Parenting Style Creates Moral Autonomy

June 8, 2015 By Parenting Now!

By Aoife Magee, PhD, and Jean Bishop, MA Over time, parenting and teaching styles influence a child’s development, including their self-esteem, self-control and self-reliance. Therefore, we need to consciously guide children in ways that will strengthen their social and emotional skills. A parenting and teaching style is defined as the means by which an adult […]

Postpartum Depression and Parenthood

May 29, 2015 By Erin Bowling

I’m happy not to be a cavewoman, for a variety of reasons. But right now, I’m particularly happy not to be a cavewoman or any woman without access to a sympathetic medical community, because postpartum depression has been kicking my butt. I’ve heard the arguments that PPD, or perinatal mood disorder, is just a modern-day […]

Peer Court Helps Teens

May 11, 2015 By Tim McCabe

Innocent until proven guilty by a jury of one’s peers. This is the basis of our criminal justice system, an appropriate and just forum when guilt is questioned. Often missing from this equation, however, is true accountability, especially in the juvenile court system. We are taught not to admit guilt in this system, which results […]

Child Abuse Can Be Prevented

April 13, 2015 By Lynne Swartz, MPH, Minalee Saks and Kelly Sutherland

Every day at Parenting Now! and Relief Nursery, we are rewarded by the success of a parent who nurtures and protects their child instead harming or putting them at risk, overcomes an obstacle, or makes a better decision when feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. But there is still much work to be done. April is Child […]

Introduce Babies to Nature

March 9, 2015 By Anna Bradley

When we learned that we were going to be having a child, we knew immediately that it would be important to for us to expose him to nature and the outdoors as much as possible. But we also knew that might be a challenge. It could be difficult to deal with adverse weather, diaper changes […]

Announcing a Pregnancy

February 15, 2015 By Erin Bowling

Before I was pregnant, I thought of myself as something of a “tough girl.” I sat through many piercing and tattoo appointments without a complaint, I would routinely go out for my daily run in pouring rain, and I didn’t even cry when (spoiler alert) Bambi’s mom died. But those first few months of pregnancy […]

Pregnancy and Physical Changes

February 9, 2015 By Erin Bowling

I have a confession. I have had the easiest pregnancy ever. I haven’t vomited, I don’t have gestational diabetes or hyperemesis gravidarum, and my feet aren’t swollen. The worst I can say is I’ve had some mild heartburn and a little hip pain in the third trimester. Lucky me, right? Because I’ve been so lucky […]
