    Keeping the House Clean...

    Hi MNDad. Glad to had the talk and it worked out well. Dividing is a great idea. This way both of you can be equally responsible. Sometimes we should just have the talk which we tend to avoid as it solves a lot of problems without complicating them further, and saves a hell lot of stress.

    Child-free auntie has behavior questions...

    There need to action taken by parents in order to discipline their child. A mother cannot ignore a childs misbehavior and then give up too soon as the kid will grow up with these habits. Its easier to correct them when they are young. And parents need to stop them or shout at them when they are...

You would be surprised to see how naturally your new baby will become a part of each of your family members lives. There will be a bit of balancing you will need to do between both...

    Keeping the House Clean...

    Instead of dividing the tasks, try dividing it as your cleaning days. You clean up everything on one days and let her do the other day. See if it bothers her to see the house dirty. Also tell her that not cleaning is going to have a bad impact on the home environment and your kid also wont...

    When did you teach your kids how babies are made?...

    Its nicer when at the right age it is done in school and it is told to them in a more comfortable environment. They can talk about it as health and science. I think thats the best way kids should know the details.

    Handwriting!...

    I think tracing is a good way to practice. Thanks for sharing that akmom. Also I totally agree with cybele on the fact that just because it is the age of computers, we cannot ignore handwriting. So looks like I got the answer. The key is Practice and appreciation and lets see how a combination...

    Handwriting!...

    Well i personally do not have any other motor skill problem. And I personally dont think my handwriting is that bad because it is fairly legible. I understand kids who have other problems along with bad writing, but I want to know the ones who are otherwise healthy and do not still write neatly...

    School lunches lead to weight issues, finds study...

    Its a combination of a lot of things. Firstly parents do not provide children lunch box, and if they do it is barely something healthy. Now if the parents dont give lunch kids will eat from out and the cafeteria food is also not healthy. Plus the lack of PE in school makes them lethargic. So...

    Handwriting!...

    Well one of the major issues I faced as a kid was my handwriting. It was always bad and my dad was after me but it never improved. I think handwriting is a part of your personality, its unique and cant really be changed. So i was never guilty about my bad writing. But now i see kids who dont...

    Olympics...

    Its totally normal for kids to watch something that amuses them and then wish to imitate that. It is just like kids coming home from school and wanting to be teachers. It could just be that you kid is in awe of the games. You could put her into gymnastics and if she develops real interest it...

    Circumcision ban?...

    I really dont get it why people want to alter something that is absolutely natural and normal. Why go through the pain if some unreasonable people will make fun of you later. It is just not worth it and doesnt make sense to me. It has no uses. So why make a poor kid go through the torture.

    Helping a child pronounce correctly...

    Thank you everyone for your advice. Thinking of what i read above, i realized I did not read enough for the child to understand the pronunciation. This probably could be one reason. I will try reading more, repeating the letters more often and correcting the child. If all this doesnt help then...

    Helping a child pronounce correctly...

    I know of kids who cannot pronounce the letter R or S in their early childhood but later as they grow up, they seem to pronounce it perfectly. Is there a way we can rectify this by some exercises in speech so the kids get a hang of the right pronunciation.

    Good books for kids?...

    That is true, that there are also many books we can read to kids and explain them like a story, but they themselves wont be able to get it right while reading. These books can be a little too much for a kid to grasp on their own. Also I think fairy tales, which can be read by kids themselves are...
