Keys to Successful Parenting- Strategies to Improve Kids Sleeping Habits

Last updated on: March 18, 2013 at 5:00 am   By Admin GrowMama

Bedtime problems and night wakings are common in young children and one of the most common complaints made by parents to health care professionals. Studies have suggested that when left untreated, bedtime problems and night wakings in young children do not spontaneously resolve. Why might children wake up during the night? Some parents try everything they can to ensure that their child is sleeping in a comfortable and safe environment. Even then, their child continues to awaken frequently at night... Read more

Clutching the Past

Last updated on: March 14, 2013 at 5:00 am   By Admin GrowMama

I went shopping the other day after a few weeks of living the hermit life of being a milking machine for my newborn.  I had decided it was time to spread my wings (aka: be solo), get some fresh air (aka: shop) and pick up some items that I needed (aka: pants that did not have an elasticized waist).  As I was walking around the store I spotted the cutest red clutch purse by an eco-friendly name brand I love.... Read more

The Wedding Gift

Last updated on: March 7, 2013 at 9:39 am   By Admin GrowMama

I sat at the dinner table with the family, discussing potential gift options for our new nephew. A story hidden deep in my memories resurfaced. It was a lesson for my children about good intentions and sincere actions being more important than the actual monetary value of a gift. I recalled a time, before my children were barely old enough to talk and walk and my dear husband was out of work. It had been months of unemployment. It was... Read more

Grow Baba Spotlight: The Visiting Professor

Last updated on: March 4, 2013 at 6:00 am   By Admin GrowMama

I often feel guilty when it comes to my kids. I know I don’t spend enough time with them.  And when I am with them, I still feel that guilt because despite my initial spike of excitement at seeing them, I realize I don’t actually want to spend time with them. I prefer to sit on the couch and surf the web. I mean there is a lot of really important research that needs to be done. Should I get... Read more

Flawless Imperfection

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 6:00 am   By Admin GrowMama

It was a dark night, with the moon nowhere to be seen. We were driving home after having a great time at a family gathering. The best part was witnessing my three-year-old, Maryam, genuinely enjoy herself. My heart would just burst with joy every time she lit up, getting a thrill from seeing the pizza, the princess cake, the bounce house, and of course, all her friends and family. This invariably led to her falling asleep in the car on... Read more

An Apology Remiss

20 caskets, small and shaped like angels, sublime Souls taken so early, you were still much less worldly THAN you were divine And with you, royal innocence crowned, Are buried all of our excuses, six feet beneath the ground Entombed are our alibies that we were too busy and that we couldn’t make a change That we had bigger problems, and that you’re killer was just deranged We excuse ourselves into thinking we had no part And we forgive ourselves... Read more
