Bean Sprouts.

You can sprout many seeds but the two most common sprouted types are bean and alfalfa. 

If you buy them at the supermarket, look for sprouts that are perky and smell fresh and avoid those that smell off or that appear slimy or wilted.

They have amazing nutritional benefits, for starters, they’re rich in many nutrients.

They also improve your digestion and blood sugar levels, and fight heart disease.

Focus on Mental Fitness. 

When it comes to Mental Fitness there is a large number of parenting topics like dopamine, oxytocin, cortisol, and attachment that we would like to explore in order to raise happy children. But with 10,000+ studies on all of them, it can feel overwhelming and sometimes between diapers and homework we cannot find the time to learn the latest research.

Parents just need a good place to start, so we went ahead and did a little research for you and found this awesome app “The Happy Child”.

Within this app, you can find a series of short video workshops that will help you understand the way that family relationships work and how you can actively work in making the connections better.

We hope you embark on this adventure of Emotional Growth and Relationships with us!

Things You Can Do to Prevent Child Abuse.

• Learn what child abuse is. Physical and sexual abuse clearly constitute maltreatment, but so does neglect to provide a child with needed food, clothing, and care. Children can also be emotionally abused when they are rejected, berated, or continuously isolated.
• Teach children how to be treated. When children are taught they are special and have the right to be and feel safe, they are less likely to think abuse is their fault, and more likely to report an offender.
• What are the signs? Unexplained injuries aren’t the only signs of abuse. Depression, fear of a certain adult, difficulty trusting others or making friends, sudden changes in eating or sleeping patterns, inappropriate sexual behavior, poor hygiene, secrecy, and hostility are often signs of family problems and may indicate a child is being neglected or physically, sexually, or emotionally abused.
• Report Abuse. If you witness a child being harmed or see evidence of abuse, make a report to your state’s child protective services department or local police. Listen carefully to the child that is suspected of being abused, explain to the child that he or she did the right thing by telling an adult, and affirm that he or she is not responsible for what happened.
