mommydiaries A lot of life skills are developed when a child plays with age-appropriate toys. For babies, even if they don't realy play with the toys yet, simply looking at them/listening to their sounds stimulates their brains. For pre-school aged kids, their motor skills...

mommydiaries Talk to a crying child to find out what is wrong. use a soothing tone of voice and chances are, he will stop crying. It calms a kid when he knows someone is listening to him. The worse thing you could do are to ignore them or get mad at them. They need...

How polite should we be with our dear ones when their behaviour really hurts?

totalearnings @totalearnings (1603) • India 27 Feb 07

mommydiaries There are diplomatic ways of telling people you love that their behavior is inappropriate. I suggest the following: 1. do not use a condescending tone of voice 2. explain how his/her behavior affects you. Don't just say you hate their behavior or that they...

mommydiaries I feel comfortable using my own stuff. For one thing, I have gotten used to using them so much it is quite hard adapting to someone else's things. Plus, all my files are in my computer, it's a hassle to use somebody else's.

This Could Get Ugly Very Quickly

kitchenwitchoftupper @kitchenwitchoftupper (2290) • United States 26 Feb 07

When you first get pregnant, you are told that there are "stages" of pregnancy. When you have the child, you are told that there are "stages" in that baby's first year. You later learn from baby food jars that there are "stages"...

mommydiaries Well, you can't blame the companies making those products, after all, the best advertisement is by splattering their logo/name all over their products. LOL For a parent with a young child, coordinated/themed baby things is cute! But as they grow older, we...

mommydiaries There are a number of reasons why schools require students to wear a uniform. First of all, the uniform reflects the school's culture/image. It also helps in terms of social adjustment for students as they are relieved of the pressure of having to dress in a...

mommydiaries When temptation is right infront of you, it takes a lot of willpower to say no. Having soda machines in schools is like baiting mice with cheese. Many kids like soda. And for those who don't really like it, they take it because it's readily available. Most...
