  • When a game is parent-approved and isn’t played in excess, it can help the child in social, physical and educational ways. Being a parent your concern about video games and their harmful effects is valid. But by only focusing on the dangers, you’re also moving away from the potential benefits your child can reap from video gaming. If you’re looking in the right direction and taking the right steps, your child can develop important life skills with the help of video games.

  • This past week we in the Dad Blogging world learned of the death of a fellow blogger and dad. This blogger was also someone that recently was spotlighted in my Dads in the Limelight Series (http://dadofdivas.com/dads-in-the-limelight/dads-in-the-limelight-limelightdads-marc-block-dadchat-dadstalking) . After his death many of us who did not know him learned about his struggle with depression which ultimately led to his death. Because of this many of us within this community decided to run a number of posts this week in memory of Marc and to talk about the issue of mental health and depression in men today.

 

What is sad is that  many men who are fighting  Depression or other mental illness never reach out for help (as Marc did) and fewer still follow through with the needed treatment that is out there. To often there is a stigma that is placed on depression that men and women want to hide from.

  • Odwalla, a brand that I tried in the past truly love is working with a program called Champions for Kids that works to works to mobilize MILLIONS of people by providing training and resources to improve the lives of children in communities across America and beyond. Their goal is to mobilize 20 Million people by 2020.  One of the ways in which they are trying to mobilize individuals is through providing healthy breakfast options for all children once they leave school for the summer.



I know that even in my own community we have over 70 families who rely on our local food bank to be able to have the food they need throughout the year. Many of the kids in the family's attend the same schools as my own and they rely on the breakfast food that they receive at school and the free and reduced lunches that they receive to supplement the food that they receive from our food bank.

  • Last night was a beautiful clear night, the first we have had in some time. Because of this we decided to have a stargazing night as a family. We went outside to study the stars. Using my home telescope as well as a few apps that I have on my phone I was able to share with my kids a ton of information about the vast universe that surrounds us. I could see their eyes growing so large and seeing that we live a little outside of town we were able to see so much more than we would with the light pollution that some other people that I know have.



After doing this we surprised the kids by having placed some glow in the dark stars on the bedroom ceiling of their rooms. They were ecstatic! The look of excitement on their faces was priceless!
