Children

We are a society that loves our favorites: whether it's favorite ice cream, favorite food, favorite song, favorite movie. But how about favorite kid?

This is the week Kicker 102.5 has teamed up with the U.S. Marine Reserve and Outback Steakhouse for a very special toy drive - “Outbackin’ for Toys” - on Friday, Nov. 16 between 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. That’s right! From 11:30 a.m...

Most parents and teachers realize that readers are taught rather than born. It isn’t often that you’ll see a child pick up a book on his own when there are so many other activities that he could be doing. That’s why the faculty at Nash Elementary is doing something to change the way students view books.

It's a fact, kids want to be on Facebook, at least until they get embarrassed when their parents start tagging them in everything.  Facebook's minimum age is 13 (and of course kids never lie to get one sooner).  How old do you think a child should be before they get a Facebook profile?

It may seem that our modern culture doesn't really encourage children to read much these days. With all the cartoons, video games and social media sites available today, it is no wonder that our young people are easily distracted. That's one of the reasons I'm so delighted when I see parents who work hard to engage their children and teach them the power of literacy.

How sad is this, an 8 year old boy in Ohio was taken into foster care because of his weight. He weighs over 200 pounds!

This is great! A mother of twins was wondering how one of her boys gets out of the crib? She did a little investigating and put up a video camera to catch the "great escape".

This video is a reminder that children are a must in a wedding! When my husband and I got married over 16 years ago, I had a friend tell me not to have children in a wedding party because they will do the unexpected.

I thought this was so funny! Yes, we all love ice cream and kids really love ice cream. This boy really, really loves ice cream!

I know summer is almost over, but new research shows that children that read to dogs during the summer actually maintain or increase their reading skills.

I'm still of the opinion that spanking can be a good child rearing tool if used properly. They can publish (biased, in my opinion) research all day long that says kids who are spanked are more likely to want to beat people up when they get older (yeah, ok) and my opinion won't change.

Listen to St. Jude patients talk about losing their hair and what it means to them.
