Kids today are definitely technologically savvy. More than 80% of teens have cell phones, and nearly all of them are online in some form or fashion. But don't think just because they know how to use it that they're always smart about what they're doing online. Teens are still immature and impulsive, a fact which is obvious after studies found more than 20 percent of teens have sent racy photos by phone or online, and a more recent report found that more than half of kids on MySpace have mentioned drugs, alcohol, sex or violence on their pages. 

It's not just Miley Cyrus that's pushing the limits on what should be private, it's hitting close to home. Have your kids sent or received racy photos on their phones? Take our poll below to see what other parents are saying.

While questions have been raised about the validity of the study about MySpace, it still proves that kids are putting things out there in cyberspace that can have negative impacts both now and in their future, whether looked at by college recruiters, potential employers, or even the law.  Be sure to take time to talk with your kids about the Internet and all its benefits but also where they need to use caution. Check out KidsHealth.org for some good advice, and Webwise.org for interactive programs.

We all know there's almost no subject more touchy for mothers than breastfeeding. It can cause heated debates not only about whether or not to breastfeed, but also when and where it's appropriate. Breastfeeding "sit-ins" have happened before, where mothers will all come to a place that previously banned a woman breastfeeding her child to protest that it's only natural. Well, now the protest has hit the Internet, with millions of women getting involved in a protest against Facebook for deleting pictures of breastfeeding mothers. Facebook stands by its choices in the matter, but the debate is raging on and growing at a fast pace across the country. It's interesting that all this hit right as the online social network saw its highest traffic rate ever.

Thanks to the far-reaching aspects of Facebook, all of us probably know or know of someone who has joined the protest, "Hey Facebook, Breastfeeding is not Obscene." But are they really taking down the pictures because they consider them pornographic, or is it a way to protect its online members?

No matter what your thoughts are on the actual photos, the fact that so many women are willing to talk about and share their experiences breastfeeding is a help to many new mothers. It can be a very hard thing to do, and sometimes we feel totally alone in our struggles to make it work. For more help and support with breastfeeding, try some of these local support groups and organizations:

Peaceful Beginnings

John Travolta and Kelly Preston are having to deal publicly with one of the hardest things a parent could ever have to go through -- the death of a child. Their 16-year-old son Jett died on Dec. 27, from apparent trauma to the head after falling at their Bahama home. Along with the tragic news, other information is surfacing. It's been long known that Jett suffered from Kawasaki syndrome and grand mal seizures. Of course, we also know that Travolta is a vocal member of the Scientology movement, a religion which turns away from medical treatment. Which means that gossip is flying that Travolta had stopped giving his son Depakote, an anti-seizure medication, for religious reasons. While the Travolta's have steered clear of the media the past few days, their lawyers have made a statement making it clear that they medicated their son as needed, and only took him off the medication when it became ineffective.

Jett's death is bringing some attention to Kawasaki disease and Grand Mal seizures. But it's also raising the issue of what a parent's responsibility is to their kids when it comes to religion and medicine. Scientologists aren't the only group that refuse medical treatment due to religious beliefs. Christian Scientists also believe in prayer and faith healing over medical treatment, which has led to some high-profile cases of abuse, neglect and even murder.

It may seem like an issue that doesn't really hit close to home, especially if you don't belong to one of these cultures, but what about things we do on a daily life that affect our kids' health? Smoking, the food we put on the table, even what we decide to do about vaccines. Think about it a little bit, and you'll start to see the connections in your own life between your beliefs and how it affects your health and even your kids'.

The holidays are over, and we've all gained a little weight and resolved to eat more healthy in the new year. But that resolution is just as important for our kids as for us, and as parents, it's often our responsibility to make sure the kids get the options to eat healthy. Because we all know that when not-so-nutritious options are nearby they'll choose them, often with dire consequences.

So when you're starting your new year's diet, keep those little ones in mind too. WebMD is a great place to start, with the importance of healthy diets for kids and some ways to integrate nutritious habits into your busy lifestyle. And find out more about starting healthy eating habits young with our article this month on Toddlers at the Table.
