How To Answer Just About Every Sex Question Your Child Could Ever Ask

It’s only a matter of time until your kids start asking about the birds and the bees. It starts out innocently enough. “So-and-so at the bus stop told me how babies are made.” Gulp I’m guessing you know how this goes… Time to start really thinking about sex education, if you haven’t already. Today, kids pick up a lot of their sex education from their peers and on the internet. There’s a huge amount of misinformation and not a lot of safe spaces for them to ask questions, much less have a positive, productive dialogue....

Losing My Child To Childhood Cancer After Surrogate Pregnancy

Losing my son Jackson to cancer at just seven years old has been the most heartwrenching experience of my life.

Miscarriage Loss How I Mourned The Baby I Never Had

When my husband, Peter, and I walked into the ultrasound room, the technician greeted us with a smile and small talk as she covered my belly in lubricating jelly. Weeks prior, while preparing dinner, we had decided on the name Ceol, which means “music” in Irish, for our second child. “You’re 12 weeks pregnant,” the technician asked and I nodded as a knot clenched in my stomach. When I had been around 10 weeks pregnant, I noticed my belly had stopped growing....

My Family Constantly Cuts Me Off Is It Too Late To Break The Pattern

As a mom, I’m constantly…oh, wait…hang on a second…interrupted. When giving out instructions, retelling the greatest story ever, or showering, it’s all cut short. My family has a lot to say and it explodes in my general direction without a thought as to what I’m trying to accomplish. This pattern has been at play for a while now and honestly, it’s my fault. I let it build up like that sticky soap scum on my shower door because I wanted my 8-year-old, husband, and dogs to feel heard in their world — but now I’m feeling unsupported in mine....

Prince William Shares Parenthood Brings Pain Of Princess Diana S Death

To the outside world, Prince William seems to be a happy-go-lucky dad to his and Kate Middleton’s three kids Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2. And, sure, for the most part he likely is.

Students Are Petitioning For School Closures Because Of Coronavirus

If you have a child in school right now, you may have received a number of letters sent home about precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, a.k.a. the coronavirus. Keep your kids home if they’re sick. Sing “Happy Birthday” when washing your hands, and so on. What most of these letters don’t have is any kind of indication that the schools will be closing soon. As of Wednesday, UNESCO reported that 290 million students are out of school as a result of virus containment efforts across the world....

The Best Sympathy Gifts According To A Therapist

There comes a time when the people closest to you will face the loss of a loved one. You want to do anything you can to help them in a time of grief, but sometimes all they really need is a small token knowing you’re there for them until they are ready to talk. Picking out a sympathy gift that’s meaningful and equal parts helpful to them can be tricky to find — for a child, you’ll want to give them something like a stuffed animal, and things like meal kits or some (not all are helpful) books can serve as a guide during this time....
