PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PARENTING
You cannot be too loving. "It is simply not possible to spoil a child with love," Steinberg writes. "What we often think of as the product of spoiling a child is never the result of showing a child too much love. It is usually the consequence of giving a child things in place of love -- things like leniency, lowered expectations, or material possessions."

PRINCIPLE OF GOOD PARENTING
What you do matters . Whether it's your own health behaviors or the way you treat other people, your children are learning from what you do. "This is one of the most important principles," Steinberg explains. "What you do makes a difference...Don't just react on the spur of the moment. Ask yourself, What do I want to accomplish, and is this likely to produce that result?"

LOVE HORMONE AND AUTISM. Oxytocin, one of the hormones responsible for triggering feelings of love in the brain, has shown some benefits to helping control repetitive behaviors in those with autism.

BRAIN FUNCTION
HIGHEST TEMPERATURE. The next time you get a fever, keep in mind that the highest human body temperature ever recorded was 115.7 degrees–and the man survived.
STRESS. Excessive stress has shown to "alter brain cells, brain structure and brain function."

BRAIN FUNCTION
10%. The old adage of humans only using 10% of their brain is not true. Every part of the brain has a known function.
BRAIN DEATH. The brain can live for 4 to 6 minutes without oxygen, and then it begins to die. No oxygen for 5 to 10 minutes will result in permanent brain damage.

BRAIN FUNCTION
YAWN. It is thought that a yawn works to send more oxygen to the brain, therefore working to cool it down and wake it up.
NEOCORTEX. The neocortex makes up about 76% of the human brain and is responsible for language and consciousness. The human neocortex is much larger than in animals.

BRAIN FUNCTION
UNCONSCIOUSNESS. If your brain loses blood for 8 to 10 seconds, you will lose consciousness.
SPEED. Information can be processed as slowly as 0.5 meters/sec or as fast as 120 meters/sec (about 268 miles/hr).
WATTAGE. While awake, your brain generates between 10 and 23 watts of power–or enough energy to power a light bulb.

BRAIN FUNCTION
From the invisible workings of the brain to more visible responses such as yawns or intelligence, find out how the brain functions with these facts and more still to come.
OXYGEN. Your brain uses 20% of the total oxygen in your body.
BLOOD. As with oxygen, your brain uses 20% of the blood circulating in your body.
