Losing Pounds or Your Money?

Sandy is typical of someone trying to lose weight. When she opens her medicine closet, weight loss products abound. There is a cream to rub on the thighs to make cellulite disappear. So far, not much has disappeared. Three herbal products promise to make fat melt away. Nothing has melted yet. There are more creams, more vitamins, more supplements. I had to ask how much Sandy paid for all this stuff. She didn't know, but at an average price of $20.00 a product, the money was significant.

Parent Coordinators for Divorced Parents

In an effort to prevent more divorced couples from litigating when problems arise, a new professional has been added to the legal mix. They are called Parent Coordinators. Parent Coordinators are typically specialized therapists who are given limited authority by the court to intervene with high conflict families. They can be assigned to a family before or after divorce, or years later if a family litigates again. Unlike guardians, they are available to parents for years.

Disney Rated G May Not Be Violence Free

It may be Disney and have a G rating. But this doesn’t guarantee against violence.

We tend to think that animated films by Disney that are rated “G” are fairly safe for our kids’ viewing. According to Harvard researchers who studied animated films, this may not be a good assumption. They concluded that a “G” rating doesn’t always reflect the content of animated movies. As parents, we need to constantly evaluate the effects of what our children are exposed to from outside sources. Next time, you see Disney and “G” don’t assume the movie is nonviolent. Check it out for yourself before you take the kids.
