    Talk about it?...

    Everyone handles it differently, those who experience it, and so even the same method of handling it can have radically different results. Even if she had been treated the same as you, she may still to this day have the fear and hightened sensitivity to situations which bring the experiences...

    Car Seats Save Lives... we are here....

    I've been in a car that flipped over so know the pain. But thank god you have it and you and family are alive and not seriously hurt. I can only begin to imagine the terror for your child until you knew she was ok!

    Questions on bullies. (a tick long)...

    Bullies are one of my big grrr issues. I loath them and the parents who allow their children to be a bully. Growing up I dealt with several, and even had one pull a knife on me when I was in 3rd grade. My father basically taught me that it was not ok to start a fight but if anyone brings one to...

    Sleep Problems...

    How is Abigail the rest of the day? Are you able to have cuddle time with her aside from feedings and when she is being put to bed? Is she ever in her crib except for sleeping? Is it only when you are putting her to sleep that she has problems away from you? And how are you doing? I can imagine...

    Is it wrong for a mother to wish her son was more attractive?...

    For some reason, I am unable to value my son for his positive qualities. Now that I have been told, explicitly, that these views are wrong, cruel, and selfish, I can see that the problem in our relationship lies with me, and only me.[/COLOR][/FONT] First, please know I am not judging you as a...

    Family Says Airline Left Them Stranded At Airport...

    I'm going to have to agree with the airline on this ine, at least in part. In a perfect world though, I think the airline should at least have refunded the portion of the ticket price not used for the continued flight, as it seems they did not put down purposely to offload these particular...

    Is it wrong for a mother to wish her son was more attractive?...

    When I saw this topic, I imagined someone who perhaps wished their overweight son could lose weight, to build his own self-confidence and feel better about himself. Is it wrong to feel this way? Not if it were something like the above, but to feel this way in the manner of which you wrote...

    What to do when your child swears?...

    I decided to teach my son that language is language, neither good nor bad, it is what you do with it and why that matters. I also refused to be a hypocrit since there are those in my family who do indeed use curse words, perhaps more than they should, myself included. So rather then just say no...

    How to Encourage your Child to Enjoy Reading...

    This seems a good topic to start with, so, being my first official post (aside form my introduction) bear with me if I tend to ramble some :) Alot of good points made so far. Being a devoted bookwyrm myself, I could not imagine my life without being surrounded by books, but can understand that...

    Hello one and all...

    Hello one and all, My name is Donna, and you may guess from my nick that I'm a bit of a book fiend. My greatest passion in life though is my fabulous demon. He use to be my tiny demon but then he insisted on growing, as children invariably do, drat! Cody, (recently turned 12) accepts the...
