Monday, May 25 marks International Missing Children's Day, a day to remember missing kids around the world and focus on preventing future disappearances.

Terry Smith is the Education and Volunteer Development Coordinator at Childfind Ontario.

She took your questions on child safety and keeping your kids safe.

An estimated 250 million people around the world have diabetes - and about a third of them don't even know it.

Perhaps you're showing some of the symptoms:

• You seem to be thirsty all the time.
• You're always tired.
• You can never get enough sleep.
• You've lost weight.
• You're urinating a lot more than you used to.

In March 2007, a Canadian study suggested that the disease was outpacing expectations and growing rapidly. Lorraine Lipscombe of the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto found that the percentage of people with diabetes in Ontario, and probably the rest of Canada, has jumped noticeably, affecting about one in every 11 adults, or 8.8 per cent of the population. By comparison, the disease affected just 5.2 per cent, or one in every 19, in 1995.

The study, published in the Lancet, suggests that rising obesity levels across Canada are contributing to the onset of the disease.

Are you a relatively new parent? You're past the getting up three times a night to feed the infant stage but not quite at the it's off to school with you phase.

The next few years will bring you a host of new challenges like:

• When do we start toilet training?
• How do we introduce new foods into the diet?
• How much sleep does my toddler need?
• How do we deal with this emerging personality?
• Do we really need to child-proof everything?
