New parents often have a dilemma to decide, sometimes even before they try to have kids in the first place: are they going to be a “disposable” family or a “cloth” family?

More and more, the trend in eco-friendly parenting is to go with the cloth diapers. Technology has caught up to the absorbent fabrics being used, and they don’t have the stigma that going natural used to have in the past (“unexpected leakage” being the predominant concern).

Make your own Customized Crayola Crayon Box

Crayola Crayon 64 64-crayon Crayolas

There is a hierarchy of crayons in school.

The average child starts out with the standard 8-color box of Crayola crayons. Web Watch is quite fond of this one, as we never really got past the fact that there are different color Reds and Blues in today’s world. To us, it’s either “red” or “blue”, with none of those various shades.

As you got older, you would get the 16 or 24-count box of Crayolas.

Eventually, you’d be lucky enough to get the holy grail: the famed 64-count box of Crayola Crayons with the built-in sharpener in the box.

Eventually, even that was too boring, and Crayola came out with the 128-count box. Yeah, those kids were living the good life. They may not have been able to draw worth a darn, but they had all the tools available if they tried.

Coppertone Sport sunscreen spray

Now that the summer camp season is winding down and kids are heading back to school, Web Watch wanted to take a moment to share with you a story that would have freaked some parents out and led to unhappy summer vacations if we had shared it a month ago when this first crossed our browser.

It ends up that SUMMER CAMPS ARE GETTING IN TROUBLE FOR APPLYING SUNSCREEN TO CAMPERS.

And it’s all because some parents are extra-sensitive about who should be allowed to touch their children, even when done in a supervisory manner by workers in child-oriented jobs.

Girls should avoid the playground see-saw

4-person See-Saw Buy a FOUR PERSON SEE-SAW

Children of all ages have been getting injured at the playground for years.

It really should come as no surprise that parents are always looking for the safest type of playground for their kids to play at, but those parents are always coming up short.

Playgrounds, just by their very nature, are just waiting for accidents to occur, no matter how safe they appear to be.

In case you didn’t know, children’s playgrounds are dirty, filthy places.

It doesn’t really matter what type of playground you’re talking about. Playgrounds at schoolyards and parks are often found scattered with broken bottles and used condoms. Playgrounds at McDonald’s and Chuck E Cheese are covered in germs.

Some parents consider the ingestion of some germs as a healthy habit for their kids, in order to help build up immunities.

Should parents allow teens to have sex at home?

What About Sex?: Teens Speak Out About Parents, Peers & Personal Responsibility

It’s a growing trend these days – parents, in their bid to be “cool and hip”, are allowing their teens to have more and more benefits that the parents may have been denied themselves while growing up.

Whether it be their own cellphone when they’re 10 years old, regular access to the kegerator in the basement when they’re 15, or being given their own new car just because they lived to be 16-years-old – more parents are deciding that the old rule of “as long as it’s at home, it’s okay” is a perfectly adequate way to raise their children.

Even when it comes to teens having sex in the house.
