Do you think the kids should be beaten rather than punished?

coolcat123 @coolcat123 (4387) • India 17 Sep 09

many people beat their children in anger but afterwards feel sorry for what they have done.I think punishing a child is better than beating them bcoz after getting punished the child will not repeat the same mistake again. It...

mneff2003 No child should ever be beat. But there is a difference between beating and disciplined. A child will learn from being spanked and my children do learn from being spanked. Politics have taken so much control away from the parents that these children end up...

mneff2003 Children learn best from other children, does your children go to daycare or play with other children a lot? Try getting your child out around children that are talking clearly, talk to her all the time and don't baby talk to her, talk to her like you talk to...

When did you use your first babysitter?

cjfoust @cjfoust (614) • United States 17 Sep 09

My husband and I are expecting our first child in January. I know that is still months away, but I have been wondering about certain things. How old was your baby when you first left him or her alone with someone else, including a...

mneff2003 Start by going to dinner with your husband and going right back to your child, until you get used to it. Leave them with a family member at your house until you find someone you trust 100%. I would wait until the baby is a couple months old, some people do it...

mneff2003 Well first of all, you have to have patience, its going to be a long road. The first thing your doctor is going to tell you is to put her on meds. Which you can do but if you have the patience I suggest starting with exercise and diet changes. These things can...

mneff2003 Use Mr Clean Magic Eraser, it works awesome. Keep the crayons away from the little one and work at teaching them how to properly use them. People say to get erasable paper up on your walls but next thing you know the child is 10 and still thinks its ok to...

mneff2003 You are a lot older then most young mothers out there, I was 17 when my nephew was born and I remember the ugly looks I would get from people when I had him with me. A few times I would say something to the point of it was none of their business but you just...

mneff2003 The saying is its bad luck to tell anyone or buy anything in the first trimester. Your passed that so go crazy. I did. Don't buy a lot of newborn items because they grow so fast, start with a few newborn and then go to the next sizes. Your going to need a lot...

mneff2003 It is way to early for her to be spending the night away from you. Your husband should be the one talking to his mother on this topic. You need your own bonding time with her. My son is 15 months old and he has been away from me 2 nights. Calmly ask her to...

My Child Doesn't Do Any Wrong!

OK-I am mazed at parents like this. You know, the ones who baby their children or really don't go after them when they are mean to other kids, but when some other kid is mean to their kid, it starts a big fiasco. Example: A...

mneff2003 I understand what you mean and I probably wouldn't be as polite as you were. I would be telling her that taking the children away is not going to teach them what they did wrong and talk to them, possibly make them sit and go from there. But when her children...
