• What's My Age Again?

  If you've ever wondered, "does anyone read the boxes and manuals that come with my kids' toys?" the answer may very well be, "no, not even the people who made the product." Submitted for your approval: The Everlast Youth Inflatable Punching Bag is just what you'd think it is: a punching bag that inflates. For a youth (or, as Joe Pesci said in 'My Cousin Vinnie,' yoots.) But what age youth? Ah, there's the rub....   Read More...

• Kids Learn To Lie By Watching You

  There's an interesting article in New York magazine on lying. While parents cite honesty as the trait they want most in their kids, there's a few set-ups that encourage telling tales and denying facts. The author notes that children observe our socially polite "white lies" and essentially get the lesson, "It's okay to lie to avoid hurting others," which they then extend to stuff like telling us falsehoods about their activities to spare our feelings. There's also an interesting discussion of how teens perceive open conflict with parents as bringing them closer to the 'rents, while parents view it as destructive. You can see how this difference in perspective might encourage kids to at least withhold information. Even tattling gets the spotlight: We essentially punish kids for being honest about someone else's behavior, and send the message that we don't care about their problems.  But are all lies created equal, and are all liars just doing what they learned by watching you?

• Don't Get All Guilty About Eating Crap

  You'd think I'd be totally into an article on why you shouldn't feel bad about "diet flubs," but apparently I'm so crabby I can find fault with anything right now. Basically the gist is that nobody eats perfectly all the time, and that you may not be as bad as you think. So if you lament that you eat empty carbs, you can chillax because only half your grain servings need to be whole grain; if you love red meat, just keep it to lean cuts three times a week; if you only like carrots as a veggie, don't stress because you'll probably get sick of them; and if you don't read nutrition labels, great cuz you aren't being suckered by healthy, sugar-free claims, just keep an eye out for hydrogenated oils. Fine. So why am I still somewhat hissy? Well...   Read More...
