As an eczema sufferer and a very allergy prone person, I am always weary of trying new lotions or creams - afraid of the onslaught of terrible itching a wrong ingredient will send my skin reeling from. Most of the time I loath even "sensitive skin" formulas because they usually cause even more irritation. But I was pleasantly surprised when opening Screen Inc. The lotion was very lightly scented

Whether it is for two hours or an entire day, millions of tweens (children ages 11 to 13) will be left home alone this summer, despite their parents’ concerns that they may not have the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe at home. Many parents worry that their at-home tweens do [...]

I don't know what the exact age range of the new age classification is--I think between 9 or 10 and 12--but Amanda is living there. Solidly. I have some evidence: She is soaking in Disney tween fare as much as she can. As little as six months ago, she was content with watching the Smurfs on Boomerang, and of course PBS fare such as Cyberchase and Fetch with Ruff Ruffman. She still enjoys

Let’s start with Britney. She was on the “New [...]

VANITY KIDNEY SHAPE PINK POODLE PINK POODLE BED SKIRT PINK POODLE RUG A little girl's transition from toddler to preteen should be recognized by tweaking the bedroom's design a bit. How does a decorator know where to draw the line between a decor that's too sophisticated for a tween girl and yet mature enough that allows hints of the stylish young lady that's blooming right before our eyes to peek through? Coming up with bedroom decorating ideas for tweens is challenging. I believe that the dramatic impact of black feathers and the softness of the color pink is the perfect balance. Stark black is the perfect background for many pastels as it grounds them and keeps them from being cloying and sappy. I give decorative accessories in black credit for being able to slip in mom's preference of an almost floral color scheme on many of my decorating projects. Black wrought iron lamps in contemporary shapes, black chandeliers and black beads will keep many prete

Shares of Tween Brands plummeted on Monday after the retailer released its third-quarter earnings report.

"The competition for customer attention is already resulting in an increased level of promotion, exerting more pressure on operating margins." Tween Brands reduced its forecast fo

Nickelodeon unveils an array of tween-centric devices: "DigitalLife is all about the tweens today, and Nickelodeon isn't about to be left out in the cold -- the venerable network has paired up with Imation to release an array of brightly-colored gear for the budding young geek. In addition to a line of pretty-decent DAPs, it's a pretty broad array of stuff you'd be mortified to own if you're not 7, including Dora / Diego and SpongeBob-branded cameras in resolutions from VGA to 3.0 megapixels, a Dora the Explorer portable CD player, a SpongeBob 15-inch LCD TV and progressive-scan DVD player, and a whack-SpongeBob-to-snooze alarm clock. The best of the bunch appears to be the $100 7-inch picture frame, however, which has a pretty decent-looking screen. Check it all out -- along with some hands-on shots -- in the gallery.(Via Engadget.)

Remember the owl decorating craze back in the 70s? Everybody was painting huge ceramic life size owls with those knowing yellow eyes and fluffy feathers around their eyes. The owl decor obsession fell somewhere between the psychedelic print phase and the mushroom phase. Warm fall colors of brown, pumpkin orange and yellow seemed to be everywhere from the kitchen and den to the baby's nursery. There were hoot owl canisters on the counters and plaques on the walls, but I didnt' start pecking on the keyboard to boogie down memory lane. You can take a look in your mom's photograph album to verify the style of decorating that your home was sporting during that time.I just found a really cute (and modern: no nauseatingly warm tones of bronze and orange, thank you very much) set of bedding for your little night owl teen to lounge on when she's supposed to be asleep in bed! It's called Night Owl (duh). The owl bedding fabric has a snowy white background with a nautical blue and red

While they are getting ready for their next audition, you can do your part by making their bedroom their personal stage where they can rehearse in comfort.

Read this yesterday in the NY Times Style section.Yikes.The article points to a disturbing trend among the 'tween' age bracket of girls, essentially caught between childhood and growing up, who have become a HUGE market for the consumer driven economy of fashion.I love fashion, I love shopping but I firmly believe that kids ought to be kids. I had that chance as (what I think of) a child (that is 12 and under...tho I would argue more for 13) to climb trees and have tea parties, and essentially still be a kid.There will be time enough for being grown up when adulthood with all its inescapable responsibilities comes. Young girls should feel free to be kids, for that still brief but precious time before the rat race descends. I feel like the older I get the more I see younger and younger girls trying to look older and older. How has our culture come to this? Dress-up is fine, but young girls need time to be just that; GIRLS.What do you think? Has commercialization gone too far in creati

My daughter, Julie has worn hearing aids since she was 2 and learned to talk as she was dealing with a rapidly progressive hearing loss. Within just 4 years she was a candidate for a cochlear implant. She underwent the procedure in 2002 and really took off with it. You can see her terrific early results in the journal I kept online at HearingExchange here. We kept the other ear stimulated by having her continue wearing her hearing aid and by doing auditory training with just that ear even as it got worse. Her hearing continued to deteriorate and in December 2006 Julie received a cochlear implant in her second ear at NYU’s Cochlear Implant Center. After a typical 3 week healing process, her new implant was activated on January 4th. Two weeks later we went back to her speech pathologist who works on auditory training and rehabilitation with her. Julie was tested on both closed and open sets of words. (Words she knew in advance and words she didn’t.) With her new implant on
