baby_massage_283pxChildren need More Fat (the good kind, of course): It is now recognized that children under three require more fat intake as at least forty percent of the energy they consume comes from fat.

Extra virgin olive oil is a favorable means to providing some of these essential fatty acids as its ratio of linoleic acid to linolenic acid is similar to that of breast milk, and it’s low in polyunsaturated fats.

boy-meditating-lounge-283pxMeditation and children go beautifully together. Children are receptive. Their minds are clear and clean like large pools of water, and they accept things readily and with care. They do not query things as we do.  

Meditation may seem like a heavy word when we speak of children or young people, or even of ourselves, but it is not. On the contrary, there is a lightness to it. Meditation does not restrict the mind. Meditation allows the mind to wander, to be at peace, to be freee. It allows us to go deep within ourselves, to a quiet place where there is peace and tranquility.

When a man throws an empty cigarette package from an automobile, he is liable to a fine of $50.  When a man throws a billboard across a view, he is richly rewarded.  Pat Brown  quote from David Ogilvy, Ogilvy on Advertising, 1985
