			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="sleeping in late, and sideways" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48224903@N00/3626080665/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3326/3626080665_c85587f810_m.jpg" border="0" alt="sleeping in late, and sideways" width="240" height="180" /></a><br />
It is not uncommon to run into more potty problems when you are potty training at night. One of the usual night time potty problems that parents have to deal with is bed wetting. Usually, children outgrow this stage when they’re 5 to 6 years old. But this can be a long wait, if you don&#8217;t tackle it at the start.</p>
<p>However long it takes, you should try to create a positive atmosphere during this process. It takes time and patience, but if you maintain an open communication with your child, you would both be able to easily cope with the demands of night time potty training.</p>
<p>To make the transition from daytime to night time potty training easier, here are some helpful tips to speed up the process:</p>
<p>1. Accompany your child to the potty before his bedtime. It’s a good idea to empty his bladder before he goes to bed to avoid night time wetting.</p>
<p>2. Put a night light beside your child’s bed. One of the reasons why a child wets the bed at night is because he’s afraid of the dark. If you suspect that&#8217;s the problem, a night light would alleviate his fears of the dark.</p>
<p>3. Pull-ups would be a good substitute for a diaper. If your child is not yet ready for a grown-up underwear at night pull-ups can provide a helpful transition. Your child can use the pull-ups the same way as a grown-up underwear, but pull-ups can also absorb large amount of leaks at night.</p>
<p>4. Remind your child to go to the potty at night whenever he needs the feel to go. Remember not to nag or reprimand. By casually reminding him, you are reinforcing the importance of night time potty training.</p>
<p>5. As an alternative, put a potty seat in his bedroom. If he finds it frightening to go to the bathroom at night, a potty seat in his bedroom would solve the problem.</p>
<p>What your child needs to master night time dryness is your 100% commitment and support &#8211; that includes patience. Be reassuring, because this is a normal part of your child’s development. Reprimanding or punishing your child whenever he wets his bed at night would only cause him distress and potty regression.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Abattoir's 3 from the Garden" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/75921150@N00/3624433065/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3611/3624433065_57dca24fb0_m.jpg" border="0" alt="Abattoir's 3 from the Garden" width="240" height="180" /></a><br />
If you&#8217;re vegan or vegetarian, you&#8217;ll naturally want to raise your offspring as herbivores. But it is healthy? Is it in your child&#8217;s best interest to abstain from meat and animal products?</p>
<p>Yes! Rest assured that children can thrive as vegans or vegetarians. Like any other diet, you have to offer a variety of balanced, wholesome foods and give some thought when <a href="http://www.mommiesmagazine.com/mealplan" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >planning meals</a> to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Basically, you have to use common sense.</p>
<p>According to Joanne Stepaniak and Vesanto Melina, authors of &#8220;Raising Vegetarian Children: A Guide to Good Health and Family Harmony,&#8221; a balanced vegetarian diet can protect children from obesity, heart disease and other pre-conditions for adult diseases. Children and adults don&#8217;t need dairy or meat. They can get iron, calcium and other nutrients from vegetable sources.</p>
<p>Vegetarian and vegan diets are based on whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and legumes-all the foods doctor recommend you eat more of.</p>
<p>So, if this is true, why do vegetarians-let alone vegetarian families-routinely face such harsh criticism from some doctors, friends and family members?</p>
<p>Food is a highly personal topic. As someone who&#8217;s been vegan for 10 years, I can attest to the emotional weight people place on food. No one wants to feel that their diet is morally unjust. Many people feel guilty by just being in the presence of vegetarians, without anything being said about factory farms or agricultural practices.</p>
<p>People say vegetarians are deficient in nutrients, that we&#8217;re setting up our children to be mocked, and that we just hate good food. But none of these claims are universally true. They are just attempts at being critical.</p>
<p>As someone who&#8217;s raising a vegan child, I wonder if this criticism will overflow onto my child or if people will be more accepting of a vegetarian lifestyle by the time he&#8217;s engaging in real conversation. Is vegetarianism, as I suspect, a healthy diet being unfairly vilified? Or does vegetarianism still have a lot to prove?</p>

<strong>When Someone Very Special Dies:  Children Can Learn to Cope with Grief</strong> <em>by Marge Heegaard</em> is an outstanding book to use to help the child that has experienced the loss of a loved one.  I cannot say enough good things about this profound book that made an impact on my heart while using it with a child in my life.  Ever so deserving of its rave reviews, Marge Heegaard, has helped countless numbers of children through her insight of what will help children to best express themselves.</p>
<p>It is known that children best express themselves through drawing their feelings out on paper.  This 32-page workbook gives children the opportunity to express themselves on paper in a non-threatening environment on a one-on-one type basis.  As you turn each page a thought provoking question is asked with plenty of available space for the child to draw out his or her answer to each question.  This workbook is best worked on over a period of time so as not to overwhelm the child.  As the child works through each page the opportunity to discuss each aspect of the deceased is wide open and available.  This wonderful book should be on the bookshelves of everyone who is involved with children.</p>
