Teaching Your Child The Difference From Right And Wrong

Michelle Vermillion Lawrence
As I am standing in the check out line, I feel my 3 year old tugging on my leg, “Can I get it mom, can I, please, PLEASE!”
Without even looking to see yet another of his hearts’ desire I say, “No.”
His begging continues as I pay for our cards and finish our transaction.   I tell my son its time to go and start walking towards the door. My ingenious child walks slowly around taunting, “I was just trickin’ ya mom”, his way of letting me know he is pulling a fast one on me.

Overcoming Sleep Disorders In Toddlers

Does you toddler every so often wake you up on the middle of the night and want to sleep with you? This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing. A child coming to the parents’ room is actually a great signal that your toddler is processing what makes him or her more able to sleep. It can show great initiative and problem solving skills as he or she finds that the first scenario is not working and trys another method to get them to sleep. From there, you can help teach your toddler and encourage him or her to advance on this methodology and begin processing other ways to help get past the sleep problems in toddlers. Maybe making sure their favorite Teddy Bear is always in their room to watch over them?

The Importance Of Teaching Responsibility and Trust

I just finished reading a very enlightening article that Dr. Neill Neill wrote entitled Help Your Kids Grow, and Then Let Them Go. What I got out of this is the importance of letting your children make their own mistakes and don’t fall into the trap of trying to protect them and gain control as they get older. They will natually rebel. Ideally as our children grow we should grow with them our relationships needs to become more supportive and encouraging. This can be very hard.

Acid Reflux in Kids - Symptoms and Options

Studies reveal that Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER), generally called Acid Reflux, is common among children of varying age groups, though acid reflux in children, especially in infants, may be overlooked easily. An estimated 7,000,000 children in the US currently suffer from GER. Children’s immature digestive systems are easy victims to acid reflux and as they grow up (up to one or two years of age), most children naturally come out of the problem. In case the child’s complaints continue, treatment by a pediatrician will be in need.

Religion And Your Child - Keeping The Faith

By Michelle Donaghey

Every week whether it is a Sunday, Wednesday or another day set aside for religious services, parents everywhere often hear those words after telling their children to get ready for mass, service, temple or synagogue.
It doesn’t matter what your faith is or what your religious upbringing may have been like. Whether you are Catholic, Protestant, Muslim or Jewish, every parent takes on the responsibility of helping a child or children in their faith journey which often is met with resistance.

Putting Together A Parenting Plan

You Don’t Have to Get a Divorce to Have a Parenting Plan

Most states require divorcing couples who have dependent children to come up with a parenting plan. The plan lays out when the kids are with each parent and who is responsible for what. The court has to approve the plan to make sure it is in the best interest of the children. However, you don’t have to be divorced to draw up a parenting plan. Parents with more than one child will find a plan very helpful in managing their time, and in consistancy between both parents. Read More

Should Your Marriage Be Boring?

I wanted to do a quick post on a great article I found by Dr. Neill On Keeping your Marriage Boring. Everyone wants an exciting marriage right? Excitement is fine as long as it is within certain boundaries, or rules. Dr. Neill defines those rules as "fidelity, honesty, openness, respect, caring and support". His article really hit home. A marriage can really fall apart if there is not a certain amount of predictability in it.
