13. My First Baby - Learning the Basics

17. How To Get Children to Sleep
[MOMS]
In order for us to get restful sleep, we need to be relaxed. In order to relax, a number of things have to happen. First of all, we need to feel safe and secure.

18. Discipline: Spanking vs. Time Outs
[MOMS]
Which way do you swing when your child behaves? What's best - spanking or time outs? Before you even get to the point where discipline is needed, experts say that kids need clear-cut boundaries so that you can head off discipline problems before they even happen.

20. The Impact of Parenting Styles
[MOMS]
Watching a young girl hit, kick, and call her mother names I never imagined a 6 year old knew, engaged in an (ultimately successful) attempt to get dessert led to an enlightening luncheon conversation with a few friends last week. As parents ourselves, we had all dealt with incidents like this and had different opinions on how the mother should have handled the outbreak. As we talked, it turns out we represented the three most common... Read More
