Protecting Kids From Sexual Abuse

February 10, 2019 by Cori Linder Leave a Comment

Protecting Kids From Sexual Abuse

As mothers, we often teach our young children about Stranger Danger and how to deal with the creepy man down the street. We instruct them on how to react to the man in the car who offers them candy or what to say to the person on the other end of the phone asking if their mommy or daddy is home.

‘Digital Heroin’ and Kids: A Problem With Manageable Solutions

The Problem: Sitting on my friend’s porch this past weekend, I was thrilled my kids (ages 3.5 and 5) were playing outside soaking it up with a group of new kids. Since mine were the youngest of the bunch, I kept a safe distance until I saw a commotion. When I walked over to see…

You Are NOT A Loser

“Mom, can I ask you something?” my son asked me this as he put away his backpack after coming home from school. “Of course”, I answer, slicing apples and spooning out peanut butter for a snack. “What’s up?” “Why does everyone think I am such a loser? How come no one likes me?” I put…

Hand Washing Tips for Kids

March 27, 2018 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Hand Washing Tips for Kids

When your child comes into the kitchen while you are making dinner, literally armed with an assortment of bugs, snails and worms up and down her hands and arms, the last thing she is thinking about is washing her hands. That is where children differ from adults, because that is probably your first thought. Try to remain calm as you instruct her to put the creatures back outside and then to wash her hands.

Detect Sleep Disturbances and What Causes Them in Your Children with Knit

This post was written by Jen Rattie in partnership with Knit Health. All opinions are her own. As far back as I can remember I have had insomnia. I am from a long line of insomniacs. I was hoping when I had children that the issue would skip them, but we weren’t that lucky. It…

A Sneak Peek Into The Mind Of A Four-Year-Old

It would be so much cozier in Mommy and Daddys bed – right smack between them where I can make my body seem almost twice as big, and Mommy and Daddy can pretty much kiss the rest of their sleep goodbye.

How to Win the Take-Your-Medicine Battle!

Weve all been a part of moments like this, some of us more often than others: Your child sits on one side of the table, eyeing you with suspicion. More specifically, eyeing what is in your hands. You are shielding your hands with little success, hoping that the popsicle you just gave your child a few minutes prior was a satisfactory peace offering. Your child backs away as you lean in.
