The connection between a parent and a child is the child’s first impression of the world. It sets the tone for all further communication with others. Strong family ties contribute to the development of child’s independence, curiosity, self-esteem and ability to make decisions.

13 Kids Party Favors Other Than a Lootbag

September 4, 2017 by Brittany Leave a Comment This post may be sponsored or contain affiliate links. Read more about it here.

Every birthday party that I attended as a child I remember receiving a “loot bag” or treat bag. It would be filled with candy and little toys, maybe some stickers or gum, and handed out to every kid as they left the party as a favor, or thank-you, for coming. It always seemed like a perfect ending to perfect day, that was often short-lived as I would lose or break the toys, stick all the stickers, and eat the sweets.…

4 Common Childhood Rashes – What to Expect and How to Manage Them

August 11, 2017 by Crystal Leave a Comment This post may be sponsored or contain affiliate links. Read more about it here.

As a Canadian registered nurse, I see rashes on children all year-around, with a surge in the summer months where Canadians spend more time in nature and are closer to environmental irritants (Carson & Spence, 2010). Generally, most of these rashes are harmless and require no intervention, causing discomfort and redness for only a couple days before fading away (Tinsley, 2016). However, there are still a few rashes that should be taken seriously by parents like yourself, and treated as a sign of a potentially more serious illness. This post will cover four of these rash-generating illnesses: Fifth disease, Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease, Impetigo, and Scabies.

From my nursing experience, these four rash-generating illnesses are common but are also largely unknown to parents. To help you avoid such uncertainty if your child is diagnosed with one of these four illnesses, I want to share with you some key nursing knowledge. Specifically, this nursing knowledge will entail (1) what to expect during the course of the disease, and (2) how to successfully manage the disease from home –  All information that I hope you will find helpful in getting your little one feeling better!…
