The "best interests of the children" is the standard in all of the United States when it comes to determining parental custody. There are laws or statutes that govern child custody and each has factors that will be considered in determining a parental custody arrangement. All of the factors are evaluated towards determining the standard. In the end, the best interests of the children involved will be the most influential factor in determining the custody decisions made by the judge. Here are some custody issues to think about regarding parental custody.Regardless of how the judge had ruled on other cases, even though they may have been similar, you will never have a guarantee that your case will be determined in the same way. Some factors that are considered are those that exist in the past and cannot be altered. When a parent is suddenly acting differently towards a child in a positive way, but has been indifferent or absent in the past, the court will look at all behavior, not just the most recent.

Before educational television and electronic toys, there were wooden blocks. For centuries, parents have been giving their little ones these simple yet fun toys to entertain them and aid in development. Parents who are concerned with the educational value of their children's toys will appreciate the value of blocks. Not only do kids love to play with blocks, but they also learn in the process. Kids learn in many different ways. First, many sets have alphabet and even numbers painted on them. Alphabet blocks can be stacked, used to build things, and can be used to learn how numbers and letters look and sound. Children will love it when mom or dad gets down with them and plays too and you will have the perfect opportunity to try to teach your child what each letter is.Another benefit of these blocks can be seen in the increased attention span and learning ability of some children. We all learn in different ways, either by hearing, reading, seeing, or doing. Kids that learn kinesthetically, by doing, will benefit more from wooden blocks than from any educational television show or lecture. These children learn best when they can actually experience what they are trying to grasp. Not...more
