Someday

One of my dreams is to turn my efforts into a non-profit foundation. I've been wanting to do this for years and there's a few reasons why. I would like to be able to do more than provide support and comfort online. I want to be able to help Autism and Special Needs families in the many areas they may need it. I want to be able to provide grants to families in need because I know how financially difficult life can be. It's important to me that I be able to help as many people, in as many ways as possible. I would like to be able to employ by kids, if they're interested as well as persons with Special Needs. I think that's so important. This is something…

Making some progress in regards to Christmas

Okay, so I'm slowly making some progress with my kids as far as Christmas shopping for them is concerned. By progress I mean the ideas are starting to trickle in. That being said, not all the ideas are realistic. One of the things that my middle minion is very interested in is archery. He's been wanting a real bow and arrow or crossbow. I'm not a fan of weapons in general, especially having them in the house but I'm not opposed to something like this under the right circumstances. Maybe one of the things I can look at are archery lessons. He's fascinated by it and maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm not saying that this is something I'm going to jump on but I've at least been…

How Mente Helps Relax the Minds of Kids with #Autism

Children with autism spectrum disorder are no strangers to stress, and finding ways to help them relax can be challenging. That’s where Mente can help because it uses neurofeedback technology to promote relaxation, which makes it easier to engage with one’s environment in a positive way. More than that, the device is affordable, easy to use, and provides at-home therapy that can improve communication, lengthen attention spans, and reduce agitation.  Why Mente Is Effective?  People with autism spectrum disorder often exhibit high levels of delta and theta brainwaves (slow waves), as well as an excess of high beta (fast waves). This pattern is mostly associated with inattention, anxiety, impulsivity and impaired social skills. Delta and theta are usually related to daydreaming, dozing, and deep sleeping and therefore the excessive amount of these brainwaves can lead to fogginess and…

Sleepless children is a major issue in many households

Not only does a sleepless child struggle with behavior, mood, and focus the next day, they often end up keeping the rest of the family up during the night as well. Most children, when it comes to struggling to sleep take a long time to relax and fall asleep, wake up often during the night, and don’t get enough hours of total sleep.  If your child is not getting the recommended amount of sleep, the effects can compound and sleep deprivation can result. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that preschool children receive 11-13 hours of sleep each night, school-age children, 10 -11 hours, and teenagers, 8 - 10 hours. Because the recommended sleep time decreases with age, the recommendation for adults is 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Side effects…

Ultimate Guide To Changing Your Child’s Surname

When a child is born to married parents, things are somewhat simple. Either one or both of them usually register the child’s name on the birth certificate. The surname is the name by which the actual family unit is recognized, and it is common for children to take their father’s surname. That is, except the mother suggests a different surname, and the father agrees to this. However, with unmarried fathers, things are a bit different. They don’t have to register the birth of their children and don’t have an independent right to have their names on the child’s birth certificate. If an unmarried mother wishes to enter the father’s name, that’s only possible if they both agree, and sign the register, each gives a sworn statement, or they have an…

How To Choose The Best Mattress For Your Child

Kids can be very particular about what they like and dislike -- and that’s putting it lightly. You can probably think back and recall the countless t-shirts or shoes you’ve purchased for your son or daughter who ended up hating the clothes you picked out. Mattresses, however, certainly aren’t as cheap and disposable as clothes. Accordingly, if you’re looking to buy a bed for your child, it’s crucial to take budget, your child’s sleeper type, their body type, and your kid’s specific sleep preferences into consideration. This ensures your little guy or gal finds his or her new mattress nice and cozy, but more importantly, gets a full night’s sleep on it.  According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleep is essential to a child’s physical and emotional development. Not only…
