How do you get your child to eat enough protein ? Most adults fuss over how much protein they eat, but what about kids ? Check out if your little one is getting the protein they need to grow strong and smart. So, is your kiddo eating enough protein? The short answer is: they probably are. If you're feeding them a balanced diet, they’re most likely fulfilling their daily protein intake. In fact, they don’t really need as much protein as some people think. When they have stopped breastfeeding, kids 2-4 years old only need 2 portions of protein per day. That might sound like a lot, but those two portions can be an egg and half a cup of milk, 2 ounces of chicken and a ¼ cup of beans, or 1 tablespoon of nut butter, half a slice of whole grain bread and half a cup of milk.

Measure the height from the ground up to the spine of the book, and presto! That’s your kid’s current inseam. From there you can easily select the appropriately sized wheels and adjust the seat’s height. The point of all of this is that your kid should be able to sit comfortably on the bike w...

How To Make Sure Your Kids Are Money-Savvy As a parent, you do everything you can to prepare your children for the real world.  But are your kids money-savvy and knowledgeable about finances? Beyond receiving an allowance, many of us didn’t receive many lessons about money from our parents. It’s one of those topics that can become taboo in many families. Whether it’s because of a tight budget, religious reasons or pure unwillingness, American families avoid discussing money with their children, even when they grow older. To be honest, “money talk” shouldn’t be limited to a piggy bank and a vague recommendation to save for the future. Being financially educated involves knowing not only that you should save, but how to manage money wisely and stick to a budget. As an adult, you can even share your own mistakes with your children in the hopes that it helps them. It shouldn’t be too complicated to teach your children  financial literacy. In fact, you can turn...
