Taking care of sick children can be a rather challenging aspect of being a parent. Waking up in the middle of the night to the sounds of your child's cough, feeling your child's feverish body against yours, and cleaning up vomit is something you may be familiar with. We all knew there would be times like this in our parenting experience. It's inevitable that kids get sick. It's a necessary part of growing up, a normal part of childhood. Click here to read about the real cause of most childhood diseases and what you can do to strengthen your children's overall health and capacity for healing by boosting their immune systems.

My daughter and I have been fully enjoying the Music for Babies CDs. This series of four CDs helps children achieve their extraordinary and unique potential. With this music playing in the background, babies can feel even more emotionally secure and safe, held close to your body while you gently dance around a room or rock slowly in a rocking chair. Incorporating the Sleepy Baby CD into a bedtime ritual can help children to calm down and make the difficult transition into sleep. My 8-year-old daughter loves to fall to sleep to Sleepy Baby and also plays Peaceful Baby, Cheerful Baby, and Playful Baby while playing quietly, reading, or doing art projects. Music for Babies is also a perfect remedy for stressed and tired mothers. Simply having this music playing in the background throughout the day can profoundly change the way you feel. I can certainly vouch for that! This set of four CDs makes a really great holiday gift. Click Here

Let's face it. We have to get more creative with our children's school lunches. The junk foods in the fancy, colorful wrappers that come to school in a lot of kids' lunchboxes are way too tempting for our kids to resist. Click here for some ideas for healthy school lunches that kids will eat. Included are some recipes. In addition to the recipes provided in the article Ideas for Healthy School Lunches, here are a few others: Twice Baked Potatoes with Broccoli (This is a great way to get kids to eat broccoli - I've never met a kid who did not like twice baked potatoes) 6 medium baking potatoes In a 400 degree oven, bake potatoes for about 50-60 minutes or
until soft. Cut a thin slice lengthwise off top of potatoes. Scoop
out pulp, leaving the shell intact. Put pulp in bowl and mash. Add
the rest of the ingredients. Refill potato shells and top with more
cheese, if desired. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until
heated through. I found that the following recipe also works well if you mash the squash before mixing in the honey and butter mixture. Kids seem to enjoy mashed vegetables like mashed potatoes. Butternut Squash Cut squash in half, remove seeds and set cut side down in a buttered
glass baking pan with about 1/2 inch of water. Bake at 350 degrees
until tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, melt equal parts of butter
and raw honey together in a pitcher set in hot water. (Don't let
the mixture surpass 118 degrees or the valuable amylase enzymes
in the honey will be destroyed.) To serve, place cut side of squash
up and pour a little honey-butter mixture into each cavity. Blueberry Crisp (this will make a great addition to your child's school lunch) 3 cups fresh blueberries (or other fruit) Place berries in 2-quart square baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon
juice. * About Sucanat: Sucanat is a whole sugar. It contains the elements of both sugar and molasses. Through the typical sugar refining process, these two elements are separated. All of the nutritional benefits of the sugar cane plant remain with the molasses leaving refined sugar with "empty calories." Unlike brown sugar where molasses is simply added back to sugar for color, with Sucanat, the molasses and sugar are kept together from the beginning of the process. This creates a dry sweetener product with the vitamins, minerals and trace elements of the sugar cane plant and a lower sucrose level than refined white and brown sugar. Sucanat can be substituted for refined sugar in baked goods. You can find it at most health food stores.
