Growing Up with Babies and Toddlers

Nothing will make you grow up faster than raising children. Babies are wonderful. Toddlers are wonderful. They are also scarry, messy, loud and will totally change your life.

One minute you are glowing with love for that adorable little bundle and an hour later some monster in you wants to throttle that screaming red faced imp.

As a grandmother who was suddenly in charge of a w year old and a brand new infant, I found my 35 year old memories were perhaps a little old fashioned.

So I came up with the idea for a sort of directory of babies and toddlers information for new or not so new parents.

The basics remain the same. You cannot give a baby or a toddler too much love or too many hugs and kisses or too much encouragement. You have to draw a line on behavior and stick to it. Toddlers will test every rule. Babies are not as fragile as you think. Parents make mistakes even when trying their very best. If you mess up---apologize---toddlers do have a sense of self worth.

I am asking that all grandmother and grandfathers who see this site, send me their personal tips for raising babies and toddlers. Lets put together a super site of information and personal stories to help out all those new parents. (You know your own children may dismiss your advice unless it is in writing on the web!!)

That said, please check out these articles and resources.
