Bullies Target Obese Kids
For kids, a few extra pounds may invite trouble from the schoolyard bully. This is what the researchers have discovered that I recently read.
The study shows or it suggested that just by being overweight, a child has a very big chance of getting bullied. Although there are many factors that play a role of getting bullied, like gender, face or family related, being overweight is still the main reason. Being overweight or obese trumps all those other factors when it comes to aggressive behavior from other children.
The study found that being overweight increased the risk of being the target of bullying by 63 percent.

Baby Constipation: Tips Cure and Remedies
Today’s (overdue) post is about baby constipation. We’ll try to list down the causes of it, the tips and cures and also enumerate the best treatment or remedies in dealing with toddler constipation. Like I said, this is an overdue post. I could have made a post like this way back when my first born (Matt) was a little over 1 year old.
Matt is turning 4 years old now and his little brother, Sean, will be turning 2. That is why this topic on baby constipation is a little late. Good thing (NOT) that my sons sometimes still suffer constipation which reminded me to browse the web and search for remedies for constipation.. specific for babies and toddlers

Facts About Minor Wound Care
My son had an very terrifying accident the other day, January 9 to be exact. He jumped on the bed and cut his toes with a tin sheet (his white board toy). It bled. It bled so hard that I almost panicked!
You probably think you know all the facts when it comes to the topic of minor wound care – if you cut your finger, just dab a tissue on it and you’re ready to go! Unfortunately it is not as simple as that. Minor wounds deserve special treatment in order to heal most efficiently and minimize the appearance of scars. So before you peel off that bandage make sure you know the difference between the facts and the misconceptions on minor wound care.
Misconception: It is best to let a minor wound heal over with a scab.
For a long time I thought this is the truth.. until know, I think it is. But if scab makes the healing process longer, I need to search more about it.
Fact: Scabs actually impede the healing process by creating a barrier between healthy skin cells. The cells have to work their way under the scab in order to form new tissue and heal. Scabs can also be easily torn or scratched, causing re-injury.
