When my daughter had to start taking meds for her ADHD, I wasn't sure how she would do with swallowing pills. I had her practice with mini M&M's. They were very small and if she didn't get it down, she didn't have to worry about it dissolving and tasting horrible. She learned very quickly...

When my nephew was little, he would stick his two middle fingers on one hand in his mouth and his thumb on the other hand in his belly button. When he got older and my sister wanted to break him of the habit, she made sure he was wearing a onesie type shirt that made it impossible to get to his...

I grew up in Spanish Lake (North St. Louis County) and lived there until I was 26. Moved into my sister's condo in Hazelwood for 9 months, until I got married and then into the house my husband owned in St. Charles (Harvester area). Been in that house ever since. I can't imagine living in...

Don't forget about pork steaks and Gooey butter cake. Those are Missouri foods. Just ask someone that moved from another area if they heard of them before coming to Missouri.

When you are both on the same page and in God's will, you will have a peace about what church to attend. I am sure if it is His will for you to be a member of the IFB church, you will be accepted with open arms. Why expect it to be any other way. When God speaks, there is no doubt!!!

When I hear the word "denomination", I think in terms of the church I attend (or was raised in). Your "denomination" can change. Some are raised in one type of church, but change when they get married due to various reasons. So, as a child their denomination would have been, say Catholic, but...

I don't think you have to worry too much about the praise songs being too difficult for the 5 year olds. It is amazing how fast a kid that age can catch on to the words of a song if they hear it often enough. Just think how quick a preschooler can learn the words of The Alphabet Song (or the...

I have worked with 2 year olds for 10 years at our church's Parents Day Out program. I think you did the right thing by taking your son out of the store. The only thing I would suggest next time is that if your husband is with you, you let him carry your son out while you do the checking out...

My 12 (almost 13) year old daughter has the same problem. I have found that when she is around kids her age, she tends to act a little more maturely, but she is less mature than those her age. When she is at home, she slips back into a younger mode though. I ask her sisters, ages 15 & 16, to...

I have 3 teenage girls (16, 15 & 13). They all spend time on the internet, but since I had to get a new computer I have "conveniently" not installed AOL IM on the new one. They can go onto AOL and sign on, but they don't like not having all the features, so they don't use it. We have 3...

I am the mother of 3 teenage girls (16, 15 & 13). I think your rules are within reason. The only one that I wondered about was the sleeping over at a friends. I understand the concern and, of course, wouldn't recommend it be allowed at a friend's house if you haven't met the parents, but...

There is a series of books that have all kinds of songs that have hand motions, called "Piggyback Songs". If you look at your local library or do a search on Amazon, you will find several that would work for a childrens ministry. One is specifically titled, "Piggyback Songs of Praise". There...
