    Anybody else have to deal with this?

    They have every reason to worry. You are quite young and even though you are being practical by counseling and planning, you need to wait. That is the feeling I got when I read your post and I don't even know you. Read over some more of the posts on this site. Seriously. Find out what other...

    Crib Tents

    I imagine that would be funny to you. The cosleeping sounds like an option. I have a few questions for you... Do you go to sleep at the same time as your child? What about naptime? Do they stay in your bed? At what age do you feel appropriate to end the cosleeping arrangement? Also...

    Crib Tents

    Thank you all for your advice. Because she is now trying to climb out of the playpen also, what do you'all do when you need to take care of something and don't want your baby getting into a situation. For instance, showering or needing to take a phone call that will take more than a few...

    Toddler Supplements?

    Hi Evangelina, We live in the USA. My two-year-old daughter's Pediatrician recommended that perhaps she take a multi-vitamin supplement. I'm looking for something purely Vegan, but, have only come across vitamins with A from fish oil and D from Sheep cholesterol. We are Lacto (and...

    How would you handle this?

    Hi again. This is really on my heart. It's obvious that your daughter would probably have more influence over this acquaintance than the opposite. Perhaps she wouldn't mind inviting her to a youth group activity at church or even for dinner one night. Anyway, I think this girl asked...

    How would you handle this?

    Hi Hiskid4ever, Wow, I can only imagine your shock over this whole situation. First of all, I'd very calmly go over your own beliefs with her again. Tell her you are very concerned about her friend because God doesn't want anyone, whether fourteen or fifty years old, to have sexual...

    Toddler Supplements?

    Hi, Does anyone know of a Vegetarian Vitamin supplement for toddlers? Preferably in liquid form or easily chewable tablets. I bought Pedia Vites from Michael's Health only to find out the Vitamin A is derived from fish oil. Yuck! Also need the Vitamin D to be "Ergo" if possible. Thank you :)

    Crib Tents

    Has anyone used a crib tent or play yard tent? My two-year-old is starting to climb out of her crib. We are very hesitant to put her in a toddler bed with rails as she will have easy access to everything. She's very active.

    Are there any Vegetarian parents here? I'm looking for a good liquid or easily chewable vitamin supplement for my two-year-old. Any ideas?

    Sleep advice

    Try a sound machine. They sell them at Walmart. It has waterfall, running stream and other various sounds. It creates a constant "white noise" so to speak. It really soothes our little one and kind of drowns out other noises that may otherwise disturb her sleep. You might also try giving...

    When you get proof that you've made the right decision.

    That is a great story. And as far as the school bus situation goes, I agree. I have heard and have bus stories from my own childhood that would make most Mothers want to personally drive their children themselves. In addition, around here there is a seat belt law for most vehicles, yet, no...

    If you don't celebrate Halloween?

    Good point. Um, 4th of July and Labor Day didn't originate with the Druids.

    If you don't celebrate Halloween?

    This is interesting to read all your responses because I really don't want to celebrate it. I think it can be scary for young children. Not just some of the costumes, but, the threat of tainted treats. I guess it's origin is "All Hallow's Day" the day before "All Saints Day". Link below...

    can't keep his diapers on

    I know. My little went through the same thing. Try a onesie (including a site link for bigger sized onesies. the sleeveless ones are super). Put a lighter weight thermal pant under the onesie and a pull-on (disposable toliet training underpant) over the diaper. Layer, layer, layer. And...

    Gay children's characters.

    No, I haven't read the books. Did you read the original post for this thread? I think the author made her intent clear in the news this weekend.

    Gay children's characters.

    I think the author, knowing that young children are reading these books, knew exactly what she was doing by trying to make "gay" okay. It's just like a predator to suck young children into their belief system. If "A" is okay, then "B" must be also be okay. The Bible clearly states that...

    Spanking debate...heh

    I think it's always good to look at alternatives to spanking. With the laws changing regarding when, where, at what age you may spank your child, it makes sense to try out some different methods of discipline. It is true that there are many good disciplining techniques out there that perhaps...
