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?...

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...

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 ...

Do you get jealous when your kids prefer daddy over you?
January 29, 2010 00:05 by

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...

Question of the Day: How do you entertain your children when you have to take them on business appointments?
January 28, 2010 09:21 by
Amy Vernon
Yes, that was a long title, but I couldn't figure how to shorten it. We had to take Markus with us to the bank the other day, and he was pretty good until the last 15 minutes or so. We made the mistake of thinking he'd be satisfied with the games I had on my iPhone. The best laid plans ...

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...

What do you do when you witness a public display of discipline - gone bad?
November 13, 2009 08:25 by
Donna Chaffins
I recently was shopping and before I get around to the next aisle, I hear a mother berating her child (the child called her mommy). She had such a mean and hateful sound to her voice, and she wasn't trying to be quiet about it. It was more than just the tone but the cru...

How would you react to a stranger spanking your child?
September 28, 2009 00:05 by
Donna Chaffins
My first reaction when I heard that a stranger spanked a child in a store was, 'what has this world come to?' Seriously... how messed up is that? Allegedly a woman shopping at a Salvation Army store in Cincinnati, Ohio, didn't like something a toddler said to her... she...

Question of the Day: How do you deal with those pesky, random half-days of school?
September 21, 2009 14:02 by
Amy Vernon
School districts seem to toss those random half-days of school at parents every now and again. Whether you work from the home or an office, those days can be difficult to schedule around. How do you handle them and how much planning does it take?
What is Your Parenting Pet Peeve?
August 31, 2009 00:05 by
Donna Chaffins
Do you have a parenting pet peeve? I'm not talking about the loud cell phone talker or the waiter or waitress that thinks because you're a woman you won't be paying the bill so she ignores you (yes this has happened to me several times), but 'parenting' pet peeves. Is moms that yell...
