We are taking our twin grandchildren to Alaska for a combination land tour and cruise. In fact, we are leaving this afternoon. Though our grandkids are smart, they have not acquired travel smarts yet, so we helped them plan for the trip. Here is what we did.

PACKING LIST. I typed a list of all the things the kids would need for the trip. This list included clothing that could be layered (long sleeved t-shirts, long underwear, sweatshirts, etc.) and clothes for one formal dinner aboard ship. Rain gear was at the top of the list.

Unhealthy dietary influences are a great factor in the growth of childhood obesity. Portion sizes of food and soft drinks served at fast food restaurants are somewhat at fault for this epidemic. Portion sizes have greatly expanded; McDonald’s French fries were originally sold in two-ounce portions. Today’s “super size” fries are nearly seven ounces. Eight ounces was the original size of a vending machine Coke; this has expanded to twenty ounces (Mrdjenovic, Gordana, “Nutritional and energetic consequences of sweetened drink consuming in 6 – to 13 – year-old children,” The Journal of Pediatrics, 2003, p. 605).

Divorce stinks! It hurts a lot of people. Your children are hurt because the family they were a part of is over. Both you and your ex-spouse are hurt too. It doesn’t matter if you initiated the divorce or not, some hurt remains. There were hurtful things that happened in the marriage that lead to the divorce weren’t there? Withdrawal, attack, insults, infidelity, and outright anger are all typical steps that lead people down the road toward a divorce decision.

It is important that parents know the right way of improving self esteem in their children. Many parents, unfortunately, do not know this and so their relationship with their children suffers as a result. Their children grow into adults who have low self esteem which later affects their interpersonal relationships with other people - all because their parents did not foster their self esteem when they were children.

Parents should bear in mind that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, meaning they should prevent low self esteem from developing in their children so that when they become adults they will not have to pay for costly psychoanalysis just to solve their self esteem problem.
