If you’re like me, which is to say, addicted to Pinterest, then I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of the same recipes floating around. Certain recipes get pinned hundreds of thousands of times. But I want to know, do they actually work? Or is it …
I used to joke about being the “forgotten one.” Mostly because of this picture taken at my first Christmas. The focus of the picture was actually on my older sister opening her presents; however, there I was falling over in the background, “forgotten.”
I am not sure a parent could actually forget his or her child, especially mine, but apparently there is a possibility of favoritism. Favoritism meaning the parent shows a higher interest in one sibling above all the rest. How does this make the siblings feel?
To these siblings, as shown by the results of a recent study by Professor Alex Jensen, this favoritism in families can actually have an adverse effect on the children as they grow older. Effects including an increased drug and alcohol use as the children grow older. Jensen found that it isn’t actually that the parents would intentionally treat the children differently, but it is important what the children perceive.
There may have been times that I actually thought I was the “forgotten one” or second best compared to my sister. But the truth is that my parents and many others don’t really have favorites. How can they? We are all so different and unique that they will appreciate and acknowledge different things about each child. Parents should constantly be trying to find each child’s niche, or thing that the child excels at or enjoys, and then they should support the child in every way that they can.
One of the best ways to show support is finding the time for one on one informal interviews, or just time together. Building that bond is important and will help the child have the confidence and trust in the parent and the parent’s love for him or her. Each child will perceive a relationship how they want, but parents can try their best to make sure the child knows that they love them and that is what is important.

Earlier this year, I conducted a survey in Utah Valley that tested many individuals’ understanding of First-Aid. One of the most frequently missed questions was, “When performing CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation), how many chest compressions are done per minute?” After missing this question, the surveyees responses lead to the same statement… “I FORGOT!”
According to the American Red Cross, CPR licenses last for a total of two years until another course is required. The reasoning behind this limitation is in-part due to the normality of forgetting these skills, but as forgettable as they can be, it is important to renew CPR understanding — it could be the difference between life and death.
But fear not, Stance is here to help renew your CPR knowledge!
The Basics of CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation)
When attending adults in need of CPR:
AFTER CHECKING THE SCENE AND THE INJURED OR ILL PERSON:
GIVE 30 CHEST COMPRESSIONS
GIVE 2 RESCUE BREATHS
Note: If chest does not rise with rescue breaths, retilt the head and give another rescue breath. DO NOT STOP
Continue cycles of CPR. Do not stop CPR except in one of these situations:
WHAT TO DO NEXT
TIP: Person must be on firm, flat surface.
Minor Adjustments For Infant CPR:
During Chest Compressions, use two fingers (index and middle) instead of two hands. Push about 1 ½ inches deep. When performing rescue breaths make a complete seal over the infant’s mouth and nose. An infant must be on a firm, flat surface.
