| Article Title :: You Lucky Dog You |

|
You lucky Dog you, that is until baby comes along. Is it
possible for pets and babies to co-exist in peace! From every
corner I received advice on how things will have to change with
our dog once the baby comes along. Everyone said there is no way
they can live together in the same house without baby getting
sick or worse still being bitten. How wrong they all were!
There is no doubt about it, you certainly need to take great
care when mixing pets with babies and you should definitely
never leave a baby or child alone with any animal. However, we
couldn't have got a better playmate for our little toddler. He
absolutely adores our little white powder puff.

| Article Title :: Potty Train Your Baby From Age 3 Weeks |
| |
|
A new mom will quickly learn when baby is telling her that he is
tired or hungry. Baby will also tell you when he is about to
soil his diaper - or 'eliminate' in the jargon. The signs are
usually a grunting and moving into a certain position. My son
used to get this far away look on his face and he would be very
noisy so that everyone around him knew what was on the way!
Many moms in America are now practicing 'elimination
communication' whereby they watch baby for signs that he is
ready to 'eliminate' and then dangle him over the toilet or a
potty. The technique does require virtually constant observation
of the baby but apparently baby soon learns the procedure and
knows that if he grunt (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Character Building by Designing Parents |
| |
|
Think carefully about what your child needs when you teach right
from wrong. Research reveals 92% of high school students say
they are satisfied with their own ethics and character, yet 1/4
admit stealing within the past year. (Josephson Institute of
Ethics)
You gave your child the gift of life. Give your child character
too. The method below offers you a Character Building Activity.
I remember counseling with an overworked mom who gave very
little time to her daughter. The police caught 10-year old
Jessica shoplifting not once but twice. Children who steal at an
early age may be filling a hole in their hearts - lack of time
with their parents. Find out how Jessica's mom used the 3- D

| Article Title :: Ooooh Scary!! |
| |
|
With Halloween just around the corner, why not consider doing
some ghoulish crafts with your children? One of my favorite
crafts to do with the kids is Halloween candle making. Your kids
will love it, and it is appropriate for any age group. You will
need the following supplies to get started:
1. A pillar candle.
2. Some "cut and carve" wax.
3. Some wax adhesive.
4. Halloween cookie cutters.
5. A shallow pan.
Heat your "cut and carve" wax, and pour it into the shallow pan.
Be sure that you fill the pan approximately 1/4 inch., and try
to ensure your pan is on a level surface. Allow the wax to cool,
but not until it has completely hardened.
After the wax has cooled somewhat, use your (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The John Wayne vs Apron String Approach to |
| |
|
My husband and I have different views on parenting.
He likes to recount a scene from an old John Wayne movie,
"Hondo", where a young boy doesn't know how to swim. Raised
solely by his mother who was never able to teach him, the boy
was afraid of the water. Hondo, in true John Wayne manner, picks
up the lad and flings him out in the middle of a pond. And guess
what? He swims. Had to. Or he would have drowned.
And that's been pretty much my husband's approach. His advice
for parents would be to just chuck the kid out into the middle
of the pond. Let him sink ...or swim. He's pretty much the same
way when it comes to managing child behavior. "Let reality be
the teacher", he'd advise. Learn f (read full article) |

old friend. Well, you've come to the right place! We all have
some idea what goes on at bachelor parties, but there are a few
things to consider if you are planning one.
You must think about your venue. Ideally, you are going to want

well. All in all, your venue might well be determined by the
activities you have planned.
Transportation to and from the venue is another thing to
consider. You want to be sure that none of the guests are go (read full article) |

As we sit glued to the television set listening to all the gory
details of yet another terrorist attack leaves us all in a state
of shock. We all feel sad. We all feel that enough is enough. We
