Santa took off his shoes and socks and his toes were all twisted and discolored."What happened to your feet?" his wife asked."I had a childhood disease called Tolio.""Don't you mean polio?""No, tolio, it only affects the toes."Santa then removed his pants and revealed an awful-looking pair of knees."What happened to your knees?" she asked."Well, I also had Kneesles.""Don't you mean measles?""No, kneesles, it only affects the knees."When he removed his shorts, his wife gasped and said, "Don't tell me, you also had Smallcox!"

| | Guest Post With Kate Jacobs : On Food Memories From Childhood | | 2008-06-27 13:14:38 | | I got a chance to ask Kate Jacobs, author of The Friday Night Knitting Club; And her most recent foodie geared novel Comfort Food , a very personal question.RC: How do you feel food memories from childhood shape us into adults? Image © Kate Jacobs. KJ: We all have wonderful memories of meals shared with families, sitting around the table with the Thanksgiving turkey and summer barbecues eating corn on the cob.I love birthday cake, just like the main character Gus in my new novel Comfort Food, and I remember my sister decorating a cake that looked like a pizza with all the toppings for my fifth grade sleepover party. That was the birthday I got a puppy, Pepsi, who was my first Springer Spaniel and one of my dearest friends ever.It’s all connected for me: the cake, the friends, the puppy. That was one of the best days of my life!And I love to recall having fresh fruit pie at my grandmother’s house Made with cherries that my brothers and sisters had just picked off the trees | | By: Renaissance Culinaire | | |

| | More Vitamin D in Childhood Cuts Later Diabetes Risk | | 2008-04-15 09:42:15 | | (HealthDay News) -- Children who take vitamin D supplements may be less likely to develop type 1 diabetes later in life, according to researchers who analyzed the findings of five previously published studies.The researchers found that children who were given additional vitamin D were about 30 percent less likely to develop type 1 diabetes than children who didn't receive vitamin D supplements. The evidence also indicated that the higher and more regular the dose of vitamin D, the lower the risk of developing diabetes.The findings were published online in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood.Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder, develops when insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are destroyed by the body's immune system, a process that begins in early infancy, according to background information in the review study.The incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing by about 3 percent a year, and it's estimated that new cases of the disease will have increased 40 percent betwe | | By: Live Blood Cell Darkfield Analyse Blog | | |

A paper published in December 2006 by the British Medical Journal reported that children with higher IQs tend to go on to become vegetarian.Adults who classified themselves as vegetarian tended to be five points higher in IQ when they were tested at age 10.Interestingly, the results remained stable after education and social class were controlled for.However, a third of people who classified themselves as vegetarian ate chicken or fish, suggesting most people work with a reasonably flexible definition.This study is from a research group in Southhampton who are looking at the link between childhood factors and adult brain development. | | By: Vegetarian Bloggers | | |

| | Nutrition and Good Food Choices Starts In Childhood | | 2008-03-30 22:01:00 | | I get a lot of commentary and questions concerning food. Though the significance of proper food has been raised in recent months, Any number of people continue to neglect the basic principles of a sound and healthy and well diet. I'll bet you've never even taken the time to think about what your nutritional needs are, or the importance of that food on your health and well being. Trying to understand how specific areas of diet influence the health of many is what the science of food is about. It is well known that correct food is the key to good health and longevity. If you think planning your food is paying a price, wait until you start having serious health problems from eating improperly and being overweight - heat disease, diabetes and the list goes on. If your diet does not contain any of these simple minerals plus vitamins, you could seedramatic health problems.

| | Recovered memories of childhood abuse -From Thrivers | | 2008-03-04 14:27:33 | | Article By:Jane RowanWhy are memories of abuse so often hidden? This is a really hard question for people in recovery from abuse, for therapists, and for researchers. In my case, I didn't recognize one of my early childhood memories as a memory of abuse until I was in my fifties. Then physical memories started to come back to me, memories that led me to know my father had sexually abused me. How could such a big betrayal remain hidden in the back corners of a psyche for years and years? Can we really believe memories that have been hidden so long?It's very common for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to suppress the memories. (Studies say from 30% to 60% of survivors experience loss of memories of abuse.) When the memories come back up, they are often in fragmentary form-a touch, a feeling of nausea, a smell, a fraction of a scene. This fragmentation has a physiological cause. The stress hormones released during frightening events suppress the hippocampus, a part of the brain vital f | | By: Absolute Zero United | | |
| | | Mercury in Childhood Vaccines Excreted Quickly | | 2008-02-01 04:47:01 | | (HealthDay News) -- The latest chapter in the debate over whether childhood vaccines can cause autism was written Wednesday with release of a study that showed the controversial mercury-containing preservative thimerosal is rapidly excreted from babies' bodies and can't reach toxic levels."Thimerosal has been used for decades, but the surge in vaccinations caused fear that possible accumulations of ethyl mercury, the kind in thimerosal, might exceed safe levels -- at least, when based on the stringent risk guidelines applied to its better-understood chemical cousin, methyl mercury, which is associated with eating fish," lead researcher Dr. Michael Pichichero, a professor of microbiology/immunology, pediatrics and medicine at the University of Rochester, said in a statement."One of the unanswered questions when this first popped up as a controversy was, when you got thimerosal as an injection, how long would it stay in your blood," study co-author Dr. John Treanor, a professor of medici | | By: General Detoxification & Cleansing Blog | | |
| | Childhood Obesity Statistics - 18% of children Today are Obese. | | 2007-12-25 22:25:34 | | Childhood Obesity Statistics - 18% of children Today are Obese.I got a little shock after I read an article about Childhood Obesity statistics. The article tell us that today, 18 % of children are obese or overweight. This percentage number is really high to me, for every 1000 children, there are 180 children are obese. Wow that's really scaring me.What is Childhood Obesity?From Wikipedia, Childhood obesity is:a medical condition that affects children. It is characterized by a weight well above the mean for their height and age and a body mass index well above the norm. Childhood obesity is considered by many to be an "epidemic" in Western countries, in particular, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. Over 15% of American children are currently considered obese, and the number is growing You see the statistics from Wikipedia above that over 15% of USA/America Children have a problem with obesity.You could read the full article about childhood obesity statistic which tell us that today 18% children are obese below:Staggering Childhood Obesity StatisticsBy Jessica AChildhood obesity can be difficult to deal with. The fact is, it's a problem that needs to be addressed now. It's frightening to see the childhood obesity statistics. There are difficulties and diseases in adulthood that have been linked to childhood obesity.With the problem getting out of hand in many countries, the future of the children looks tragic. The number of obese children has tripled since the 80s. 18 percent of children today are obese.An obese adolescent has a 70% chance of being an obese adult, according to childhood obesity statistics. That is an alarming amount of kids. The simple fact is that we have to teach our children about nutrition and instruct them on how to eat.Children who eat too much sugars and fats are learning bad eating habits that will stay with them when they become adults. As you can see, it's extremely important to make sure you watch what your child is eati | | By: Baby First Year | | |
| | | Childhood Obesity Revisited | | 2007-12-11 13:47:00 | | The other day, my kids reminded me of the dessert policy I instituted when they were young. They could choose to either have: 2 small items, like two cookies, or 8 M&M’s. Don’t ask me how I came up with this crazy formula. But I do remember firmly adhering to it and except on special occasions they knew never to even ask for special dispensation. When they were too young to know any differently, there were no sweets or junk food in our house, at least not for them. As they got old enough to know better, I declared that complete abstinence would create cookie monsters, so “that food” became permissible but only in a natural, controlled rhythm. I do admit to sometimes finding empty candy wrappers and chip bags under couch cushions and under beds, but I allowed these digressions to pass without confrontation. I attributed it to youthful spunkiness and small acts of rebellion - allowing the guilty parties to believe that they had gotten away with something. Instead, maybe it should have been my wake up call.By the time my kids became adolescents, they could easily have been labeled “chunky”, or “full”, or dare I say, overweight? Although I knew they weren’t skinny, they were very active, avidly playing all kinds of sports and most importantly, they had great self esteem, lots of friends and definitely no body image issues. Today, when I look back at their pictures they were definitely “overweight”. Back then I grappled with how to deal with the problem. Or was it a problem? They were far from obese, lead busy, active lives and quite honestly were very happy. The last thing that I wanted for my kids to believe was that their size mattered. Who's problem was it really?So we framed it with discussions about eating healthy and the importance of being fit. We always had healthy meals and rarely ate fast food. Removing the sweets and chips from our cupboards was not the answer. I believed that teaching my kids how to eat in moderation and to enjoy food | | By: Minivan Diaries | | |

| | Childhood Obesity - A Threat to our Public Health | | 2007-12-10 11:05:00 | | About 33% of US children and adolescents between the age of 2 and 19 years old are overweight and 17.1% of those are obese “If we don’t take steps to reverse course, the children of each successive generation seem destined to be fatter and sicker than their parents.” Dr. David Ludwig made this statement in an editorial he wrote in a recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, in response to the findings of two published studies of childhood obesity. Both studies looked at the effects that childhood obesity will have on the future health of overweight children. One study followed 277,000 Danish students for decades by evaluating detailed health records. The study found,…the more overweight a child was between ages 7 and 13, the greater the risk of heart disease in adulthood. The older the children are, the higher the chance for later heart risk. So, for example, a boy who was heavier than his peers at age 7 had a 5 percent increased risk for later heart disease, but a boy who was heavier than his peers at age 13 had a 17 percent greater risk. If these findings aren’t startling enough, there’s more. The most obese child in the Danish study was at a 33% greater risk for heart disease in adulthood. Yet, the fattest boys in the entire Danish sample are barely considered overweight by US standards. Barely considered overweight by US standards! Think about the implications of that finding. This means that the risk for adult heart disease for Americans is most definitely even greater than 33%. Now combine this information with the findings out of UCSF which state that: if the number of overweight children continues to increase at current rates, then by the year 2035, the rate of heart disease will rise to 16 percent or as many as 100,000 extra cases of heart disease attributable to childhood obesity. Although it may not seem like it now, it won’t be long before we are standing on the threshold of a Public Health crisis. The economic costs of this stra | | By: Minivan Diaries | | |

| | Who Is To Blame For The Death of Childhood? | | 2007-11-06 00:29:00 | | Thanks Raf, for shooting this one over. Hey, maybe I'll start writing again soon, would that be a good idea? In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, 110 teachers, psychologists, children's authors and other experts call on the Government to act to prevent the death of childhood.They write: "We are deeply concerned at the escalating incidence of childhood depression and children's behavioural and developmental conditions."The group, which includes Philip Pullman, the children's author, Jacqueline Wilson, the children's laureate, her predecessor Michael Morpurgo, Baroness Greenfield, the director of the Royal Institution and Dr Penelope Leach, the child care expert, blames a failure by politicians and public alike to understand how children develop."Since children's brains are still developing, they cannot adjust. . . to the effects of ever more rapid technological and cultural change," they write.advertisement "They still need what developing human beings have always needed, including real food (as opposed to processed "junk"), real play (as opposed to sedentary, screen-based entertainment), first-hand experience of the world they live in and regular interaction with the real-life significant adults in their lives."They also need time. In a fast-moving, hyper-competitive culture, today's children are expected to cope with an ever-earlier start to formal schoolwork and an overly academic test-driven primary curriculum."They are pushed by market forces to act and dress like mini-adults and exposed via the electronic media to material which would have been considered unsuitable for children even in the very recent past."The letter was circulated by Sue Palmer, a former head teacher and author of Toxic Childhood, and Dr Richard House, senior lecturer at the Research Centre for Therapeutic Education at Roehampton University.Mrs Palmer said: "I have been thinking about this for a long time and I just decided something had to be done."It is like this giant elephant in al | | By: Pirate Papa | | |

| | Do We Spend Our Adult Life Getting Over Our Childhood? | | 2007-07-02 01:47:00 | | photo by Southworth SailorSeriously. Do we spend our entire adult life trying to get over our childhood? Is it just a phase? It seems like those critical childhood years of interacting with others contributes to so much of who we are as adults and if those years were dysfunctional, then all we can do is try to deal later on and not let it define us.The last several years I have been trying to make sense of my life and with how I was raised. I know that my anxiety is a combination of genetics and behavior I learned from my environment. In my home, there was questioning levels of child abuse. Child Abuse itself is a controversial topic, and is hard to define where and when the line gets crossed. Some cases are very black and white, others are gray. For my older siblings there was more black and white cases I think. For me personally, there was a lot of gray which almost makes it harder because there isn't easy validation for your feelings.

| | Childhood And Poetry | | 2007-05-03 08:14:01 | | Pablo Eliecer Neftali Neruda speculates on the origin of his poetry:
One time, investigating in the backyard of our house in Temuco the tiny objects and minuscule beings of my world, I came upon a hole in one of the boards of the fence. I looked through the hole and saw a landscape like that behind our house, uncared for, and wild. I moved back a few steps, because I sensed vaguely that something was about to happen. All of a sudden a hand appeared, a tiny hand of a boy about my own age. By the time I came close again, the hand was gone, and in its place there was a marvelous white sheep.The sheep’s wool was faded. Its wheels had escaped. All of this only made it more authentic. I had never seen such a wonderful sheep. I looked back through the hole but the boy had disappeared. I went into the house and brought out a treasure of my own: a pinecone, opened, full of odor and resin, which I adored. I set it down in the same spot and went off with the sheep.
