Children's Books on Kindness by
iowacookiemom
I've been asked to speak to a group of mothers of preschoolers at a
nearby church on the topic of kindness. I want to focus mostly on
ways to model kindness with our children but I thought it would be fun
to also provide a little bibliography of children's books that have
kindness as a...

chipped tooth?!? by
Karen G
What is the standard response to a chipped baby tooth these days? My
not quite 1 year old bumped his mouth on the bathtub and chipped one of
his front upper teeth. It doesn't appear to be sharp, but it definitely
doesn't look as smooth as the one next to it. We plan to call the
dentist on...

Christmas present request -- can you identify this? by
iowacookiemom
It's so hard to find anything an 11 year old wants that doesn't cost
$500, and even harder to get an 11 year old boy to be specific about
clothing he might want... so I was thrilled when Henry mentioned he
would like a certain kind of shirt. It sounds vaguely familiar to me,
but I can't identify...

Cleaning out the Closets by
Scott
Yesterday I finally threw out the remains of my kids'
Halloween candy (Well, I ate the peanut M&Ms, which neither
of them like). They protested very little. I figure
it was past time.
DD is now afraid of being kidnapped. Too many
abduction stories in the paper, I'm afraid. I wonder
how long...

Cloth Diapers? by

I am curious about cloth diapers vs disposable. Do or have any of you

negative comments welcome!
Thanks!

Clothing for tweens by
Beeswing
My daughter is 9 and is getting to a point where she wants to pick
clothes for herself. We were in a hurry yesterday and she needed a few
new tops and pants, so my husband and I took her down to Sears with
express purpose of looking at the Lands' End stuff. Well, it's between
seasons, and there...

Computer game: Sims "Hot Date" by
Pam
My 11 1/2 year old daughter loves the Sims -- and has been buying all
the expansion packs like Superstar, Unleashed, and Vacation. Now she
wants Hot Date. She's not particularly interested in the romantic
stuff -- mostly in the other features it will give her Sims. She wants
Downtown and wants them...

Computer monitoring by
Greg
Greetings all.
I'm a father of one teenaged daughter, and another teeneager-to-be (not
too soon, thank the Gods!)
As with any household, the use of the computer has become quite an
issue. Parental controls on my AOL account don't seem to be enough.
She still manages to find her way to...

Concept development in kids by
Todd Smith
I don't have children, but I thought it would be interesting to know
if a 3-4 year old kid would know that a brick (or something else shown
to them to be heavy by an adult) would not bounce if dropped on the
ground, and what his answer would be if you asked about dropping it on
a trampoline...

Contact info for Bear Feet shoes? by

I wonder if anyone can help. I am trying to locate the Bear Feet shoe
company. I am in the UK so I am not sure how to get this info. I have
tried googling but no luck so far. Plenty of resellers, but I'm keen
to get in touch with the actual makers of the shoes. I believe they
are in Texas. Any info...

Cookie baking with kids? by
Robin
I have unexpectedly found myself with the assignment of leading two
dozen children, ages 8-11, in a cookie-baking project at a school party
this weekend. (I volunteered to help cook. This is not what I had in
mind.)
The project will involve making and decorating cookie-cutter sugar
cookies, to be...

Corners and ovens: The fears of an old parent of a young child by
Ann Porter
Having a little one at my advanced age has been very different from having a
little one in my youth. I was much more carefree when I was younger. I'm
still not going to freak if he drops a piece of candy then eats it. But
this time I have two major sources of anxiety that I had never thought...

Cranium games--which one? by
Chris
I have heard and read that the Cranium games are fun and thought of
getting one as a gift this year. I didn't realize there are about 10
different versions! Any thoughts on which would be the most
appropriate for a family with a 10 and 14 year old boys?

Creative solution for adolescent droopy drawers syndrom (STMD) by
Dawn
STMD=sly things moms do
Like many boys his age, Henry is into wearing his jeans low with a
generous portion of underwear showing. It doesn't help that his
stocking stuffers this year were designer boxers that he's proud of.
Sigh.
He got in trouble often at home for having them too low and twice...

CTTD (spelling test again) by
Iowacookiemom
I spoke too soon about 100% on Henry's first spelling test (see "In other
news...") -- Jerry privately pointed out to me that he actually missed one and
the fellow student who graded it didn't see it.
The CTTD is really a Jerry/Henry thing. Helping Henry study, Jerry decided to
try a new...

CTTD: Making the Bed by
Ann Porter
I visited my daughter and her family for my granddaughter's baptism last
month. I was helping my grandson clean up his room. We picked up his book
and his toys, and then he helped me make the bed.
When we were all done with the bed, and the room looked nice and tidy, he
said, "Let's do it...

CTTD: Making up the rules as we go by
Ann Porter
Today, my 4 y/o wanted to play the "no talking" game. The rules were, the
first one to talk or laugh, loses. He said "ready, set, go," and we started
the game.
Well, I didn't have anything in particular that HAD to be said, what with
being 44 and all. So in a few minutes, he says, "Mommy,...

about a verbal exchange he had at school yesterday and I was paralyzed
with laughter for a good minute -- and who can I tell?
So, apparently he wasn't trying hard enough during PE yesterday
