A recent report entitled “Healthy Food Campaigning Could Be Putting Toddlers’ Health At Risk”from the U.K. indicated that the recent awareness and concern about childhood obesity has led to some toddlers to be categorized as undernourished. The focus on fruits and vegetables and high-fiber in lieu of carbohydrates (including sugars) and foods with a high [...]
DITM is an acronym you might overhear me muttering any time I’m trying to buckle my squirming toddler into a shopping cart or when my daughter insists on candy when it’s time to sit down for dinner. Any time one of my kids puts up a struggle over something that I shouldn’t give in [...]
Our daughter turned one recently, which has opened a new world of games to play with her. No longer is she a baby, but a toddler and is capable of so much more than she was just a few months ago. She’s playing “peekaboo” all the time, and enjoys waving “hello” and “bye bye” as [...]
Child proofing is a continuous process, as my husband and I have learned as our son, now just over two explores more and can problem-solve to reach things that he used to just stare at and wonder about.

And if you talk to [...]
My daughter gave up taking naps right around the time she was poised to turn two years old. This may not have been such a big deal, but it was right around the time her baby brother was born and I really could have used an hour or two to myself during the day…or [...]
Our daughter is underweight. She’s not horrendously underweight, but our pediatrician had some concerns; hence, we have some concerns as well.
If you have ever tried to get an extremely active one year old child to actually sit down long enough to finish a meal, let alone gain any weight, you understand how hard it [...]
When my daughter was in her terrible twos and my son was a newborn I often stumbled around like a zombie, not showering for days on end and crying in anguish if dinner was burned. It wasn’t a pretty sight, but I took solace in knowing that it was probably something my kids wouldn’t [...]
