Question of the Day: What do you do when boys act like ... boys?
May 17, 2010 15:17 by
Amy Vernon
Boys will be boys, they say. And let's face it - boys generally are a bit more physical than girls and more boisterous (with exceptions, always). But how do you keep the flame of competitiveness burning while ensuring their baser nature doesn't get them pushing other children in school?...

Who do you put first... your spouse or your children?
April 12, 2010 13:01 by
Donna Chaffins
Many experts say you should put your spouse before your children. The theory, I believe is that, your kids will one day grow-up and leave and then you're left with your spouse... and if you've put them in the backseat for years, it may be difficult to be a couple again. ...

How do you break habits or idiosyncrasies in children? Or... should you?
April 7, 2010 11:06 by

Does your child suck his thumb? Or does your toddler still use a pacifier? Or, like my son... do they have weird eating habits? Cody, will not let foods touch, and eats one food at a time before going on to the next food. Well, he did. Easter Sunday, h...

As a mom - What is the most important thing you can teach your son?
March 26, 2010 00:05 by
Donna Chaffins
As a mom to a boy, I try to teach him things that will help him grow up and be a responsible, honest, loving, good man. As a woman, I think it would be, in some ways, easier to know what to teach a daughter... but a son, well, I don't know if I'm teaching him everything I sho...

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?
January 29, 2010 00:05 by
Donna Chaffins
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?
November 11, 2009 21:31 by
Amy Vernon
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?
