Have your doctor test your family for lead. It’s a simple finger or toe prick. Lead accumulates and can cause brain damage, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, behavioral problems, stunted growth, impaired hearing, kidney damage and even death. It can be removed – but only if you know it is there. For more information visit the Centers for Disease Control lead prevention site.

The advent of the Internet, in some respects, made the job of parenting a little harder. We want our children to experience the vast wealth of knowledge available on the Internet and communicate with their friends online (frees up the telephone). Unfortunately, it also potential exposes our children to inappropriate material, obscene pop-up ads, and even sexual predators. In fact, research indicates that 1 in 5 children aged 10 to 17 have received a sexual solicitation over the Internet. This is definitely not something any parent wants to hear, but is forced to face.
We need a little assurance that when our children access the web, they can do so safely. Internet filters are crucial to protect your children. One tool that can assist us in this goal is Internet Parental Control software. One of the top names in parental control software is PC Tattletale, and if the Big Mouse himself recommends this product, then it has to be good. If Disney feels good enough to install three of the PC Tattletale products in their Disney Dream Desk PC, it has to be worthy. After all, they are willing to stake their reputation on it.
