Active Kids
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
Blerg. I hate being sick. We're working through a bout with a sore throat, fever and body aches. One of the kids is just about done with it, while I got slammed with all that yesterday.
Obviously I didn't get much done. But so far this morning I'm not feeling too bad. I'm hopeful that I will keep feeling better today. I really hate taking sick days from my websites.
Feature Article
Toys Guaranteed To Get Your Children Active
It seems that daily on the news, we're told how our children are inactive and that it's leading to them being overweight and unhealthy. There is article after article advising how much heavier our kids are now versus 20 or 30 years ago. Childhood diabetes is on the rise and our children are at future risk of developing heart disease and other illnesses as a result of being overweight as a child.
Come on over to http://www.homewiththekids.com/newsletter/2007/092507.php to read the rest. Until next week!

When Kids Lie
The Editor's Desk - From Beneath the Clutter
Life steadily gets back to normal around here. I'm dealing with my daughter's first school fundraiser. We're taking it pretty easy, since we got the paperwork the day before we left for my grandmother's funeral, so it's really not something we've been focused on. Ariel is barely aware of what a fundraiser is at this point.
Feature Article
Why Kids Tell Lies and What To Do About It
Catching your child in a lie is maddening, painful and upsetting. What else does he lie about? How can I trust him? Behavioral therapist James Lehman explains why kids tell lies and suggests a better way for parents to deal with it.
