Pumping Breast Milk For Premature Babies
The Goals of Pumping Pumping breast milk for a preemie accomplishes two things: First, premature babies often have difficulty breastfeeding at first and with expressed milk, they can still receive the benefits of breast milk without having to nurse.

Quiet Time Activities For Toddlers
We have good news though—although your little one may no longer need that mid-afternoon shut-eye, they do still need and benefit from a daily rest time.

Most kids will stop napping somewhere between 2 and a half and 5 years old. “Less than a tenth of kids are still napping at age 5, though many 4 year olds still nap,” says Leah Alexander, MD FAAP, a board-certified pediatrician in New Jersey and the senior editor of Amy Baby Review....

Reasonable Requests
The issue: Parents’ requests of the school need to be reasonable. Under usual circumstances, parents of children with disabilities should need only to request rather than demand services, and they need to be reasonably patient before moving to “demand mode.” The special education laws were developed to provide children with a reasonably good education and not a perfect education. So, if you start to demand services or accommodations that are deemed excessive, don’t be surprised when the school digs in its heels....
Recess Quality Impacts Student Social Emotional And Behavioral Health
This study is just another of many factors contributing to the ever-widening gap in education between children in high and low socioeconomic situations. The Study Researchers analyzed 26 different schools in 4 regions of the United States, tracking 3rd- and 5th-grade students in all socioeconomic environments. The teachers filled out behavioral assessments for students in their classrooms, and researchers used live observations as well during recess. Researchers were analyzing the type and quality of equipment, cleanliness of the play space, a diversity of activities available, and even how involved the adults were with children, which helped minimize conflict between students as well....
Resolving Problems With The Caregiver

This would avoid having to go through the process of finding childcare all over again....

Screaming For A Diaper While Potty Training
It seems so simple. Once your child can sense they need to go to the bathroom, then they can and will start using the toilet rather than diapers. Right?

Similar to the wealth of advice and strategies on handling the familiar challenges of how to get them to go to (and stay in) bed (tear-free) and eat their peas (without spitting them out), there are enough theories on the best potty training methods to make your head spin....
