Parenting Our Children to Reach Their Full Potential
by Jane Sheppard © 2007
What is the most significant thing we can do to nurture happy, healthy kids? We need to create connection on three levels:
1) Create and nurture a strong bond and connection with our children
2) Nurture a connection with our own intuition and inner wisdom
3) Allow our children to stay connected to their own internal guidance

Over the Shoulder Baby Holder Rated

The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder is the top rated sling by lactation consultants, midwives, childbirth educators and pediatricians. Physical therapists and chiropractors endorse it for its comfort and weight distribution, and for its benefits for your baby's posture.
Nothing compares with the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder sling
for doing an excellent job of holding your baby close to your body in an exact
recreation of the way you naturally hold your baby with your arms, but your arms
are free in a way that will make your sling indispensable. The baby can be carried
in any natural position: nursing hold, cradle hold, football hold, burping hold,
and hip straddle without any re-adjusting. Baby can breastfeed discreetly in the sling. Baby
care authors recommend it for its ease of use; it takes only seconds to put on
and put the baby in. read more...

Over the last 30+ years, crib mattress materials have been replaced with cheap petroleum-based synthetics. Nearly all crib mattresses today contain polyurethane foam, vinyl (PVC), phthalates, chemical fire retardants, and an extensive list of added industrial chemicals. Recent studies have questioned the use of these materials.
There is growing concern among physicians, health professionals, public safety officials, environmental advocacy groups, and consumers regarding the possible effects of these chemicals on our children. Many researchers suspect that toxic chemicals are playing a significant role in the dramatic increase in childhood disorders.
The majority of babies and toddlers spend 10-14 hours a day sleeping and playing on a crib mattress. A child’s every breath inhales air no more than six inches away from these chemicals.
Evidence from a long-term SIDS prevention campaign in New Zealand shows that toxic gases in crib mattresses may be a cause of SIDS. We must do everything we can to protect our babies from these gases and toxins.

Is
Your Teen Suffering From Acne? Clear Acne Naturally at the Source
I recently found the ZenMed system, a product that is designed to treat both adult
and teen acne at its source, using the finest herbal ingredients. I highly recommend
this system since it is formulated with natural ingredients that have been proven
over centuries to heal skin problems such as acne, and promote a healthy, clear
complexion from the inside. This skin care system prevents and treats acne both
internally and topically and provides lasting results. I
know the ZenMed system works to heal acne. I suffered from severe acne as a teen
and used many medications and harsh treatments, including long-term antibiotics,
Accutane, and many toxic topical products. I didn't know any better as a teen
and thought these medications and products would work. They did not and the long-term
antibiotics devastated my immune system. The acne continued into my adult years,
and I am very happy to have found the ZENMED Derma Cleanse System. It cleared
the acne that I had been struggling with for 35 years after using it for only
3 weeks! It really works! I am thrilled to recommend it to parents for helping
their teens clear their skin. Acne can be devastating to a teen's self-image and
must be treated holistically with safe, natural ingredients.
Please
feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or feedback. I always love
to hear from you! Peace
and Blessings, Jane Sheppard
