How do you encourage a shy child to be all they can be?
March 1, 2010 10:54 by
Donna Chaffins
As a mother to a somewhat shy child, I've always tried to do things that will help my son... come out of his shell. He isn't as shy as he use to be; and definitely not crippling shy. He will speak when spoken to and will participate if he feels confident. He has ...

What's the difference between a proud parent and a bragging parent?
February 19, 2010 18:56 by
Donna Chaffins
When I was younger we had a family acquaintance that would brag on his daughter (he also had a son, but only talked about his daughter). It got to the point that we dreaded seeing him because he would go on and on. So I always said I'd never be that kind of parent. Fas...

Do you get jealous when your kids prefer daddy over you?

Mommy's boy. That aptly described my lil' guy. We've always had a wonderful bond. However, lately he is becoming, dare I say it?... Daddy's boy. Don't get me wrong, he and I still have this special relationship; he's growing up, way too fast, and being aroun...

Are you an overprotective mom?
January 25, 2010 00:05 by
Donna Chaffins
In today's society it pays to be a bit overprotective. However, sometimes many of us can go overboard... and not let our children try things or experience life. I try to keep a balance with our son so that I don't smother him. So are you an overprotective mom (or...

Do you ever suffer from mommy guilt?
December 7, 2009 16:48 by
Donna Chaffins
I have come to terms with the fact, that I cannot do it all. I can't give 100% of myself to all aspects of my life at the same time. So I'm going to give "my best" (whatever that may be at the time) to all aspects of my life. With my family always being at the top of that...

Question of the Day: How do you decide when to keep your child home from school?

When they have a fever or are throwing up, it's easy to make the decision to keep your child out of school. But what about when he just has the sniffles? When do you make that decision?
Question of the Day: How do you dole out your Halloween candy?
November 2, 2009 14:16 by
Amy Vernon
Now that the holiday's over and you have piles and piles of candy in your house, Amy wonders how you dole all that candy out to your children. How much is too much? How little is being too stingy? Does your office have a candy drawer where you can take all the excess and get it away fro...

Question of the Day: What do you do when Mommy is sick?
October 23, 2009 21:08 by
Amy Vernon
OK, OK, Donna sort of addressed this point already. But only half of it. While it's a huge problem when both mother and child are ill, there's a whole different set of problems when mom's sick and the children are fine and as energetic as ever. I found that out this week when I was trying to get...

Question of the Day: How much do you help your children with homework?
October 9, 2009 11:38 by
Amy Vernon
I've previously discussed how Rafael is getting homework in kindergarten, but now comes the next issue: How much do you help your child with homework? Rafael likes to pretend he needs help when he doesn't. But I also need to be sure that I'm not over- or under-helping him. I go over the...

Do you let your kids play video games?
October 7, 2009 10:11 by
Donna Chaffins
In an age where computers and video games are mainstays, how do you feel about your children playing video games? If you do allow them to play video games, do you put a restriction on how much game play they can have in a da? We allow our son to play for 30 minutes a day, most days....
