Great presidents develop their confidence right in their cradles, when they are soothed and made safe by a soft, warm quilt lovingly sewn by a grandma or a mom, or handed down from a lov...
What Is the Best Way to Potty Train a Girl?

What Is the Best Way to Potty Train a Girl?

Babies Toddler
As a childminder, I always told parents that potty training success strongly depends on whether your daughter is ready and motivated to start going to the potty or not. Most children age and develop differently, but once they are ready, it shouldn't be too hard for you to teach them bathroom etiquette. In fact, research has shown that some girls may start as young as 17-18 months, whereas others might not be ready until they are four years old. So, if you want to know when to start potty training, you should keep in mind the fact that most parents choose to start when their girls are between 2 and 3 years of age, which should be the age you start at as well. Additionally, experience has thought me that girls can usually be potty trained faster than boys, and most are ready around three ...

Maybe Your Baby Does Not Need Very Much Sleep

Babies Toddler
Recently I have had several parents tell me that family members and even people from the medical profession told them that it is "normal for some children to not sleep much". I had a mom of a two-year old tell me that her daughter was sleeping about 4 hours per night! The mother was exhausted but she was being told that was probably normal for her child to sleep only a few hours. Adults require less sleep than children. So, if you the parent are exhausted with the amount of sleep you are receiving, your child is even more exhausted. If you are bed-sharing with your child, remember your child needs a lot more sleep than you do. As adults we might cover up our signs of tiredness by drinking coffee, eating, showing little energy or having a difficult time focusing mentally. But, our bab...
