What's Your Secret Weapon?
Every mom has an ace in her pocket. When all else fails, we all have a secret weapon we turn to for curing an uncooperative tot. For my daughter it was Elmo; anything and everything red and furry would usually stop her mid-tantrum and return a sweet smile to her face.
Popular Worries For Present-Day Mamas
We all know a worrywart mommy. While motherhood is the greatest gift of all, it often comes with a side dish of worry. The reasons for concern may change over the decades but there will always be reason to make mama fret or have restless nights.
Are We Generation Mom?
Are moms being spotlit more than before? Or are Gen X and Gen Y-ers, using their "with child status" to form Generation Mom?
Unlike most previous generations, many women spend a significant amount of time building their careers before venturing into the world of motherhood.
Do You Hold Family Meetings?
The family that eats together, stays together, right? While dinners often serve as a family meeting of sorts, some busy broods pencil in a separate meeting time in hopes of improving family communication, conflict resolution, and discussing other issues that may come up. The digital age of emailing, cell phones, and social networking has made it possible for many families to interact without coming face-to-face with one another.
Ever Left a Dirty Diaper For Someone Else to Change?
Parenting is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. When it comes to diapering, many parents use the rule, "He who smelt it, changes it," which usually has both sides equally elbow deep in soiled nappies. However, some sneaky (and tired) mamas and papas looking to score a break from diaper duty have admitted to leaving a stinky one for their counterpart to find and change.
10 Tips For Coping With a Distracted Nurser
While experts may agree that breastfeeding is one of the best things mothers can do for their babies, many moms admit it also happens to be quite challenging. Just as you and your baby get into the swing of things, he or she is probably noticing that there's more to life than just mommy. Though it may be a good sign of development, it can make nursing a chore.
Feeding Time Line For Baby's First Year
Feeding a baby is one of the most natural, yet complicated parts of being a new parent. Constant fears often lurk in mama's head: Is my baby hungry? Am I feeding her enough?
Will the Force Be With You?
Like many children, my mother enrolled me in piano lessons but when I openly admitted to disliking it, she let me quit. Same went for the clarinet and skiing, both of which I did for about one week. Now that I'm older I desperately wish I could play an instrument or stand on skis, but I do understand why my mom didn't push either on me.
Waste Less, Save More
Most children are wasteful little devils when it comes to meal and snack times. Parents throw out countless amounts of Cheerios, hot dog bits, leftover yogurt, and half sipped juice boxes. Tots are carefree so it's up to parents to incorporate food saving remedies into our family routines.
When the Boob Tube Gets Scary, Leave the Kids Alone
One might assume that a child would be less frightened watching something scary if he were in the company of his parents. Not so says a group of Finnish researchers. According to a new study published in the journal Child: Care, Health and Development, children are actually more afraid of the events on the screen when their folks are in their presence.
