was 4, I already had several chores that were assigned to me; namely the bathroom.  I still remember my parents watching me while I was scrubbing the toilet and [...]

Cheat Sheets: Toads

Published by sirenavs under Cheat Sheets

Well, it’s time for another cheat sheet for parents to add to their little resource library of things their children are going to encounter. I felt that toads are a great example because most children experience a frog or a toad and sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between them. [...]

Bottle Battles

Breastfeeding really is best for a child but not everyone is able to breastfeed for various reasons. For my own children, I was able to breastfeed for roughly one month but neither of them were breastfeeding well.
My oldest was not latching and I was losing milk production very quickly. My youngest latched perfectly [...]
