Parenting: The Challenge

Remember the days of kick the can, hide and go seek, or red rover?  These harmless children’s games have dwindled in a big way, only to be replaced with new dangerous games like the "choking game". Kids intentionally choke themselves or another which is supposed to bring them to "euphoric" state. What they may not realize is it cuts of the blood supply to the brain and can kill off brain cells. Even worse they can become unconscious and become permanently disabled. Talk to your children about this dangerous "game" and educate them on the effects to their well-being.
