It truly helps to have those extra swimming skills! This is true not only for babies, kids, children, toddlers and infants, but also for adults. Thanks for sharing this information. "Many adults have learned to swim over the years, however, not everyone truly knows how to swim properly or good enough to truly be safe when out in the water. This is why one of the best ways to help prepare everyone in your family for the fun of the summer months is to take parent and child swimming lessons."

]]> Comment on Teenage Dating: How to Handle Your Daughter’s First Boyfriend by Justin Matthews http://realmenrealdads.com/2013/02/14/teenage-dating-how-to-handle-your-daughters-first-boyfriend/#comment-699 Justin Matthews Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:39:03 +0000 http://realmenrealdads.com/?p=1840#comment-699 I am nearly in the same boat. My daughter will be 13 in August and she just went to her first dance in 6th grade. We have set the no dating rules until she is 16 and the group dates only rules until 18 (37 if I had my way, but I don't.) I, like you, want to keep her in pigtails and hidden from the world. Alas, I know that will not happen so the only thing left is to guide responsibly so that the choices that she will make will be good ones. That and sharpen my sword for when those bugger some over to take her from me... Just kidding. (or am I?) :) I am nearly in the same boat.

A professor at my school, Rick Grieve, does research on Body Dysmorphia. This is from his page "right now I am investigating men's eating disorders, especially muscle dysmorphia. What is muscle dysmorphia, you ask? I'm glad you did. Think anorexia nervosa, but with large men who think they are too small. I am also interested in sport fan behaviors, and have a number of studies going in both areas." Body Dysmorphia is a serious issue.

]]> Comment on Krill Oil v. Fish Oil: 10 Things You Need to Know and Why by Omegafort SCC http://realmenrealdads.com/2012/09/26/krill-oil-v-fish-oil-10-things-you-need-to-know-and-why/#comment-443 Omegafort SCC Fri, 26 Oct 2012 20:26:14 +0000 http://realmenrealdads.com/?p=1547#comment-443 Krill oil does have some benefits, but apart from the drawback of its cost, some manufacturers have also tended to exploit the eagerness of health enthusiasts for “the next hot thing” by overstating its benefits. Not only have studies on krill been few, as you pointed out, but more often than not they’re financed by krill oil producers themselves; fish oil, in contrast, has been studied exhaustively and independently for more than 50 years, and in comparison with krill has been proven to have higher levels of EPA/DHA (it’s also worth noting that krill has never been a natural human food source, whereas fish obviously is). And regarding those fish burps, today’s higher-quality fish-oil capsules have enteric coatings that allow them to dissolve lower in the GI tract, thereby avoiding any fishy aftertaste or repeats. We have amassed a wealth of independently researched information about this and many other studies on our web site, www.ExpertOmega3.com.

]]> Comment on Real Dads Don’t Leave by Real mom http://realmenrealdads.com/2011/09/15/real-dads-dont-leave/#comment-380 Real mom Tue, 25 Sep 2012 13:34:56 +0000 http://realmenrealdads.com/?p=685#comment-380 Quick question...of the 7% of deadbeat Dads, is there any stats on why they have chosen/been forced to a dead beat route???? I have personally witnessed the horendous games MOMS play with fathers!! It is cruel and also understandable that a man and a father can be beaten into a state of giving up!! I believe a study of circumstance would most likely lower the 7 percent!! Is there ever a time a man should walk away from a child?? Perhaps when it is more damaging than beneficial and perhaps since he too should be allowed to move forward with a new relationship as MOMS do!!! Perhaps when the situation of sustaining a relationship of your child from a previous relationship is damaging to a whole outer cell of children and people, then men SACRIFICE their love for one child to spare the corruption of many!! I have witnessed the tears and terror that some men have had to endure and witnessed the pain of their current families at the hands of MOM's GAMES!!! Havent heard a cruel label tagged on those moms but know their percent would likely be greater than 7%!! I applaud all the dads who manage sanity and relationships with their children despite the hardships ruthless mothers bestow upon them!! Dads are human beings too!!! No man is immune to the pains involved in losing their fulltime relationships with their children through divorce!!! So I say MOMS treat the fathers like human beings so your children can reap the benefits!!!

]]> Comment on Childhood Illness and Parental PTSD by Sheila http://realmenrealdads.com/2012/02/25/childhood-illness-and-parental-ptsd/#comment-329 Sheila Fri, 10 Aug 2012 02:38:05 +0000 http://realmenrealdads.com/?p=752#comment-329 My 6 month old son contracted a blood infection two months ago. We were in the hospital for 9 days. There were several days we were waiting to see if the meds would work that I feared the worst was going to happen. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. My husband and I were at each other's throats eventually. When I saw my baby smile, it gave me the hope I needed to be stronger and see it through. I am still shell shocked - every cough, slight warmth to his skin, inexplicable cry - I panic. I am on an antidepressant now to try to help me deal with it. I don't know how parents of kids with long-term or terminal illness can cope with the absolute anguish. I guess the fears and possibilities are always there though - it's just that most parents fortunately don't have them thrown in their face.
