Breastfeeding is good for both babies and their mothers. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, breast milk contains nutrients that help babies grow and antibodies that prevent infection. Breastfeeding is also thought to protect against diseases such as diabetes type 1 and 2, asthma and leukemia, as well as protect against obesity. As for mothers, breastfeeding helps them recover faster from delivery, shed pregnancy weight sooner and have less risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Considering the World Health Organization recommends mothers breastfeed their children for 2 years, mothers should be able to "milk" some benefits from it too.
More teenagers smoked marijuana in 2010 that's according to 46,482 anonymous questionnaires given to teenagers by the Monitoring the Future survey. According to the survey, 1.2% of eighth graders smoked pot on a "near daily" basis. For tenth graders it was 3.3% and for twelfth graders, 6.1%. Because of recent discussions to legalize marijuana, it seems teens don't think it is a dangerous drug. However, pot affects both learning and memory; and using it before age 17 can result in dependency on other drugs. In protecting teenagers from drugs, parents shouldn't let any "grass" grow under their feet.
High school nerds are healthier as adults. That was the finding of a study that followed 10,000 Wisconsin high school graduates from the class of 1957. When these former students were questioned about their health, the researchers found that the better grades students got in high school, the less likely they were to have poor health when they reached retirement age. This wasn't because better students were more conscientious about their health. Instead, it was because what students learned in school could be used to maintain their health. Maybe 3 little words should be written on every biology blackboard live and learn.
Finally, video games are good for children. According to more than 20 studies done at the University of Rochester, playing action video games improves skills in vision, attention and certain aspects of cognition which are real-world skills. For example, gamers see subtle shades of gray better and are better able to drive in fog. Female gamers are almost as proficient as men at manipulating 3-D figures, an essential mental skill for math and engineering. Gamers can read smaller print which would make them better able to read contracts. Maybe parents should think of video games as preparation for "gameful" employment.
