According to recent research, child obesity might be leveling off after increasing during the past 25 years. A parent can do bad things to a child. But making a young child obese must be one of the worst things imaginable.

Police believe the child was struck by a 1996 black Nissan Maxima and dragged about 35 metres. The car struck the four-year-old just before 9 p.m. in the area of Roche Court, near Erin Mills Parkway and the Queen Elizabeth Way. The boy was taken to a Toronto hospital.” [nostalgia, part I

Parents don’t try to enforce limits A report from the CDC examined parental responses to children’s increased screen time. Parents noted a variety of reasons why they did not enforce TV limits more strictly: Some were more concerned about limiting the type of TV program than the amount viewed. Many said it was hard to keep track of the time kids spent watching TV. Others did not see any reason for time limits, as long as chores and homework were done. The parental responses suggest that teleAustralia scores!
