Solution To Family Fighting

By

The most common time of day for family fights is dinnertime. Studies found parents and kids were at the most highly charged from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This may be due to parents just returning from work and everybody is hungry. To reduce fighting, hold off on difficult topics until everyone’s looked through the mail, eaten, and changed clothes.

Crossing the Street in Winter Ice & Snow

By

Teach your kids to make sure that in winter snowy/icy weather, all cars have come to a complete stop before they start to cross a street. This is true even if they have a traffic light “walk” signal at a crosswalk. Cars can slide unexpectedly as they are trying to stop on the snow or ice and cause major injuries or death to the children as they are crossing.
