The holidays are here and that usually means traveling! Paige and her family are on their way to the beach to meet up with family. Our family will stay put (we had a horrible travel experience last Christmas during “snowmageddon” and are still recovering). As always, traveling with children brings challenges. Here are some of our past travel experiences! We hope you have a wonderful, safe and uneventful holiday!

The environment is clearly changing, but the need still remains high. With over 100,000 children in foster care, we need more people to consider adoption! Lindsey has become quite an advocate for adoption and shares some great insights with us. You can find out more information at adoption.com or by reading Lindsey’s blog TheRHouse.

Paige and I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Yvonne Maddox about the National Children’s Study. Dr. Maddox serves as the deputy director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The National Children’s Study is the largest long-term study of children’s overall health and development every conducted in the United States. We learned more about what the Study is, why it is needed, who can participate, and how it may impact generations to come.

00:47 An Interview with Dr. Yvonne Maddox
First documented over one hundred years ago, the exact cause of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is still not fully understood. Evidence to date indicates that there are many underlying factors that lead to the inattention, impulsiveness and hyperactivity seen in ADHD, among them genetic and neurobiological vulnerabilities. New research by a group of international researchers believe they have direct evidence that points to a genetic abnormality as a component of ADHD. Paige and I discuss the recent research surrounding this discovery as reported at HealthNews.com.
Be sure to listen to MommyCast Show #419 for more information about the National Children’s Study! This study is the largest long-term study of children’s overall health and development ever done in the United States and will follow 100,000 children from before birth to age 21. Go to NationalChildrensStudy.gov for more information.
