Why Kids Learn Better When They Laugh
You have two choices. You could berate the kid for procrastinating and tell him if he doesn't eat the spinach he is going to bed early with no snack. Or you could explain the necessary benefits spinach offers by way of fiber, vitamin B-6, magnesium and phosphorous. Good luck with that.

My giant ovarian cyst the size of a watermelon – Laura ’ s story
The day I was told that I had a giant ovarian cyst I turned immediately to the internet for answers to the questions whizzing around my brain, but I quickly discovered that every story is a little bit different and finding answers quite difficult.
