As the mother of nine-year-old Charlie, the topic of “children” is constantly on my mind. I am more than thrilled to present the July theme for the B5media.com Science and Health channel, children. Here is a round-up of posts on the fourteen blogs:
- Mark at A Dozen Steps writes that “all children deserve a sober parent” on Computer Eyes.
- Hsien at A Hearty Life writes in Congenital Heart Defects in children and an organization called Saving Little Hearts.
- Mary Emma at Alzheimer’s Notes writes about family members with Alzheimer’s and grandchildren in Children Delight Many Alzheimer’s Patients and her post reminded me of the reflections a student once shared with me about how her grandmother would confuse her and her many sisters.
- Kristina (moi) at Autism Vox writes about watching my son Charlie grow into a big boy—into an adult—at The [autistic] Child is father of the [autistic] Man.
- Cory at Baldiness writes about the Indian hair trade in Children Pay the Price for Hair Trade.
- Glora at Cancer Commentary notes that early menopause is more likely in childhood cancer survivors.
- Laura at CFS Squared writes different options for camp (day camp; a special weekend camp for children with CFS) at Camp CFIDS.
- Rob writes at Diabetes Notes on Weighted toys may help kids at risk for diabetes shed pounds—are Barney barbells next?
- Grace writes at Flu Patrol.
- Hsien at Genetics and Health writes about how parents can cope with the news of a child being born with Birth Defects.
- Tris writes at Homely Scientist.
- Heather at Lively Women writes about Raising Healthy Eaters, a book by book by Dr. Henry Legere, a pediatrician specializing in childhood obesity.
- Christina at MRSA Notes provides a thoughtful overview about MRSA in Children.
- Rhys writes at Veggie Chic.
So eat your vegetables (Charlie has a thing for cauliflower, I don’t know why) and keep those hands washed!
Thanks for this round-up, Kristina. There are so many great ideas here for us parents who want to raise healthy children.
Great job with the round up, Kristina, thanks so much for doing it!!
