Your Questions Answered: Children Chores Children chores, attitude and responsibilty is the subject of much debate. Some parents ask if children should do chores, believing that it's not their responsibility to cook or clean. Other parents believe that children learn responsibility and necessary experience for life by regularly doing their part in household chores. What do you think?

However instead of being less attached to it she has become more attached to it, although I try and use it only for sleeping. Help please. What's New for Babies? My experience is that me and all my friends are always looking out for what is new for babies in our parenting and end up all over the place. I feel like what I do is bits of every body else's ideas. My question is how do I find a parenting way I can trust? Giving Toddlers Choices Why is it that my 2 year old seems to constantly change his mind?

Trying to Be a Good Parent I'm trying to be a good parent by following the giving choices advice, but it's not working at all and I'm at my wits end. What to do when your child refuses to go along with the "giving choices" plan?  Sharing questions and answers It's certainly no chance thing that parents are drawn to others with children in the same age group. Do you have a question requiring mothering or parenting advice? Have you had experiences in your parenting that you feel would help others? Maybe you have had times when your consistent approach made all the difference? Why not share these in the hope that others may be helped and inspired too. You can be assured that your email details are safe with me and will not be shared with any others.
