The success of every parent they say lie in comprehending the talents of their children and doing all they can to help establish themselves in the fields they choose to. So, if you want to be a successful parent, you would be required to observe your children and find out their interests. You need to be proactive enough to look for the best places that you can buy art supplies for your children at the best rates. These art supplies might include and range from anything to easels and paint brushes and colors and chart papers to anything that your child might require. As a parent, one has to be well informed about the kids’ art supplies and the places where these can found at low costs without any compromise on the quality. Kids art supplies can be gifted to children at the time of their birthdays and these can be delightful to them. Quality easels should be chosen as the height of the easels and the degree in which it slants matter when kids are using this kind of art supplies. When parents purchase kids art supplies for their children, the children will feel that parents think they mean the world to them and strive to excel in their arts.

My daughter just turned two on Sunday, and I am trying to potty train her. She hasn’t been very responsive, and she thinks the whole process is a joke. Instead, she has taken up the habit of playing in her #2 (only nice way I could think of saying it). She hides in her bedroom and gets it everywhere. It makes me absolutely insane! She did it right before bedtime tonight (right after a bath!), and I made my husband clean her up because I was at my breaking point. I made her stand in the corner for a very long time until she said “I’m sorry”. She knows she isn’t supposed to do it because she hides and then cries when you catch her (before you actually punish her). How do I make this stop??? Is she rebelling against potty training or does she just consider this fun?

LOL, I feel for you. Our youngest daughter did this also. It is a phase some kids go through. She will eventually outgrow it, but it will take time and patience. Our daughter hated when we would make her wash her hands after she got caught. She eventually quit doing it because she didn’t want to keep washing her hands all the time. I don’t think there is really a lot you can do to make her stop, just be patient and she will outgrow it in time.

Why do people frown on you for say smacking your kid on the butt when your at the store?

I really feel bad, and yes I use spanking NOT BEATING my kid, I will tap her on the butt so she gets a little sting and thinks hey I dont like that.

But when Im in public and she acts out (sometimes really horribly) I dont do anything because I know Ill get the nastiest looks EVER. But I also feel like I am not following through with what I say to her and Im being inconsistent.

You know those people probably do the same thing, but why do they give you those damn looks???

Although it is the correct thing to do,
people look at is as politically incorrect.

These people that give you the look are “childless”
otherwise they know that at times a kid deserves
a “pop” on the butt.

if you dont follow through on your disicpline in public, your child will get mixed messages and will have a hard time deciding what is right from wrong, and when to use different behaviors in a variety of situations. If your out in public and your kid acts up, try taking him or her to a bathroom, dressing room, or other secluded places so that he or she wont be embarassed and there wont be other onlookers. You need to correct bad behavior when your child is young or else he or she will never learn.

Because some people abuse the whole spanking thing. Some people spank their kids for every little thing they do wrong and some people spank hard enough to leave marks. Spanking your child is not wrong as long as you don’t hurt them. If it works then do it, even in public. I would not worry about what others think, screw them. As long as you know you are doing whats best and not injuring your child.

I’m 10 weeks pregnant and having a fair bit of discharge sometimes its just a clear colour and today its like relaly white and quite thick. It smells like bleach like a cleaning product is this normal i havent had any other yeast infection symptoms. And my baby is fine and all that. i cant get doctors appointment till 24th July as i figure it isnt urgent urgent any advice or previous experiences?

most of the discharge has a small amount of urine in it, believe it or not. urine, eventually turns to ammonia… which as you might know, is often used for cleaning - kinda like bleach.

anyway, it’s normal. nothing to worry about.

I had some discharge during my first pregnancy, and I also ended up getting a yeast infection. Which was quite painful. If it gets worse, I would try and get in to see your doctor. But I think clear or white discharge is not anything out of the ordinary.

After reading several comments over celeb adoptions from last week, it became apparent how many people are truly ignorant to the plight of foster children in the US. There are more than half a million children are living in foster care. These children have been removed from their homes due to abuse and/or neglect. They have no more problems than any child you adopt, in most cases less. At least with the kids in foster care, you know what you are facing. You don’t get that overseas. In most overseas adoptions those involved will paint a perfect picture so you will adopt. Some times it’s true, other times it is not. I started out adopting overseas because I believed the stereotype of the foster child. I am so glad a good social worker changed my mind. My husband and I adopted an 8 year old little girl; she’s now 14. For every child you hear about on the evening news there are thousands more who share the same tragic story. I’m all for helping others but we should take care of our own 1^st?

I agree with you! I wish more people would think about the kids in need of families right here in the US before going overseas. You are right there are foster kids that are not problem kids! They were just dealt a really bad hand! There are also kids that do have problems in the system, but does that mean those kids do not deserve a great family?!?! My niece is 15 and was adopt at 11! She is amazing! Healthy, Great grades, popular at school, and just as sweet as they come! My daughter is 7. She has FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) but she is a beautiful, loving sweet little girl, who loves school and makes friends every where she goes. We have to deal with a few behavioral issues, but for the most part she is just a great kid! With most of these kids you get out what you put in! Some are drug exposed, some have bonding issues, some even have sexual abuse issues, but that does not make them a lost cause! You never know what you are going to get when you adopt overseas! Here in the USA they have to give you access to all the case history before you adopt so at least you have some idea what you are getting into! You also get access to additional support and therapy if at any time you need it! Plus adopting through the child welfare department is Almost cost free. You even get your court costs reimbursed after the adoption. In some states your kids get Free medical insurance, college tuition, and some kids even get a monthly cash payment until they are 18!
Thanks for posting this question! Maybe we can get more people to think about adopting from the foster care system!
God Bless you and your family!!

Many people, perhaps most, want infants, not 8 year olds, and are unwilling to budge on this issue. Plus, a substantial percentage of children in foster care come from neglectful or abusive homes, and potential parents are worried about bonding with children who likely have post traumatic stress disorders. It is true that we have many thousands of children that need loving homes, but it’s unlikely that droves of adoptive parents will change their mindset about considering older, emotionally fragile, children

Most women believe if they are a large in regular life they will be a size large when they are pregnant. Or, if they are a size small then they will wear a size small while they are pregnant. This is not exactly the case and women will really need to try on maternity clothes in order to ensure what they are buying looks good and fits well. Some women who want to wear celebrity maternity clothes will find that the sizes in these items are different as well. So, when you are trying to figure out what maternity size you are the best recommendation is to buy clothes only after you have tried them on. You can go to a boutiques pregnancy store and get some one on one help with your style. You want to have a chic mama pregnancy and the only way to go about doing that is to figure out what style looks best on you. It will take a little while for you to find the clothes that you like that also look good on you and that you feel comfortable in.
