Kids who don't get enough sleep show other changes in the levels of hormones circulating in their body, too. Hormones that regulate hunger and appetite can be affected, causing a child to overeat and have a preference for high-calorie carbs. What's more, a shortage of sleep can affect the way the body metabolizes these foods, triggering insulin resistance, which is linked to type 2 diabetes.

Deluxe Teaching Kit from BabySignLanguage.com totally LOVE using this - so simple and my 3 year old loves doing it.
want to really get your preschooler's attention? Try talking to him in a whisper. You'd think speaking louder would be the way to do it, but yelling can frighten a child or, if heard too often, simply be tuned out and ignored. A whisper, on the other hand, is irresistibly intriguing to a little one. Your child can't help but lean in closer to hear the special words Mom is about to deliver. Preschoolers are also attracted to words like secret, special, and magical, all of which suggest that something wonderful or exciting is about to happen.

When the kids do their chores right away, with a good attitude and do them according to “mom’s standards” I reward them with a few points. They save these points and then at least once a week we open the family “store”.

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother... Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children... Some may have to work part-or full-time; some may work at home; some may divide their lives into periods of home and family and work. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else." Elder M. Russell Ballard

COUGHS - Even healthy babies cough every day, and a cough can actually help your baby breathe better by clearing secretions from the airway. Coughs often linger after other symptoms of a virus have passed, but not all of them sound alike. Some examples: • If your baby wheezes or gasps for air, he may have bronchiolitis, which is caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). • If his cough is deep and sounds like a bark, he may have croup. • If your baby seems to have a long-lasting cold and a chronic nighttime cough, he may actually have allergies or sinusitis. • If it's a sudden, persistent cough without other cold symptoms, it could mean your baby has asthma or has inhaled an object. • If a persistent cough is accompanied by difficulty breathing, fever, and chills, he may have pneumonia. • If your baby has 20- to 30-second spells of nonstop coughing, and between spells makes an unusual, bird-like "whooping" sound as he tries to take a deep breath, it's likely whooping cough (also called pertussis). • If your baby coughs constantly with a thick mucus that causes difficulty breathing, have him checked for cystic fibrosis.
