Many studies have tried making sense of why bullies repeatedly pick on other kids, but none of them ever asked the bullies themselves why they do it. A new research is the first to do so.

According to the latest finds, kids tend to avoid eating vegetables if they are referred to by means of simple terms, such as carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, and so on.

I must say I'm shocked, I feel outdated and completely out of this world, even though I'm in my mid 20s, for God's sake! But there are some games out there that just make me wonder.

It's always nice to know that the range of video games for kids keeps growing and the big companies care. For profit, indeed, but it makes us forget them a little bit when it comes to kids.

Breaking news: Britney Spears, everyone, finally got to see her two tots. She hadn't seen them in almost six weeks, and the last time she saw them, she was holding one of them hostage, so yes, I think it must have been a pretty tense meeting.

Certainly, I'm in no position to tell parents how to raise their children, but I can surely say a lot about what dangers lurk around on the Web. Cyber-security is not an issue for kids to handle, but parents should seriously think about it, when letting the little ones surf the Net. Now besides the fact that chi... |
