Wild Child Rejoice
It's every mother's nightmare and no one's immune. I'm talking head lice and yes, I have been there along with 12 million other families of kids from ages 3 to 11 that are infested each year. Even worse is that most (or all) of the treatments available at your local pharmacy will contain toxic pesticides - including Lindane - which has been outlawed in most other countries, but not the U.S. Let's just say it affects neurotransmitters - need more? So check out Wild Child Online products. They have an all natural, non-toxic head lice kit promising to restore you to pre-lice sanity, including a preventative spray. I recommend you order a box now and have it on hand and hope you don't ever have to use it.

A Game To Love
I play a memory game with my kids all the time and it's always a favorite. How cool is this one featured at Green With Glamour? This one is extra delightful because of the cool designs. 24 pairs of tiles, screen-printed on
archival stock with hand mixed, water-based inks. So chic and earth safe.

When It's Tough To Brush
Sometimes we just dont have the time or opportunity to brush our kids' teeth. Did you know that certain foods will help you do the job. For instance, hard fruits and vegetables physically scrape away plaque and debris. Dairy products such as cheese raise the mouth's PH level, helping to neutralize acid that cause cavities. Vitamin C helps promote healthy gums. Even a piece of chocolate can decrease oral bacteria.
Have a child who just entered middle school? Peer pressure can be the biggest issue your child may face over the next few years. Remind yourself and teach your children the main points of how to avoid, and deal with, peer pressure in this (albeit corny) video.

Genes Give Autism Clues
Harvard researchers have discovered half a
dozen new genes involved in autism that suggest the disorder strikes in
a brain that can't properly form new connections. The
findings also may help explain why intense education programs do help
some autistic children -- because certain genes that respond to
experience weren't missing, they were just stuck in the "off" position. msnbc.

Back To School Shoes
If your needing to gear up this fall for school shoes then don't forget to check out Patagonia. Always quality, cute and environmentally conscious. These Mary Janes have pigskin leather lining and footbed (tanned to
ISO-14001 environmental standards). The
stitched-on hevea-milk latex outsole minimizes use of solvents and
adhesives and adds durability. The collapsible upper is easy to stow in
a backpack or book bag. In other words, perfect.
