The Curious Mom

Since the 1980s, the rate of twin births has increased by approximately 76% and 700% for triplet births. One of the main reasons why multiple births are happening more often is because of the use of fertility treatments. Unfortunately, though both physicians and doctors try and do a lot for the physical health of the mother and children, almost no support is provided for their mental health.

As per a research published in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice, parents of multiples (twins and triplets), reported higher levels of depression and anxiety. Another study conducted a systematic review of English language which assessed mental health outcomes for parents of multiples and found that the 27 studies published between 1989 to 2014 showed parents of multiples do face adverse psychological health conditions.

Even though a lot more research is needed to remedy the situation, it is imperative that as a caretaker of twins, you learn to deal with the depression and anxiety you might face. Remember that though PPD (post-partum depression) is a stage you’ll need to overcome, there are a couple of steps you can follow to ensure you enjoy your twins and aren’t stressed out by the workload and sleepless nights.

The long, lazy days of summer may be a distant memory for you, but for your kids, these days will build some of their longest lasting memories. So, it only makes sense that you would want to give them the best possible experiences they can!

We understand that, as parents, a lot of planning goes into creating the perfect summer for your kids. While they may be coasting along on popsicles, sunburns, and days at the lake, you’re working hard at making sure that you don’t have to hear the constant refrain of: “I’m bored” as the dog days of summer set in.

 

We know you don’t want your kids to spend those few, short months in front of a TV, but that doesn’t make it any easier to choose what activities you can do with them that will keep them (and you) entertained and occupied.

Of course, you have other options as well if you prefer, but it is always good to have a choice. It is up to you whether you will buy your own solar panels and hire someone to install them, or whether you will lease the panels. In this minimum investment case, you just need to pay for the guaranteed low, which is a fixed rate for the solar power produced by the system in the next 20 years covered by your agreement.

Dementia is something that we may all be affected by at some point in our life. Whether we develop the condition or someone we know does it has become an undeniable and common part of society. Celebrities who were diagnosed include Robin Williams and Terry Pratchett while numerous films have been made reflecting the horrors of the condition. But how do you explain dementia to children?

Unfortunately, the people who are most likely to develop dementia are the elderly. You might have a parent, aunt or uncle in their seventies or eighties. These are the people most at risk of developing the condition, and it is a difficult thing to describe to a child. Ultimately, dementia will involve someone losing a part of themselves and slowly becoming somewhat unrecognisable to those around them.

How you explain the condition will, of course, depend on the age of your child. Older children will be able to understand the complex condition far more easily compared to little ones. However, this won’t make it any easier for them when they need to come to terms with it.
