THE YEAR 2007 marks the 65th anniversary of a bold experiment: the launch of the Little Golden Books during the dark days of World War II. At a time when the literacy rate was not nearly as high as it is now - and privation was felt by nearly all - quality books for children would now be available at a price nearly everyone could afford (25 cents), and sold where ordinary people shopped. Golden Legacy is a lively history of a company, a line of books, the groundbreaking writers and artists who created them, the clever mavericks who marketed and sold them, and the cultural landscape that surrounded them.

Wow that's really scaring me.What is Childhood Obesity?From Wikipedia, Childhood obesity is:a medical condition that affects children.

In view of the proliferation of bad toys in the market that could either expose children to chemical and physical hazards, parents and other toy givers have to contend with various issues involving the safety of toys. Consumers also need to be extra vigilant against toys that do not carry the required quality and safety labels. Buyers need to pay close attention to correct and adequate product information and to be protected against toys that are hazardous to health or life. Consumers are further advised to take precaution against toys made with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) like rattles, squeeze toys, teethers and other items that children tend to put into their mouths, PVC contains phthalates , a class of dangerous chemical additives known for their carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic effects. The European Parliament in 2005 banned six type of phthalates in the manufacture of toys because of their adverse impacts on children’s health. It will be recalled that millions of toys we

If your children have trouble sleeping, restless nights, wake up feeling tired, complain of aches and pains, foggy thinking, generally feel unwell or constantly ill then the solution to any of these ailments could quite well be found lurking somewhere in your son or daughters bedroom.

By her own admission, the luncheons cooked by Phool Jumari Rawat may not always be the tastiest food prepared for school children, but that is not the reason students are refusing to eat the food cooked by this woman. In India, children of the Bibpur Primary and Junior High school near Lucknow have launched a boycott against the school cook because of her food, it is due to the fact Msr. Rawar is a Dalit, a so-called untouchable. As a result, the children claim any food made by her is unclean. Ironically, this year in the state of Uttar Pradesh, a Dalit, Mayawati Kuman, was elected chief minister of the state. The children remain adamant in their refusal to accept any food from an untouchable. A district magistrate, Chandra Bhanu, said the emphasis will now be upon the poor quality of food prepared by Mrs. Rawat as the basis of terminating her employment. One pupil, Shivani Singh Chauhan, commented: “I will not eat anything cooked by that lady. I have heard my family members say

Children serve as binder in a family. Their pure, innocent and angelic traits tend to bring love and sympathy which is a bonding factor in every family. Those with handicapped, who are suffering from mental retardation, autism and other behavioral disorder or learning disabilities need serious attention and care. These children may draw genuine sympathy and love from the people caring for them, they may also attract feelings of self pity and crippling hopelessness to those who feel sorry for having them. Whatever treatment you may give, these children need loving tender care and attention by their parents and care givers as well. Mental retardation occurs when something injures the brain or if something prevents the brain from developing or functioning normally. It can happen while the baby is in the womb or it may happen after his birth. The baby could become mentally retarded if his mother contracted certain infections during her pregnancy such as rubella and toxoplasma, among othe

Next month it will become illegal to smoke tobacco inside a car with people below the age of 18 inside. Anyone found guilty of this offense will pay a fine of $384.50. The original version of this law was passed in the town of Wolfville, but now will be in effect across the Province.The Smokers Rights group MyChoice claims this is the first step in a road which will lead to an outright ban of tobacco products. The next step would be a ban in households with minors and then the removal of the product from store shelves.An outright ban is not likely in the near future, but it is a goal worth reaching for. Tobacco products put a huge restraint on our health care spending and cost the general public a lot of money on a regular basis. The ban in automobiles with minors inside is one of the first positive moves the province has made in the fight against smokers.Previous plans were to simply up the costs per package in an attempt to convince smokers to butt out. The only thing this accomplish

Once again Bush vetoed a bill expanding a popular children's health care program for the second time. "Because the Congress has chosen to send me an essentially identical bill that has the same problems as the flawed bill I previously vetoed, I must veto this legislation too," Bush wrote in a message to the House of Representatives. In vetoing the legislation, Bush said "this bill does not put poor children first and it moves our country's health care system in the wrong direction." So Bush thinks that increasing the SCHIP funding to $60 billion over five years from its present $25 billion isn’t helping cover more poor children? It’s high time for Mr. Bush to get a grip on priorities! There are other things that desperately need funding in this country other than a senseless, illegal war. Children’s health care is important, regardless of whether they are poor or not. Children’s health should be first and foremost a high priority in any Administration. Obv

Bush once again demonstrates that he really does hate children. WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush has vetoed another bipartisan bill to dramatically expand government-provided health insurance for children.

By Carole Fogarty - The Healthy Living Lounge A weekly feature: If you had to choose just one gift, one piece of wisdom to leave with your children what would it be? Over the years I have reflected on this question many, many times. Asking what is the one observation in life that I know for sure will offer a helpful guiding path through any confusing, unsure or turbulent times to my children and carry them through to adulthood. It needs to be something simple and something my intuition screams yes that’s it. It was only after a brief encounter lying in a hospital bed for around 5 hours ( I think it was the fear and illness around me that triggered the answer) that I wrote pages and pages of clear concise notes on the necessity to teach my children the lost art of stillness. My gift to my children will be to teach them how to rest in stillness. If my children are able to tap into their own well of stillness then all solutions, comfort, reassurance and guidance will be offered. U

Outstanding. Incredible. Spectacular!I'm talking about the lists of free educational software to be found at Owl & Mouse. We have downloaded all their programs and my kids have benefitted from it in innumerable ways.We really enjoy their geography programs. I have the children go over them from time to time, even when we are not doing geography lessons. The programs are so simple, yet so customizable. You can have the child practice his skills locating continents, countries, states, capitals, landmarks, physical features, and more. The game is played like a jigsaw puzzle, and the child drags and drops the puzzle piece on the map where it belongs. There are different settings where you can make the game harder (for example, by eliminating borders) which makes it great for older kids. I can't rave enough about the geography programs.Owl & Mouse also have other programs for little learners, and some are online games. There are letter-learning games, reading games, build a mediev

The more time a three-year old child spends in front of the TV, the more calories he consumes, according to Harvard researchers. Increased TV watching is associated with larger intake of junk-food and decreased intake of healthy foods, such as vegetables, fruits, dietary fibers, or calcium. Every hour spent in front of the TV makes children [...]

Today’s comic was inspired by The 9 Most Badass Bible Verses on Cracked.com. Check it out, it's hilarious!Anyway, Badass verse #8 refers to 2 Kings chapter 2, verses 23-24; the story of Elisha and the bears. 2 Kings 2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 2 Kings 2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. I wonder why they don’t teach this story in Sunday school…

Until now, the cast and crew of the Dallas-filmed Fox show Prison Break have escaped the Writers Guild of America strike because there were already several scripts in the hopper when the writers hit the picket line.But the last pages of the last script are being filmed now. At the end of this week, Prison Break production will shut down, the stars will go home and the crew will look for other work.That's makes their recent generosity to Children's Medical Center all the more touching.Renee Brown, wife of Prison Break producer Garry Brown , is a cancer survivor. For the second year, she organized a toy drive for kids being treated for cancer at Children's Medical Center.That explains how T-Bag, one of the baddest villains on broadcast television, ended up handing out gifts on Monday at Children's Medical.Actor Robert Knepper plays Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell on Prison Break. On Monday, he joined Prison Break intern Melissa Brown, daughter of Renee and Garry, for a trip to the hospital,

Has your child asked you about the Moon? Has he/she asked questions such as “what is the Moon?”, “what does the Moon do?”, etc. I have three children, one 13 years old son, one four years old son and one two years old daughter. The oldest reads by himself but my four years old son keeps on asking me difficult questions from “what is electricity?” to “what is a black hole?”. Last time he asked me exactly those questions mentioned in the beginning of this article. I decided to write an article on “how to teach your child about the Moon”. Little kids are fascinated with stars and the Moon. They do not understand much about them, but they get interested in them because they can see the stars and the Moon, and they can sense something mystical related to them. How could you best teach your child about the Moon in a way that he/she can understand the basics and will become afraid of it. There is always a risk that some mystical obje
