"Your Presence is the Present"
When we take a break from the bustle, slow down and give that precious gift of mindful attention to our children, we let them know how much they are loved.
As much as we may love this time of year, it’s also a time when we can feel extra stress. As we hurry to cross things off our to-do list, it’s easy to miss the most important “to-do” of all: spending time with our little ones.

"Kids are sleep deprived and it's affecting their development"
Bedtime challenges, busy schedules and screens are depriving kids of sleep, leading to major setbacks in development and behaviour.
When he didn’t get enough sleep, five-year-old Jack* wasn’t himself in the morning. He was a cat. He would crawl around on the floor and answer his parents with meows. “That’s how we knew he was really tired,” says his mom, Rachel Torres.*

"Simplified: Exactly What is the Problem With Children Using Cell Phones?"
The question of children using cell phones and other mobile devices rub all parents differently. Our answers and choices stem from ignorance, indifference,and the probable fear of the unknown world of technology!
Ultimately, we either listen to the inner voice and supervise how the little fellows interact with mobile phones, or remain complacent and shove all kinds of devices in their faces.

"Empathy and the brain"
Human empathy depends on the ability to share the emotions of others, to feel what other people feel.
It is regarded by many people as the foundation of moral behavior.
But to some, the concept seems rather airy-fairy. What does it mean to say “I feel your pain”? Isn’t that just a fanciful flight of the imagination?
No.

"Mindfulness Is a Parent Superpower"
Many of us believe that being a parent means having every answer and being able to meet every need. The baby is hungry, the toddler scraped his knee, the phone is ringing, and our partner can’t find a clean shirt. We feel pressured to do four things at once, all with a kind and calm attitude.

Scare up some fun with these Halloween decorating tips
Every Halloween, Lisa Thornbury and her family transform their home into a haunted house worthy of the title ‘Scariest Digs in the ’Hood’. “My kids don’t actually care if decorations come from Martha Stewart or the Dollar Store,” says Thornbury, the Toronto-based mother of two and blogger for the Yummy Mummy Club.

"The Benefits of Natural Light and Darkness for Your Child Today!"
Before humanity invented the light bulb, our ancestors maximized the benefits of daytime natural light to work and used the darkness at night to REALLY sleep.
The observation of the 24-hour solar day facilitated the natural synchronization of all biological life. This ensured that humanity was healthy, productive, and alert.

"Facial expressions for kids: Helping children read emotions"
When you try to read the emotions of other people, you don’t focus exclusively on their facial expressions. You rely on a variety of information, including tone of voice (Paulmann and Uskul 2014), body language (Aviezer et al 2012), and contextual cues (Aguert et al 2013).
But facial expressions are nevertheless crucially important. And your ability to decode them? They are linked with social, academic, and emotional outcomes.

"Preschool number activities: How do you introduce numbers to preschoolers?"
Preschool number activities often involve counting, but merely reciting the number words isn’t enough.
Children also need to develop “number sense,” an intuitive feeling for the actual amount associated with a given number.
Where does number sense come from?

"What to do when your kid doesn't like grade one"
The transition from kindergarten to grade one can be a lot for kids. If your kid is refusing to go to school or won't get out of bed in the morning, here's what to do.
Last year, five-year-old Simone Wagner had a hard time settling into grade one. “There were lots of stomach aches and crying,” recalls her Toronto mom, Sandy Pereira. “There were nights when she just wouldn’t settle down and sleep. In the morning, we’d have to drag her out of bed. We were late the first four months of school.”
