Baby Monitor Hacking - Keeping control of your nursery technology

We keep hearing more cases about baby monitors being hacked by predators and it’s certainly a very scary and creepy thing.  The most recent case in the news was in Cincinnati, Ohio where parents heard a male voice coming over the monitor screaming at their child trying to wake her up.  Last fall in Huston, Texas a couple heard a male voice screaming at their daughter by name over the monitor.  The child’s name was spelled out over the crib on the wall.  Obscenities were used in both cases. The monitor, which is supposed to follow movement in the room, was panning the room being controlled by the hacker. Parents say if the intruder hadn’t spoken at all they would have never known he was watching and it could have been going on for a while. 

                                  

Parents in both cases immediately unplugged the monitor, which is certainly your first inclination however, powering off  the camera wipes it’s log of IP addresses and therefore any evidence that police had to go on to find out who these people are.  As you can imagine, both families felt very violated and horrified.

Police are not certain whether this could be the same person or a copycat but the monitors in both cases were the brand Foscam (one of which is shown above).  The company had released a firmware update for the camera fixing the problem however people who bought the item through a reseller may not get/be aware of the updates.

Experts say any digital video device that is monitored wirelessly, whether by cell phone, hand-held receiver, TV, tablet or PC, is vulnerable to hackers.   Some newer models of monitors have technology that jumps from frequency to frequency, making them more secure, while older ones do not.  Most newer models also have password capability which is definitely a must.  (Incidentally, anyone with the old analog type of monitors need not worry)

To keep your family as safe as possible, follow these rules:

1.       Enable and use the password capability on the monitor using strong passwords

2.       Use a different password for the monitor than you use for the Wi-Fi

3.       Change the manufacture default settings on both monitor and Wi-Fi

4.       Check with the manufacturer website for current updates frequently

5.     Be aware and pay attention to the monitors movements

Technology is a wonderful thing in this day and age but never let your guard down to keep your family safe.  These two families have decided to go “unplugged”.

Chores. Do they or don't they help out around the house?

Some of you may have seen this chart floating around on the internet recently sparking some talk on the mommy blogs and parenting websites about the topic of having kids do chores.  Should we or shouldn’t we, why and what is appropriate/beneficial to the child or household.

Lots of comments both ways but I find the ones in the “against” column fascinating…. In a train wreck sort-of way.   

A few days ago a Babble blogger wrote an article against having children do chores because (and I’m paraphrasing here) it’s just easier to clean the house myself because the kids don’t do a good job.

Wow, did you hear that?  Really? She didn’t even have to duck, right over her head! TOTALLY not the point of having children do chores….and there were lots of comments, believe me. (If you want to read it for yourself: http://tinyurl.com/ktr2ofn  )

My point is, I think that it is actually harmful to the learning process if you don’t have the kids do some chores. While I don’t agree with this particular chart (outdated and it has the child drying dishes, watering the plants and making beds before they can replace a toilet paper roll…what?),  there is nothing wrong with giving your kids things they need to do around the house which teaches them that the family is a team effort and  that everybody contributes plus they begin to learn responsibility, accomplishment, self-pride and that Mom is not their maid.  Is it really horrible to teach your kids to pick up their toys, appreciate them and learn to take care of them?  Is helping to cook and clean in the kitchen ridiculous?  They’re gonna need it as an adult. Will it hurt them to gather their clothes for the laundry or help Dad put tools away in the garage? 

If you start early, you may be able to avoid the kind of narcissistic children who grow up to be the lazy teens and young adults with that never ending sense of entitlement. 

So, should you make the kids do everything and become your personal slaves, of course not!  Age appropriate duties to contribute to your family? …Yes.  Each child is different... but you know what your kids are capable of and what’s important in your family. When they’re little, will they make a bigger mess trying to help? Certainly, but it’s all a learning experience, they’ll get it…..Will they complain about chores as they get older? Absolutely!... And that too is a right of passage.

DJ Babes-a-Lot in the House

Have you heard about the new cool thing in Brooklyn for the 3 year old set? It’s a music mixing school allowing kids 1-3 yrs to try their hand at mixing electronic music, basically being their own DJ.

Sounds crazy right?  But it’s getting a lot of buzz. The class turns the kids loose on actual beat-mixing equipment. During the classes they learn to mix separate tracks to make their own music. The idea behind this is that very young children benefit from interaction with other kids and parents by developing their fine motor skills while being creative and appreciating music.  Some kids fine it very stimulating while others don’t take to it as well.

Baby DJ School, located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, is the brainchild of seasoned DJ Natalie Weiss who is the founder and instructor. Her course is 8 sessions, each 45 minutes, for $200.  She hopes to take her classes nationwide.

There are the neigh sayers though. Some Brooklyn residents have said they think this is just another thing to do to try to seem hip saying, ” It’s cool because you can afford to pay $200 for it”.

The kids just like that they can touch the pads, sliders and knobs without hearing “No No”.    

For more information on these classes visit: http://redtri.com/new-york/baby-dj-school

 

 

If the price tag is a bit steep for you or you’re nowhere near Brooklyn, here’s a tip: There’s an app for the iphone/ipad called “Baby DJ” to get you started.

What do you think about this idea?  Ridiculous or ingenious?  Beneficial or attempt at status building?

At the Pool (or WTH?)

Now, I’m not the most prude person out there, but this weekend, as we’re lying out in the sun, at a public pool, I saw something I couldn’t believe. There were families enjoying the weekend, hanging by the pool, mom and dads, lots of kids and people in general.  What disturbed me was the child who looked to be 5 or 6 yrs old (girl) whose mom removed her bikini top and who spent the entire day walking around with no top on. I can see doing this with a toddler, say 2 yrs,  but certainly not a child as old as 5 or 6.

It’s not just about weirdos,  though they are out there. I feel there’s a need to teach your daughters that this is not acceptable once they are old enough to understand the concept.

This mom made sure there were towels for the child, she diligently put sunscreen on her and we even had our sunglasses…but somehow, no top was fine!?!  Do some people need help understanding appropriate? 

To add another dimension:  Does it matter if they were clearly German and may have different cultural ideas?

I clearly don’t agree with this but how do you feel about it?  Up to what age do you feel topless is OK with your daughters?

Tough Topics and keeping it Real

Sesame Street has never shied away from tough topics and now they are tackling the topic of a parent being incarcerated.  This is coming with some raised eyebrows and of course, some differences of opinion on whether this is appropriate for the age demographic of Sesame Street viewers.

On the one side, you’ll have the people that don’t or somehow can’t, talk to their kids about the parent, aunt/uncle/family member that is in jail and deal with that child’s feelings and worries. They appreciate and rely on show’s like this to help their children deal with and realize that this happens in some families and that they are not alone. They consider this a fact of life and approve of Sesame Street bringing this topic into the light and keeping it “real”.

The opposing consensus is that people need to deal with their family issues in their own homes. Talk to their children if this happens in their family and deal with it themselves rather than expecting a children’s show to teach their kids for them. This is not a fact of life in most families. Those against this type of programming would rather not have their kids watching and asking questions about topics they’d like to shelter their children from until they are older.

If you'd like to watch the video, it's here.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk3SxyPW6lA 

Sesame Street has dealt with many other topics like death, bullying, academic success and divorce. What do you think?  Is the topic of incarceration something you want your children watching and asking questions about at very young ages?

Election 2012 - Wicked Cool Baby Style

Now that the election is over, we can go back to life without all the political ads. Whether you’re Republican or Democrat, the months leading up to Nov 6 are taxing on everyone (pun intended). Even though the littlest “constituents” don’t really know what’s going on and they won’t be able to vote for years, judging from their little faces, they were OVER it!


Incidentally, the practice of “baby kissing” is believed to have started back in the time of Andrew Jackson and has survived, even flourished, through elections as a time honored way to get out the vote and gain public (women’s especially) support trying to get out a positive image. Today, it’s almost a superstition although there’s no case as to whether it helps or hinders.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis act out this humorous version of the cliché in this scene from a recent movie “The Campaign”, http://youtu.be/QKbziodzimo

As for Obama and Romney, they were both reported as being fairly ill-at-ease while holding infants and likely to hand the child back like “a grenade with the pin pulled out”.

So how about you? Does kissing babies make the candidates any more appealing or charismatic to you?

Cursing children and F bombs

Just when you think they’re not paying any attention to what you’re doing or saying, playing quietly in the floor facing the wall, beware! Oh, they hear you, believe me, and they will bring that curse word back to life when its utterance will be the most embarrassing for you!


Scene: Four men standing in the garage, each holding an ice cold beer. The man that caught the winning fish of the day regaling his buddies with the “Fish story” of how, when and where he snagged this beauty. Several children and grandchildren riding trikes in the driveway and the 3+ yr old comes running into the kitchen where all us gals (family and neighbors) are chatting and yells, “Gramma, Gramma, Come look at the big f**king fish!” Grandma and the neighbor ladies suck in a deep breath as the cousins all bust up laughing.

Now, this is immediately a mixed message for the child (some laughing and some appalled) and while you have to admit, there’s something inherently funny about a very small child using a very adult word, it’s a teachable moment that you cannot pass up. Whether you are a never-ever kinda parent or the more lenient only-in-certain-circumstances type, a discussion is warranted.

Try not to react one way or another because that’s usually what the child is looking for, a reaction…but don’t ignore the situation. Pulling out a video camera is not the way to go if you’re trying to curtail the cussing but sometimes it’s a surprise:

Young children, up to 5 or so, most likely don’t know what the words mean so you can keep it simple and just tell them not to say it. Talk to them and give them an alternative word they can use to express what they are trying to say. With older children who can think more abstractly, you may want to further explain why they cannot use a particular word. Don’t go ballistic on them. Keep your sense of humor and move on. Remind those around the kids to check themselves.

Oh, and when your 5 yr old says, ”But I heard you/Daddy say it!”, you might want to have a response all ready… :)

Bento Madness

 WTH is this trend where the “cool” mommies feel obligated to stand in the kitchen, early in the morning, and cut up little pieces of cheese, fruits and veggies to resemble some robot or animal or spell something or any other assortment of edible art? Then, place it in a container with sections, each having its own little healthy theme, and send it off to school. The idea being, to make their kids a lunch that is impressive to look at and will hopefully entice their child to eat healthy foods they may not necessarily like.

Wow, score another one for the overachieving mommies! Who has time for this? I mean, for a special occasion or once in awhile thing maybe, but on a regular basis? Do you get to looking at these masterpieces and start to feel as though, if you’re not doing this for your kids, you are failing them somehow? Don’t get duped into believing that you’re not up to par if you can’t keep up with this trend.

Yes these are adorable, but most likely, your child won’t eat it just because it looks cool. If they don’t like the food, it may get played with but will stay in its little section of the bento box, turning brown or smashed and looking sad.

I realize that things are more forward thinking and kids are savvier today than when I was a kid but my mom made the best ham and cheese or PBJ’s in the world and they went great with a bag of chips and a few carrot sticks…maybe an apple. She made us eat our veggies at dinner with a well rounded meal and we got all the nutrients we needed.

Since when are mom’s expected to add artistically beautiful lunches to the number of things that they are supposed to do to make everything “special” for their kids. You don’t have to aspire to be the culinary whiz. Not every aspect of your kids lives have to be extraordinary for you to be listed in the “Great Mom” category.

Yes, pack a healthy lunch. Pack a lunch your child will eat. Pack a little treat but most of all, pack them with love.

Coloring Your Kids World?

Just in time for the 11th anniversary of the 9-11 tragedy a US publisher has a new book for your kids. Wow, is it just me or isn’t this a colossally bad idea? A 9-11 coloring book? Really! They try to make it seem a little better by saying it’s got a PG-13 rating……but that doesn’t help. The 13 year olds I know don’t color with crayons anymore. We all know it’s the smaller children who do. They are touting this book as a “teaching tool”. Is this how you want to tell you kids about evil people doing evil things, putting in full graphic detail, crash sites and the face of Saddam to color?


To make matters worse, get this, the book includes terrorists trading cards for your kids to share and trade! How lovely. The publisher says it’s to “name and shame” them. Granted this isn’t the first time terrorists trading cards have made print. It was a bad idea then and still is now. And, exactly, how are trading cards shaming them?

The publisher, Wayne Bell, of St. Louis-based Big Coloring Books, Inc., says, "We don't take a position on the books we publish. We publish books based on readership”, he adds. "We publish books that readers buy."  Read more…… http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/9-11-coloring-book-features-terrorist-trading-cards-204300629.html

So, it IS just about the money…….

Men in Distress, Crisis TV

A new TV show series on Lifetime aired their first episode yesterday, called “The Week the Women Went”. Did you watch this? It’s a reality type show where TV cameras descend on a whole town in South Carolina and tape what happens when they remove all the women over 18 yrs old and leave the men to fend for themselves and their children for 1 week.

Now, I’m not a huge reality fan and I don’t believe for a second that none of this program’s pandemonium is pre-planned but it is VERY entertaining none the less.

The men have to take care of everything from the toddlers beauty pageant and running their wives businesses to the everyday get-the-kids-fed-bathed-and-to-sleep that every mom deals with all the time. Some have babies, some are dealing with school aged children and some have teenagers giving them problems.

It’s funny to see expressions on the husband’s faces that can only come from dealing with unreasonable children and toddlers. They are fish out of water and many have the glazed over eyes already and we’re only into the first day! It promises to be a rollercoaster series indeed.

To see Lifetime’s official “The Week the Women Went” page;

On a side note: I was appalled to see one dad giving his 3 year old daughter coffee (simply because she asked) and mentions that they (parents) do this all the time and that she loves It! Stay tuned to the post, “Should I be giving my child coffee (or any other adult beverages)?”

Potty Parties: film at 11

What about these potty parties I keep hearing about? Do we really need to throw a party for a child who learns to control a bodily function? Potty parties are just another over-achieving mommy’s idea of an event that needs to be memorialized with a special party for their special child. Ridiculous!

People, as a parent you should celebrate this event with your child; hugs all around, maybe some candy and stickers, maybe even a cake, AT HOME, with the family. This is not and should not be a public event. We need to reel in this trend of having a party for EVERYTHING your child does and take a step back so they can have realistic expectations of life.

And now, as if the party thing isn’t enough, we have the I-really-must-post-this-for-the-world-to-see parents on social network/video sites! Yikes!

I realize this is a milestone in your child’s life but is it really public-video-YouTube-worthy? This has got to be worse than the party because at least the party is over at some point. I see this stuff and I am SOOO thankful that YouTube didn’t exist in my day!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhdyh6hSdgs

I feel bad for these kids because these videos of them pooping will NEVER go away, ever. The parents think they’re adorable but I’m wondering if the children featured are gonna love the idea of it when they’re older and say….dating? Shouldn’t these types of videos, if the parents MUST tape them, stay in the family vault somewhere?

How are you celebrating the potty training milestone at your house? Keeping it in the family or “going public”?

Caution: Children at Play

Recently, I visited a friend who lives in a suburb very close to mine who has a neighbor that recently started putting out these “Children at Play” signs in front of their house.

Only, said neighbor doesn’t place them on the grass or curb as depicted in the picture. They put one on each side of their property, smack dab in the middle of the street where cars have to literally drive around them, to allow their children to play IN the street, creating what they think is a “play zone” for their kids. I don’t think I have to tell you what a bad idea this is…..or do I?

This neighbor apparently believes this sign will take care of any problems pertaining to their children playing in the street in front of their house, including reducing speeds and preventing accidents. On several occasions, going by this location, there were no parents in sight. “Children at Play” signs give parents and kids a false sense of security, as the sign is assumed to provide protection, when in fact, motorists pay little attention to them.

Manufacturer’s of these signs use parental fear as a selling point saying “Notifying drivers that there are children at play may reduce your child’s risk” These type of “advisory signs” have been proven neither to change driver behavior, nor do anything to improve the safety of children in a traffic setting. What’s more, these types of signs are not sanctioned by the State or Federal Traffic Administrations and in addition, placing them or any other signage blocking a city street is against City Ordinance Codes.

Look, children should not be allowed or encouraged to play in or near the street. Federal standards reject these signs because they openly suggest that playing in the street is acceptable. More importantly, parents should be teaching their children the dangers of playing in or near roadways and strongly discouraging them from doing so, not trying to block off streets areas for them to play in. I realize that some parents are going to err on the side of “It can’t hurt” to place the signs out there, but as I stand and watch 4 and 5 year olds riding trikes in circles between the two “safety” signs without paying any attention to the cars approaching, I think “This can’t end well” while silently hoping it does.

Top Ten Things you Give Up when you're a Parent

10. Free Time - Remember all those hours spent on your hobby?   What hobby?
9. Caring what other people think - Don't need stranger's opinion of whether your child should be wearing a hat or not or what you're feeding them!
8. Vanity - Still wear makeup to the store and gas station? Sweats anyone?
7. Being Less Careful - It was OK for you to ride in the back of Grandpa's pickup growing up but now your children wear helmets for everything!
6. Control over your own home - Where you leave things, safety proof everything, and those glass tables and artsy things are long gone.
5. Peace of Mind - No matter what, you will now worry about everything relating to your kids forever.
4. Sleeping In - Sleep Deprivation is the number one...ca...use...of.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
3. Disposable Income - There's always something you need to get or provide for your little ones!
2. Following a Schedule - No matter how hard you try, the only schedule that now matters is the one your child is on....
AND, the number one thing you give up when you're a parent is:

1. Bathroom Time Alone - Your personal Space in now their personal space.  It's futile to hide in there, they will find you!

Celebrity Parent Watching

Why are we so obsessed with what celeb parents are doing? Are we absolutely sure they are doing cool stuff we don’t know about? (in some cases they are) Do you wonder what kind of father Barry Williams is or Bruce Willis? Do you care that Rachel Dratch (SNL), Jewel and Pink had their babies and Tori Spelling had hers but is pregnant again? Hey did you see what Alyssa Milano wore to her baby shower?

Just in case you haven’t heard (not likely) Jessica Simpson, Tori Spelling, Nick Lachey, Kourtney Kardashian and Reese Witherspoon are all PG and it’s rumored that Drew Barrymore is too.

We do have a weird urge to peek into their lives in a voyeuristic way but it feels safe to gawk at the note worthy and sometimes strange behavior of celebs having babies and raising children.

I think we just want to know that they go through the same stuff and worry about the same things we do when junior comes along. We wonder if they have access to more answers or something because of who they are. We look for their human side and compare well…..everything. We secretly think/know we’re doing a better job with our children or we just want to see what we have in common and with whom.

Actually, we may have to admit in some ways they (celebs) have it harder because they are almost constantly in the glass eye focus of someone’s camera, ready at a moment’s notice to take the most un-flattering picture possible. I mean, what would the camera catch if it followed you everyday? Strained peas flung on the ceiling….and in your hair? A poop episode so “explosive” that it literally covered and oozed forth from the new hybrid reusable diapees you’re trying?

So let’s give the celebs some slack but keep watching, it is an interesting show. After all, they have to go through the pregnancy and less-than-glamorous labor, just like everyone else……they do, right?

Baby’s Got Studs

Is it OK to pierce an infants ears or should we wait until the child can say for themselves. Interestingly enough, this question raised eyebrows and quite a few nasty comments on one of the New York Times blogs the other day. Although this is sometimes a moral thing and sometimes a cultural thing, many people have different opinions on the ideas of poking a (semi)permanent hole in a baby’s ear.

Many were rather snipe-y and pissy and some downright rude. There were even words used like “Mutilation” and phrases like forced “cosmetic alteration”. People actually compared it to circumcising a boy.

Wow, all this judgment over a tiny hole. We’re not talking about tattoos or enhancement surgeries. If you’d like to read the article, find it here,

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/15/babys-first-bling/

I know people who pierced their daughter’s ears at 3 mos. and gals whose parents made them wait until they were teenagers (myself included). I really don’t think either way, it shapes the girl’s life. The bottom line for me is that it’s each parent’s and each family’s decision. It’s up to them as to how they raise their girls and what earring decisions they make. It may not be your ideal but we’re in America, remember...many cultures and all that.

I know you have an opinion….what do you think? To pierce or not to pierce, that is the question…

Screaming Meanies

As my husband and I are sitting down to a nice meal in a not-too-cheap Cantonese and Sushi restaurant recently (looking forward to a quiet dinner), I am guilty of the oh-no-eye-roll as the hostess seats the booth next to us with two parents and three children under the age of 4. I do this because I suspect what will happen to my quiet dinner. I wasn’t wrong.


Now, I’ve heard talk here and there on the web that small children should be banned from restaurants and I do not agree. Families have a right to eat out just as anyone else. That being said, I also think that other patrons of the restaurant have a right to a dinner sans children screaming, crying or in our case, banging a spoon on the table for nearly 40 minutes.

I love kids, don’t get me wrong, but what I don’t love is parents that do absolutely nothing to quiet, comfort or remove their screaming children (or perhaps just take the spoon away). Kids will be kids and parents, well, you had the kids and it’s your job to teach them how to behave in a public restaurant. Becoming a parent involves sacrifices, not mine, yours. Common courtesy should be the words of the day….and before you tell me that I have forgotten that I was a child once too, I will tell you that I certainly was never allowed to act out in a restaurant (or any public place), throw food, run around between the tables, scream or throw a tantrum. I do remember being a child; I spent some time being escorted outside until I could calm down before going back to my seat.

We all know it’s hard, hell impossible sometimes to keep all the children cool and calm. We get it, just asking for some actual parenting. If it at least looks like you’re trying, I’m good. Oh and maybe you replace the banging spoon with a breadstick or something?

Kids Say the Darndest Things - Embarrassing moments for Moms

Kids say the darndest things and often it's embarrassing and surprising, some more than others.  Funny story:  Back in a former life, when I was doing something else for a living, I had a client who had dropped by school to pick up her 5 yr old before coming to see me. Once in the office, as we were talking, she casually asked her daughter what she had learned in school that day to which the 5 yr old excitedly replied, "I learned the F word today!".

I thought this woman was going to have a coronary; she almost fell off the chair.  She was able to compose herself long enough to ask her daughter what, in fact, the F word was.  The 5 yr old half covered her mouth, and giggling replied, "Fart", hee hee hee! The relief that washed over this woman's face was comical....but only if it's not your kid...right?

Young children have little impulse control and have not cultivated empathy for other's feeling yet so things just fly out of their mouths. Babble child development suggests, if they're saying something about someone loudly it's best to get down on their level and tell them quietly "You are right." and tell them you'll talk about it when you leave. 

If they are cursing, don't place too much attention on the particular word and try and distract them to another topic until later when you can talk to them and tell them that is a word we don't use in our family. If they realize they're getting a reaction, they may just use it more often for attention. Just another challenging aspect of raising little darlings!

Whoop, whoop, whoop, Helicopter Parents

When did we (as a culture) decide to sterilize, over-dramatize and hover over every aspect of our children's environment?  It didn't happen overnight, it was a slow progress, starting in the 90's that eventually led us to the overprotecting and overinvesting moms and dads of today.

Fear of danger: We can kind of understand this although let's be rational. We're not talking about car seats, seat belts and bike helmets here; these are the rational side and we need these. We are speaking of parents who lobby to remove the jungle gyms from playgrounds and schools who have the kids "pretend to jump rope" instead of actually using real ropes because "some children are more uncoordinated than others".

Fear of failure: Again, not talking about helping your child with homework or coaching the little league. You know, the parents who insist that their elementary-school kids start working on college prep or produce a full blown campaign video for their 3rd graders run for class president. Every toy they own has to be educational. And what about the organized team program who insists that they tell the kids on the team who didn't win the game, that they didn't lose, they just came in second.

You really want your children to succeed? Learn when to leave them alone. Let them be creative, inventive and use their imaginations on their own. Let them try to problem solve for themselves. Take the knee-pads off your baby and let them play in the dirt sometimes. Too much hovering can produce anxious and unadventurous children. Keep them safe but dial down the irrational stuff....balance Daniel-san.

Macrobiotic cupcakes anyone?
