A Couple Smart Family Tips

I read these this morning and thought to pass them on:

1) Here are three sample chore charts for preschool-age children. Since these charts are picture-oriented and simple, they might be useful for younger kids, too. (I might start them on Katie when she's 2). Fear not, mom...these chore charts won't be used to turn your sugar-foot into a slave--they are simplyy an avenue to establish routine.

2) Did you ever wonder which sunscreen is safe and/or best for your child? Read more here.

"Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that 4 out of 5 sunscreen products offer inadequate protection from the sun, or contain ingredients with significant safety concerns. Leading brands were the worst offenders: None of market leader Coppertone’s 47 sunscreen products met EWG’s criteria for safety and effectiveness, and only 1 of 115 products from Banana Boat and Neutrogena, the second- and third-largest manufacturers, are recommended by EWG.”
