What to Look for in Educational Games for Different Age Groups

  Not every game sold as “educational” is truly educational. Some are built around how children actually grow and learn. Others just use smart packaging. The real test is simple: does the game match what your child is ready to practice right now? Child-development guidance from the CDC, NAEYC, and Harvard all point in the same direction: children learn best when play is age-appropriate, active, meaningful, and engaging. So, Are Educational Games Real or Just Marketing? They are real when they are designed around a child’s stage of development. That usually means the game supports a clear skill such as sensory exploration, language, memory, problem-solving, turn-taking, or self-control.

ACOG says side sleeping later in pregnancy is best and notes that placing a pillow between the knees and another under the belly, or using a full-length body pillow, can help with support. The NHS also recommends side sleeping and suggests supporting the bump and placing a pillow between the knees. Why Sleep Gets Harder In Pregnancy As pregnancy progresses, body weight shifts, posture changes, and pressure builds around the lower back, hips, pelvis, and abdomen. Even falling asleep can become harder because the body no longer feels evenly supported. That is why many women start using maternit...

One of those decisions is bathing.  For some, it’s a question of whether or not they are bathing their baby enough. Others are worried that they are bathing their baby too frequently. With all of the advice that is floating around, it’s easy to get confused.  However, bathing a newborn baby is not as difficult as it might seem. Here’s a little bit of myth dismantling that can help you bathe your baby with confidence. Common Newborn Bathing Myths (And the Real Facts) #1 Myth: Newborns need to be bathed once every day.
