4. My First Baby - Learning the Basics
[MOMS]
The arrival of a newborn baby is not exactly full of fun and excitement. First-time parents, most especially, have a propensity to experience mixed emotions about the whole thing. This is probably the reason why most people turn to experienced parents such as friends or relatives for some much-needed parenting advice. Those who are not that lucky to have support groups normally hit the shelves of bookshops in a dire effort to get hold of... Read More

5. 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.

6. 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
