  Guest post contributed by Claire York for The Invisible Orthodontist. When my son was a toddler he used to yearn to brush his teeth alone. However, I was just not comfortable with this. Now I am proud to walk by in the mornings and see him standing on his step stool brushing his teeth at the sink. Learning to trust him was tough, but now I am glad to see him taking his first steps toward independence. It’s not as though my fears were completely unfounded – I had read about the dangers of fluoride poisoning if children swallow large amounts of toothpaste, and my son had already proved himself to be very fond of anything with a sweet flavor. I simply didn’t trust him to be left alone with a tube full of toothpaste. I also worried that my son wouldn’t brush properly if I didn’t help him. I worried that he would either hurt his gums by brushing too hard or leave plaque on his teeth by not brushing thoroughly enough. Even though I knew his baby teeth would be replaced as … [Read more...]

Summer is here, and that means lots of time in the swimming pool for kids and their parents. Swimming is one of those low-cost summer activities that define summer vacation. Before jumping in, though, make swimming pool safety a priority. Hundreds of people die in pool-related accidents each year. Many of those who drown are children. Consider these sobering statistics from the CDC: From 2005-2009, there were an average of 3,533 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about ten deaths per day On average, two of the 10 people who die from unintentional drowning each day are children aged 14 or younger. More than 30% of children ages 1-4 who died from an unintentional injury died as a result of drowning. Most drownings of children aged 1-4 years old occur in home swimming pools. While there is no substitute for adult supervision and responsible play, there are steps pool owners can take to make their swimming pools safer for … [Read more...]

The Many Benefits Of Studying In The Open   When you think of children spending time outdoors, you tend to picture them kicking a ball around with their friends or playing innocently in a tree house. The idea of them studying outside may be an alien concept to many people, but stick with me here… In 2005, American journalist and author Richard Louv wrote about a condition he referred to as “nature deficit disorder”. Now before you start worrying that you have no idea what this is – don’t panic as you’re not alone. However, if your children are spending too much time indoors then they might begin to suffer from feelings of alienation and apathy – two key symptoms of nature deficit disorder. Potential backlashes of the condition include a lack of progress on the academic side of things, and a number of behavioural problems too. Since Louv’s coining of the term many other authoritative bodies, including the National Trust, have conducted studies which have all produced the … [Read more...]

Save Money When You Move There are a number of different reasons for moving to a new home, from college graduates leaving home for their first apartment to newlyweds needing a new place for a growing family. Despite what you may have heard, moving doesn’t have to be stressful or overly expensive. As odds are high you’ll relocate at some point in your life, here are some suggestions to ease your load. Take stock of your belongings Before you begin to search for movers, you'll want to take stock of all the items going to the new place.

Three Steps to Organizing Your Desk   An organized desk makes your working life much easier. You will be able to put your hands on exactly what you need, when you need it instead of spending hours searching under paperwork and behind mugs. It does not take hours to organize your desk and you can do it gradually over time if you need to. Remove Everything From Your Desk Take away everything that you can from your desk.
