<p>Think it&#8217;s hard enough dealing with your kids begging for all the new gadgets they see advertised on television? Well now <a href="http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/family/archives/142046.asp?source=rss">kids are seeing more and more beer and vodka ads on television</a> too.</p>

<p>If your teen enjoys camping here are some <a href="http://magazine.teenhut.net/general/235-camping-tips-for-teenagers.html">camping tips for teens</a>.</p>
<p>Keep your child&#8217;s brain working with these <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Sparkplugging/~3/320170282/">multipication games</a>.</p>
