How To Reduce The Stress Of Parenting


As a parent, having patience all begins with your attitude. If you're a perfectionist, now is the time to get over it - and not until your kids are grown and out of the house will everything be sane, clean, and in order (at least not all at once). If you have the attitude that it's all going to be just fine and you can deal with it for about 18 years - you're ahead of the game.

Important Baby Items Every New Mommy & Daddy Will Need (Part 1)


Having a baby is no cheap endeavor. The first bit of good news is that you don't need everything all at once, so save taking a second mortgage for a later time (like when your kids go to college). The second bit of good news is that you really don't need everything that you see advertised on TV or in those parent-type magazines.

Important Baby Items Every New Mommy & Daddy Will Need (Part 2)


Changing tables

Changing tables are tables for changing - not anything a magician may demonstrate. They're like backless bookcases with a small holding pen for baby on top. Below you store the diapers and other changing paraphernalia. Fortunately, changing tables are getting bigger and better than ever. Where they used to be these wobbly, flimsy stands that swayed back and forth when you put your baby on top, they're now sturdy and truly handy. So if you stumble upon one of the old-time wobbly ones, keep looking.

Managing Your Child's Behavior Through Positive Reinforcement


Ever hear the term the "terrible-twos"? Who hasn't, right? Those poor two-year-olds have had a bad rap. It's not enough that they've spent the last two years learning to talk so they can yell right in the middle of any important situation you may be in: "Mommy, I went poop!" They've also learned to walk in front of cars in the parking lot, run from us at bedtime - and their manual dexterity is great. (They practice it all the time as they peel off all the labels on your canned goods.) Two year olds aren't really that bad. Kids at any age can seem difficult if they aren't managed the right way. They're out of control. .

Setting Aside More Time For Your Children


Families always seem to be busy. Parents' weekdays are filled with work, appointments, carpools, chores, errands, and volunteer projects. Weekends, rather than being relaxing, are times for shopping, driving to children's activities, laundry, household repairs, and paying bills.
