  • Why Apps for Kids Aren’t All Bad, and How to Make Sure It Stays That Way

    Kids Academy BINGO App

    There’s no denying that using apps can be bad for kids. You can say the same thing about watching TV or playing video games, but just like television and video games, apps don’t have to be bad for kids. Especially since there are many innovative ways apps are changing and will continue to evolve over the upcoming years. Less Stress for Mom and Dad One of the big reasons why apps don’t have to be all bad is the fact that they can allow mom and dad to be better parents. By allowing their children to play on an app for a little bit, they have a chance to relax. Many parents make phone calls, catch up on a little work, or jump in the shower while the kids are on an app. Mom and dad need time too, and allowing the children to play apps for a bit while they get some stuff done makes for a less stressed,…

  • Two-of-A-Kind: Perfect Gifts for Twins!!

    Twin girls

    Any parent of twins (or indeed just two small children of similar ages) will know that once they discover jealousy and begin to snatch at whatever the other has, your days of buying one of anything for the next decade are gone. Children seem to have an instinctive aversion to sharing, and sibling rivalry intensifies this to explosive levels. I have a few ideas for buying gifts for twins, just read on. To ease the stresses of gifting, we’ve put together this list to lend a helping hand to parents or friends and family of identical tykes. Read on if you just want to give gifts that inspire peaceful playtime, so you can enjoy a relaxing birthday/Christmas/occasion, minus tears and tantrums over who should have the coveted blue dress over the ‘horrible’ yellow one… Stuffed Animals An obvious but fail-safe and cute gift. Find out the kids’ favorite animal (bunnies and puppies are always good) or go for a classic…

  • Childbirth Related Medical Negligence Claims – How Do They Work?

    Pregnant woman heart hands

    Childbirth used to be dangerous for both mother and child, carrying historically a 5% to 10% chance of the mother not surviving because of blood loss or indirectly through infection. Modern technology has made childbirth far safer for both mother and child. However, it isn’t always safe. Childbirth-related negligence claims are still tragically common. But what counts as childbirth-related medical negligence? How do childbirth-rated medical negligence claims work? Examples of Childbirth Negligence Childbirth malpractice due to hospital or neonatal caregiver negligence is a broad category. It includes uterine rupture, abnormal bleeding and placental abruption. Vaginal tears and lacerations in excess of what is normal from childbirth may be a basis for a medical negligence claim, and infection due to medical neglect is certainly a medical negligence case. Medical negligence can include a failure to perform a C-section when necessary to save mother, child or both. Mistakes that save mother and child but leave her unable to have more, wanted children…

  • Build-A-Bot Bunny Is HERE!

    I absolutely love toys that encourage creativity and mix in learning as well as direction following. Build-A-Bot does just that. Like most parents and grandparents our favorite toys to buy are the challenging ones. Something super easy and most kids, including Alice lose interest. Build-a-Bot buddies are so cute! Not only cute, but your kids build it!! Build it and watch it come to life! From Bee Bots to Bunny Bots. It’s a home run! The Build-a-Bot box has a note on the bottom that says: 5 to 7 may need help. 8 to 10 can assemble the robot on their own. We found that to be very true. 6-year-old Alice needed some help to get the legs attached. She did great with the other steps. When your robot is complete you can add your own personal touches like different color eye stickers, and other sticker embellishments. Then add 2 AA batteries, flip the switch under the chin of the…
