Teaching New Parents About The Importance Of Iron

Health Canada’s infant feeding guidelines recommend that a baby’s first solid foods be iron-rich, calling out meats like beef as a best source of high-quality iron. While this guidance was published in 2012, previous research has shown that this recommendation is still not widely understood or being adopted. To better understand parents’ gaps in knowledge, Canada Beef’s Health & Nutrition team commissioned a national study with Leger Marketing on this topic.

Are Your Kids Curious About Adult Conversations?

Kids don’t usually care one iota about being included when their parents are doing chores, cooking dinner, folding laundry…but as soon as they see their parents trying to have a conversation (either with each other or another adult), they are here. for. it. The good news is, it’s a pretty common developmental milestone—it turns out that kids eavesdrop on or want to be included in adult chatter because they’re trying to figure out how adults work. (Too bad that justification doesn’t make it less annoying.) Tell us in the poll below: Are your kids all about adult conversations?

What Do You Do If Your Kids Don’t Like Their Grandparents?

This question is behind one of our most-searched articles, and it’s a tough one to answer. That’s why we spoke to clinical psychologist Dr. Daniel Chorney, to learn more. (You can read the entire interview by hitting the button below!)

The bottom line is, it’s not a parent’s “duty” to foster a relationship with anyone within a family. Every family is different, and sometimes there are complicated relationships between family members—which include grandparents and grandchildren. That said, if fostering a connection is a good idea based on a family and their situation, starting off with smaller, positive events is a good way to begin. Grandparents overseeing a trip to the playground or taking a grandchild to a quick and relatively structured event (an after-school sports practice) could help build a relationship before committing to bigger events, like spending the night, which could be challenging and stressful.
