Chocolate or sweets?

portugirl @portugirl (108) • Singapore 12 Jun 07

I heard from someone that if you want to give your children a treat, it would be better to give them a chocolate. Do you agree? Could it be because it is slightly more nutritious?

How do you get a child to stop from using bad words? I heard my child use S#*T and I have warned her once. But when she said it again, I just didn't know what to do? How would you deal with this? She's almost 4 by the way!
