| Article Title :: Yikes! My Child WON’T Share! What Do I Do? |
| |
| Years ago my husband and I attended a parenting
class and one thing that stands out in my mind from
that course was something very simplistic that the
trainer said. He asked the question, "If your kid
doesn't like broccoli, what should you do?"I thought for a minute while he paused and the first
thought that came to me was, do my kids even like
broccoli? Hmmmmm.Then in a loud voice the trainer enthusiastically
said, "You should feed him MORE broccoli, that's what!"
The reason this lesson stands out in my mind so clearly
years later is because I have used it over and over in
making my parenting decisions. I have gone back and
pondered it again and again. Why? Th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: My RAD Child |
| |
| When I say RAD you may think of a child that is far beyond the normal. Well, mine is in a way. You see, in this case RAD stands for Reactive Attachment Disorder. If you haven't heard of this condition before, you're not alone!What is RAD? It occurs whenever a child's basic physical and emotional needs are neglected during infancy. This results in the child developing a resistance to social interaction, their seeking of isolation, their being difficult to comfort, and their avoiding physical contact, especially from the caregiver.While RAD may sound like PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), they are different from each other. Usually PTSD is a "starting point" for a c (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Choose The Perfect Baby Shower Gift |
| |
| The first thing you should do when trying to choose the perfect baby shower gift is consider the parents. Quite frankly, babies do not have the awareness or the ability to complain when you buy them weird stuff. But their parents do. A great baby shower gift is something the baby’s parents will think is cute, funny, entertaining, or practical, and if you care about that sort of thing, something the other guests will think is neat.Baby Shower Gift Don’ts:1. Don’t give stuffed animals as a shower gift. The parents will probably have already chosen one or two special “stuffies.” Too many plush toys gather dust and take up space.2. Don’t try to outdo the other (read full article) |
