Hello jazzman! Welcome to the forum ;)

Hello everyone, Just came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jMhMVEjEQg Parents are teaching their kids the dangers of social media through a very real prank. What do you think about using something like this to make your kids aware of child abduction risks? Please share...

Thanks for all the answers :) I was reading this article http://news.health.com/2014/02/11/energy-drinks-coffee-increasing-sources-of-caffeine-for-kids-cdc-says/[/url] that said that in the states, teens seem to be getting less caffeine from soda, but more from caffeine-heavy energy drinks and...

Welcome! Hope you also enjoy all the posts being published here ;)

Sounds like some activities can really become hard to handle :) How do you tell your kids when it's enough and they should switch to some other activity? Do you make something up or do you express the reality to them?

Interesting! I meant it more for babysitters that you pay for, as workers. But, of course, many times a friend of the family takes care of the kids. Also, when I was small my grandparents took care of me. And I'm wondering, since more people use family to take care of their children on a...

Thank you all! I will probably make bar graphs then. Keep them simple so they are easy to understand.
