TEACHING YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT THE HAZARDS OF CHEMICAL DEODORANTS For most young people, the idea of leaving the house without a substantial shmear or spritz of their favorite deodorant/antiperspirant sounds absolutely crazy!

ARE YOU A ‘SUPPORTIVE’ PARENT, OR ‘HELICOPTER PARENT’?
ARE YOU A ‘SUPPORTIVE’ PARENT, OR ‘HELICOPTER PARENT’? The other day, I caught a few minutes of a popular radio show featuring two women who make their living talking about books, movies, current events, and pop culture.
