All said and agreed, there’s no harm in pampering your kids…but do you think going overboard with spending is appreciable? I don’t think so. With a lifestyle like this, don’t you think that you are projecting a wrong spending model before your child during his growing up years? Think about it and you’ll definitely find some sense here. After all we the ideal aim of a parent ought to be rearing a normal child in normal circumstances and no ways a money-minded maniac who ends up valuing money more than anything else in his life.

Two sisters 12 and 10 had to appear before the a Garfield District Court for a charge that says that they had kidnapped 1 year old Brandon and also demanded ransom worth $200.000 from his mother Sheila Wells.

Now what went so wrong that the girls went to the extent of stealthily entering into Sheila’s home at 5.30 am and came out kidnapping her son. There’s no clue as to what’s the reason behind apart from the fact that once the mother banned the younger girl from entering her home as she didn’t behave properly.

When caught red-handed by Sheila, the elder girl confessed that it was the 10 year old’s idea to plan up the whole thing. After being arrested the two will be taken to the

No doubts what the girls did is definitely worth being pardoned, but still just think what forced the girls to take the step? It was Sheila’s act of admonishing her and closing her doors to her that left an adverse effect on her mind, to avenge which she planned the whole thing.

Halt! If you are feeding your baby with that pureed apple or banana…as this is considered unnatural and unnecessary by Gill Rapley, deputy director of Unicef’s UK Baby Friendly Initiative.

All that he recommended for babies till the age of six months is breast milk or formula milk, followed with solids in later stages. Any other food given to a child during the first six months, except for milk dilutes the nutritional value of the milk and also makes it harmful for the child in some cases.

And even after six months pureed food is a big No-No. As, at this time, the baby is capable of chewing food, hence giving them pureed food can delay chewing habits.

Last but not the least, babies fed on pureed food loose control over the quantity of food they eat , thus exposing them to acute risk of constipation and rendering them a common victim of fussy eating habits.

So, make sure what you are giving to your baby is adding into his health rather than acting against him in long run. Via: BBC
