Friday, June 18th, 2010

i need help i’m not sure what to do. some one i know never lets her child do anything. he his a 1year and a half. she bought him a swing set and build a sandbox for him but she wont let him play with them because "he’ll get drity" as she puts it. he can barley speak english and she’s bringing him to classes to learn to speak spanish. no one in her family knows spanish including her. she’s only doing it because her nighbors kid is about 6months older than her son and he can count to 15in spanish and she’s jelous. what can i do to make her understand that not letting him play and get dirty is wrong? i think that the child is going to grow up and hate her because of this and i don’t want that to happen. so please tell me if you have any ideas.

Does anyone know where I can order a Parenting/Baby Book online…FREE?

I’m about 2 weeks or less away from having my first baby and I’m scared to death that I’m going to mess up…I know that there are natural instincts I will have but I’m sure there are things I should know ahead of time…Do any of you have any tips for me when parenting my new baby that maybe you wish you would have known ahead of time that you would like to share with us….Thanks!!! :)

If parenting is a social role, then parents can be evaluated in terms of how well they meet relevant role expectations.
Explain both successful and unsuccessful strategies in any 3 of the following areas:
(a) helping children to feel safe and secure
(b) fostering cooperation and the development of conscience
(c) encouraging exploration and learning
(d) helping children to learn how to make friends and get along with peers, and (e) teaching and reinforcing cultural values?

Our parenting styles are differnt..he is WAY to permissive and layed back about the things his children do ie listening to inappropriate music or being disrespectful. When it comes to my children (who are not perfect) he is quick to judge and point fingers. I am more strict and structured than he is and I’m trying to convince him to go to parenting classes….he is stand-offish about it. How do we handle this?

Mine is to have a better more active pregnancy this time around.

Make sure my family eats better this year.

To have my daughter not feel left out when the new baby arrives.

Try not to spoil my daughter.

To be consistent with my parenting.

Take better care of myself so I can take better care of my family.

Whenever I ask her to do something she refuses. She even reasons out like adults. She hurts her younger sister, classmates and even elders as well as her teacher. If know websites where i can learn parenting much better.

There is a lot of attention surrounding the negative aspects of this place today and everyone is getting wound up, so I’d like to play up the positives :) .

So what information have you learned from the pregnancy and parenting boards that you did not know before? What advice have you received that was invaluable?

Almost all of us have at least 1 person in our lives that criticizes the way we parent our children (often a mother in law, sister in law, mother, sister or friend)

How do you handle the unwanted parenting criticism?
