Back to School - How to prepare your child
Going back to school can provoke fear and anxiety in kids of all ages. In general, younger children are more open to talking about fears and worries with their parents, so it’s important for parents to help children get their fears out in the open. KidsHealth.org has information written directly to children and tweens, as well as several pages of direct quotes sent in by kids, themselves, describing what they worry about when school starts. If you can convince your child to log-on, it may help get them talking to you about what’s on their mind.
Teenagers may have the toughest time. A full 87% of teens admitted in a survey for the Nemours Foundation teen health website that they worry about fitting in socially, about the way they look, or about handling the workload. Teens are less likely to talk about their fears with their parents, though. One thing parents can do to alleviate school anxieties is to help steer teens toward an engaging, esteem-building outside activity.
While parents cannot protect their children from all of life’s worries, there are times when you may need to seek professional help for your child. Excessive anxiety or depression as school approaches may be signs of deeper problems. The University of Michigan Medical Center offers a commonsense guide to dealing with your child’s back-to-school issues, and knowing when larger problems loom.

Potty Training: How to get through it:
Potty Training: How to get through it
Potty training has gotten both easier and harder since my last foray as a “trainer.” The good news is that the expert advice I’m reading seems to be more reasonable, less rigid, and even incorporates methods from parts of the world where “disposable diapers” is not part of the lexicon. The bad news is there are so many choices and decisions to be made. At least you can get a clear summary of the latest accepted toilet training methods here at NickJr.com.
There’s also a lot of good information at iVillage’s potty topics, but all those surefire tips from experienced moms are a bit discouraging. Frankly, my older son never gave a fig about star stickers, and the current toddler all but threw the bowl of M&Ms across the bathroom the other day.
The most important thing, experts say, is to choose the method that best fits your lifestyle and your and your child’s personalities. That can be complicated, as I’ve discovered. We tried an amazing one-day method—to get the whole thing over and done with quickly—but none too successfully. Now one of us now hates the site of the potty.
When feeling frustrated, I always turn to Dr. William Sears, author of my favorite old-time parenting book, Creative Parenting. I’ve found that his Web site, AskDrStears.com, is one of the best resources for parents going through potty training hell. He consolidates all the info out there and is full of calm, practical, encouraging advice. Success will be ours one day soon—or in 6 months to a year.

Dealing With Hand-Me-Downs:
Parenthood is full of thankless tasks perhaps none as mind-numbing as dealing with hand-me-downs. I get through it by thinking about the money we’re saving and the lessons we’re teaching about recycling even the clothes on our backs. In the 9+ years I’ve been dealing with this I’ve gone the gamut…from wrapping those precious first clothes in scented tissue and special boxes to my current & favorite solution: a firm resolve and space bags!
Here are some of the things I’ve learned:
Designate a place for clothes that have been outgrown. A laundry basket in a closet works great. Once that skirt creeps too high for even a mini or his pants are showing too much ankle, throw these items into the hand me down basket.
If you didn’t really like it the first time you might as well take this opportunity to toss it in the Goodwill bag. Maybe it was a gift or a hand-me-down to your first child; however it came to be, move it on, it might turn out to be the next kid’s favorite shirt…and then you will have no one but yourself to blame when he wants to wear it for six days running.
Label it. If your little darlings are as delicate as mine (try to forget that they eat hot dogs in a single gulp and hold regular belching contests) they despise even the softest label and demand that these be cut out of their clothes immediately. This is fine until it comes down to putting them away for the next one. Take a Sharpie and find an inconspicuous place to indicate the size. It’s best to do this as you’re putting it into the basket.
Sort the items by category before you store them. Designate one pile for shirts, one for skirts and dresses, one for sweaters etc. This will give you one last chance to discard the clothes that are really too worn or stained to pass on as well as those that are too trendy to stand the test of time. And later, when you are desperate for a pair of pants that fit for the school concert, you’ll be glad they’re not hiding between seven sweaters and a bunch of t-shirts. Speaking of T-shirts…
Think carefully before spending time storing T-shirts. Once your child has hit elementary school they begin to multiply (maybe they get together with the lost socks and mutate?) and it makes more sense to figure out how to discard them. I have a good friend who makes quilts for her kids from their old t-shirts. This is a great idea and something that I aspire to…don’t laugh, I can dream can’t I?
Label the bags by placing a piece of paper with size and contents on top of the pile before your shrink it. I also affix a file card with the bare facts: Shirts/ size 6 /Spring&Summer to edge of the bag so if I store the bags on high shelves I don’t have to take them down to see what’s inside. My friends make endless fun of me for these index card fringes that hang from my closet shelves but since two of them are now doing it too, I figure I might be onto something.
Music, tv and bribery are among the things I’ve heard people offer their kids to try on hand me downs. One mom of girls says that she turns up the tunes, throws in a boa and takes the fashion show approach. She sometimes gets through three bags before the girls tire of the fun. When it’s over, the kids have at least one or two things they’re thrilled with, I have a nice bag for Goodwill and we can all feel good that we saved money and maybe some wear and tear on the planet.

10 Tips for Better Potty Training:
10 Tips for Better Potty Training
1. Prepare. Don’t begin until you, yes you, are ready. You will need the time, patience and positivity to kindly and consistently implement a training plan for your child.
2. Being ready also means you’ve done your research. A good place to start is at the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians Web sites. iVillage is also a splendid resource, filled with tips and discussion boards.
3. A bad place to start is with disapproving relatives, like your Aunt Agnes who boasts ‘all my little ones were trained at twelve months.’
4. Remember, you and your child are in this together. Never allow the learning process to become a power struggle. If you are rigid, unbending and authoritarian, your child is bound to resist and try to assert his autonomy.
5. Be flexible. Expect successes and failures, progress and setbacks.
6. Buy more than one potty chair or seat, preferably one for each bathroom in the house, and one for the car, too.
7. Never punish mistakes, always reward attempts — and choose rewards that work for your child whether it’s a favorite candy, a star on a chart, a hug and a kiss, or all three.
8. Stock up on potty training attire that is easy to pull on and off. No overalls, no tights, etc.
9. Allow your child to learn by example; allow her to accompany you and siblings or potty-trained friends into the bathroom, whenever possible.
10. Avoid becoming discouraged; your child will read and mirror your attitude and moods. Remember that complete success, daytime and nighttime dryness, will come eventually. But it can take longer for some children, boys especially; the American Academy of Pediatrics says that most girls and 75% of boys are dry at night by age five.

Getting out of the house in the morning:
Getting out of the house in the morning
I’ve never met a parent who says getting everyone out of the house on time each morning is a snap. [Most say mornings are more like chaos.] But I believe it’s possible to strive for an organized chaos, where everyone is up, organized, fed and out in a timely manner, including you. Here’s how.
First, and this takes a lot of ongoing effort — but you need to do it — organize your house so that ‘there’s a place for everything, and everything is in its place.’ Yes, this is really key in preventing those mad a.m. rushes that waste so much time and cause anger, frustration, or crying. So make sure you have places for lunchboxes, signed papers, sports equipment, etc., and everyone is in the habit of stowing things properly.
The second most important tactic is to do as much next-day preparation the night before. That includes making lunches, checking on breakfast supplies, making sure everyone’s homework is done, etc. Don’t, however, wait until late at night when you and everyone else are exhausted. Surely that’s a recipe for a migraine or insomnia. Also, make sure the kids do their share of the nighttime prep work!
A little humor puts trying times in perspective, so check out syndicated columnist Marni Jameson’s lighthearted account of her attempts to rouse the kids each morning and organize her household. There’s some sage advice in there too. And remember to find the little joys in all that life holds, because as Carly Simon sings, “these are the good old days.”

Do, Ra, Mi…Oh My! Can Music Actually Make Kids Smarter?:
Do, Ra, Mi…Oh My! Can Music Actually Make Kids Smarter?
Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself. - Henry Ward Beecher
Music is usually defined as the arrangement of sounds into groups or patterns that create a pleasing or stimulating effect. Since these “pleasing” or “stimulating” effects are considered intangible, the value of music is often measured in terms of the beauty and pleasure it brings to the world around us. But, what if the value of music could be measured in other ways, like intelligence or focus?
In recent history, this is a correlation that many experts have been studying, particularly as it relates to children. According to a scholarly article posted by the University of Texas, many experts speculate that when children listen to music, they use the same parts of their brains that are required to handle math, logic and higher levels of reasoning. This is the case because music generates neural connections in a child’s brain, which are used to stimulate abstract reasoning. Some say, the earlier the exposure to music, the greater the role it plays in a child’s overall brain growth and development. In addition, many experts believe that music encourages better attitudes, increased interests, greater focus and a higher level of discipline when paired with complementary activities like exercising and studying.
Although the subject of music and intelligence among children is still largely up for debate, music remains a fun, stimulating pastime for kids of any age group. As a parent, consider exposing your youngster to music and musical instruments to gauge their interest. If they’re excited about the prospect of pursuing, there are a number of outlets -from the school band to private lessons - that can foster your child’s musical creativity. Let them choose, give them the tools and then, just sit back and enjoy the harmony!
Adoption Guidelines
Many people choose to look into adopting children. If you are one of these people, it is important that you understand some general adoption guidelines. There are many kinds of adoption that can occur in the process of adoption.

Talking with your children about tragic events:
Talking with your children about tragic events
Parents worry today about the effects of exposure to violence and traumatic events on their children. Children’s responses hinge on their parents’ reactions. During crises, parents should admit their concerns, but also emphasize their abilities to cope with the disaster, says the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
To learn how to help your child cope with frightening events in the news, check out Mister Rogers’ sage advice. These can be frightening times for both children and adults, and parents cannot always be there to switch off the TV or power down the computer when scenes of natural catastrophes and acts of terrorism are delivered to us instantly.
Fred Rogers said when he was a boy and something scary was on the news, “My mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers–so many caring people in this world.”
