Raising Children to Weather the Storm
When I asked the pediatrician, “when do babies begin teething?” I was shocked by his answer. “Most babies teeth between four and six months,” he said. I knew there had to be some mistake. My son was only a couple months old when I started noticing signs of teething. I knew early on he was…
I wrote a post on my BabyCenter blog about having the sex talk with your kids in response to a video by Cut.com. The video featured parents talking with their kids about the birds and the bees.
