About the Month of October. October is the 10th month of the year and has 31 days. Season (Northern Hemisphere): Autumn. Holidays. Yom Kippur. Columbus Day. Child Health Day.
MYTH: At age 12 and older, children can determine which parent they wish to live with, during a contested Florida custody case. TRUTH: Only at age 18 can an individual choose where or with whom he or she lives. While the Florida courts do consider the childâs wishes, they are absolutely not determinative.
So how do parents determine if a child is âold enoughâ to be unsupervised at a pool or beach? Broward County in Florida is on the cutting edge of water safety and they recommend a minimum age of 12, though some experts believe it should be even higher.
