Melissa of "Melissa & Doug" shares how "play" and the role of free time has evolved in this generation

Melissa of "Melissa & Doug" shares how "play" and the role of free time has evolved in this generation

Melissa & Doug recently partnered with Gallup to conduct a study on how different parents view “play” and “free time” for their kids, and realized that so many of us engage in what is often called “directive- protective parenting” versus letting our kids use their imagination to spark their own creativity and play. This is not only fascinating, but incredibly relevant, so thanks to Melissa for letting us share this!

Meet another Jennifer!

Meet another Jennifer!

If you have ever driven down the Post Rd and wondered about that New Beauty & Wellness place, It is worth popping in. There you will find a beautiful spa that quickly takes you outside of your day to day life, and transports you somewhere Zen. There you will also find Jennifer, a truly special esthetician who is kind, authentic, funny, and loves what she does. When she is with her two little ones, she loves camping, beach nights, and pizza at Colony Grill. She is not afraid to tell her kids that something is spicy (when it’s not!) as a simple ploy to keep them disinterested, and in a next life would maybe be a female contractor. If you meet Jennifer, you immediately want to do whatever she’s doing to her skin; stop by the spa sometime…we’re pretty sure you won’t regret It!

The 101 on Childhood Asthma, and what the Yale New Haven Hospital Experts recommend!

With the changing seasons and allergies, childhood asthma often flares up. There are a lot of questions parents often have about what causes childhood asthma, what triggers flare-ups, whether it will be outgrown, and of course how to handle asthma as it relates to sports and schools. We turned to the experts at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital for their thoughts – and research – on this topic, and hope this is a helpful guide!! One thing to note- Yale New Haven has pediatric respiratory specialists at many nearby locations, including Greenwich, Norwalk and Trumbull.
