The American Massage Therapy Association conducted a study in 2001 that found the number of adults seeking massage therapy had more than doubled since 1997. Massage Therapy is no longer a luxury reserved for people who have too much free time, and money to burn. Massage Therapy is an effective, non-invasive, inexpensive treatment that relieves muscular pain and strain. It can improve your overall health by stimulating blood flow and lymphatic circulation which improves immune functions. Relaxing the muscles keeps the body flexible, improves sleep patterns, and stimulates endorphin levels which make us feel good and helps manage chronic pain.

A child’s intuition, or sixth sense, may be more important in the life of a child than many people realize. Intuition helps alert kids to danger, provides guidance in decision making and helps in problem solving, enabling youngsters to jump more quickly to a solution.

Insects are perfect…they always do their job, exceptionally well. They pollinate plants and recycle waste. By managing life and death, they are the true caretakers of the natural world. In fact bugs are essential to life on earth. They dominate our planet. In only one square mile there can be more insects than there are people in the entire world. However, they do not have to be allowed to set up residence in our homes. After all, they don’t pay us rent!

As a result, it is now predicted that one in three children will develop diabetes in their lifetime.

This September, before scheduling after-school soccer practice or cheerleading, why not consider committing to a different kind of extracurricular activity: community outreach. Every community has specific needs, and stepping in to help fill those needs as a family brings extended benefits. From strengthening family bonds and making memories to being a role model for friends and neighbors, connecting kids with their own community proves a winning combination.
