Bible studies and daily devotions are a great way for Christian kids and adults to start their day! Devotionals are short readings that highlight certain character traits, Biblical principles, or Bible stories, and can help children develop the habit of seeking God's will in their everyday lives. Many devotionals and Bible story books include a main verse or scripture passage and help to answer questions a child might have.
Here is a creative idea for increasing your teen’s money management skills:
After many years of an inconsistent allowance system which produced uneven results in chore completion and school performance, a parent we know began a revolutionary funding program for her teen daughter. When Charlotte turned 13, she began receiving a quarterly allowance, instead of the standard $10 or $20 weekly allotment for completing required household tasks.
If you have a baby who is born too early or has serious health problems, he or she may be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), a hospital unit that provides around-the-clock specialized care to newborns.
If you or someone close to you is pregnant, understanding what to expect if a NICU stay is required can help you focus on taking care of the new baby and yourself.
Learn the ins and outs of the NICU with information from March of Dimes, the nation’s leading nonprofit that advocates for the health of all moms and babies, which partners with hospitals across the country through its NICU Family Support® program to provide in-person and online support for families with babies in the NICU.
Big backyard? Extra money? Bored or inactive kids? That’s the perfect recipe for buying a new trampoline! While there’s no doubt trampolines are fun for children and adults, did you know that the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend the use of home trampolines?
There were approximately 300,000 medically treated trampoline injuries in 2018, and that number is on the rise due to the trampoline's heightened popularity in recent years. If you are considering buying one, or if you've already made the purchase, read this injury and safety information before your family's next "backyard" evening.
