Children don't come with a User's Manual, so we rely on parenting and childcare books, magazines, TV programs, and web sites to help us find the answers. However, the best resource I've found is other family members and friends. Share your questions and answers here.

For your child's sake, write a will. Sure, we don't like to think of these "what if" scenarios, but wouldn't you rather choose your child's legal guardian than have the state pick one? We chose one person to be our daughter's guardian and another person to handle her inheritance, a good system for checks and balances.
Do you find this valuable?

Join a playgroup or start one yourself. My daughter and I joined a playgroup before she was two. We met weekly (summers too!) at each other's houses. Once the kids got into first grade, we started meeting once a month when the school scheduled half days. We sometimes met at night for ice cream socials too.
Not only do the children learn to socialize, but parents find support and friendship within the group. If you have a local parenting group, such as my town's Bedford Family Connections, it's smart to join and reap the benefits, including help with forming playgroups. If there's no parenting group near you, contact one of these networks below. |

Watch the progression of your child's artistic skills. Put name and date on your child's artwork.
Create an ever-changing art exhibit with picture frames. Every month or season or whenever, change the favorite pictures in your frames with something new. My daughter painted a very zen-like picture just before she turned three. It's colorful and simple but somehow profound. We loved it so much we had it professionally framed. |
