Teen

You’re probably not quite sure when your chatty grade-schooler transformed into a monosyllabic adolescent who would rather scroll away on their cell phone than talk to you about … well, anything. Is it possible to get your teen to talk to you? Yes, it is.

You're officially an empty nester now that your last child has left the house. How do you feel? Are you ready to take on your newly changed parenting role? Or are you feeling a little down in the dumps? Empty nest syndrome is real with feelings of sadness, depression and loneliness. Let's see if we can get you to look at your newfound freedom in a way you may have never envisioned before. Own it! And rule the roost!

They are the scenarios all parents dread. Your toddler wakes up a 2 am wailing and pulling on her ear. Your 10-year-old tries to do "wheelies" on his bike. You find him sitting in the driveway clutching his arm, and it's swelling before your eyes. You find your 15-year-old curled up on her bed.

It's back-to-school time, and it's probably never been more stressful given the COVID-19 pandemic.

Halloween is here, and as you admire your mountain of sweets, you realize it's probably not the best idea to eat all that candy. After sorting through your treats and picking out your favorites, what should you do with the leftover candy?

Perhaps nothing signals that your little girl is growing up like the start of her period.

It's no secret that being overweight or obese can affect your overall health.

Good nutrition starts with smart choices in the grocery store. If you don't have the proper healthy ingredients in your home, preparing healthy meals can be difficult and challenging.

We've all heard the saying, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day." This is especially true for children as it is the perfect time to refuel in the morning to prepare for the school day. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, kids who eat breakfast are more focused, perform better in school, are better able to manage their weight, and eat healthier overall compared with those who don't eat breakfast.
