Mum Encourages Others To 'Breastfeed Uncovered' After Being Stared At In 'Disgust'
Earlier today I posted this picture of my son and I breastfeeding uncovered in a public restaurant. In the picture, it appears I'm staring off into the distance.

"You are wasting effort telling young people to avoid alcohol if age restrictions are not enforced at liquor stores and beer drinking is advertised at football matches", explains author, Rutger Engels, Professor in Developmental Psychopathology at Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands, writing on the Child and Family Blog, ChildandFamilyBlog.com, a new site where the world’s leading child researchers summarise their latest findings.

Group support for couples under financial threat




Don’t dump couple relationship education until co-parenting support has been included and the benefits for children are known
 

"Continued financial backing of group support for couples is under threat even though evaluation has largely ignored its value for children and parenting."

Philip A. Cowan and Carolyn Pape Cowan, Professor of Psychology, Emeritus and Adjunct Professor of Psychology, Emerita, University of California, Berkeley

Policy makers should look very carefully before they leap to accept a poorly evidenced negative verdict and reduce support for co-parenting programs.
