GRANDparenting 101

By: Kay Green     http://www.mypreciouskid.com

ABOUT ME: I am a mom of 4 (ages 10-27). I am Nana to 3 (plus a 4th coming this fall). And I have taught a moms class for the last 5 years. Our last child was adopted when I was 40. It has put me in a very unique situation of seeing that parent rules and suggestions have changed for the better. This picture is me with my twin grandsons.

EXAMPLE: my oldest children all slept on their stomach, with bumper pads and quilts in the crib. My last slept only on her back. And now we know that by placing our baby on her back in a crib with no bumpers and no blankets the SIDS risk is greatly reduced. Read More...

Goodbye empty nest

5 things to talk about before your mom (or dad) moves in

By Dr. Marion Somers

Just as many of us start to enjoy our empty nests, we're faced with a new dilemma: the possibility of moving an older parent into our homes. When a loved one can no longer live independently, there are a number of options available, ranging from in-home care to nursing homes and assisted living facilities. But recent statistics show that more people are choosing another path: moving their parents in with them. Whether it's for economic reasons or a desire to keep the family close, the US Census Bureau notes that the number of parents living with their grown kids skyrocketed to more than 3.6 million in 2007 - up 67 percent from 2000. And while you may be used to having your grandchildren over for a visit, preparing your home - and lives - for an older person is… Read More

GRANDparents As Encore Parents


These aren't your mama's cloth diapers!!

We all want to give our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews the best. That is why we work so hard to protect them, teach them, help them, and make sure they feel unconditionally loved.
