Developing an Albert Einstein
It came as a shock to me to find out that, when I reached my early twenties, the brain cells that I had refused to use in mathematics and similar figures-laden science subjects, shriveled up and died. No more growth for me in that direction, as opposed to baby, who has a lot of growing…
Guarding your kids against heart diseases

Child trafficking-keeping your child safe
An eerie pink crayon sketch of Winnie dangles among her teddy bears in her crib.

Essentials of baby skin care
The importance of Baby skin care Nothing feels quite as soft and supple as a baby’s delicate skin. Gorgeous to touch, it’s a constant source of delight and wonder to you.

Nurture your baby’s teeth
Your baby’s first tooth will emerge when he is about six months old. Even before it appears, proper care and hygiene of his mouth and gum is important. To clean the gums after feeding sessions, wrap a clean washcloth around your finger and dip it in warm water. Then massage the gum gently to rub…
Where is the money for child support?
There was this good friend (we’ll call her Angela) whose child’s father was overly reluctant to provide for maintenance-for the child that he sired. We were up in arms to tell her that she should approach the authorities and see to it that he meets his lawful responsibility-particularly considering he was living a lavish lifestyle as he…
Understanding child’s behaviour- through birth order
Many mothers say that despite having many children, each pregnancy is unique. And upon delivery, the babies take on their own personality.
