Choosing a Birth Control Pill
In the 1960s and 1970s when birth control pills were first available as a contraceptive option, choosing one wasn’t tough. There was one type of pill, with one hormone, one level of that hormone and, unfortunately, a whole lot of side effects. Since then, as the pill and its hormone levels have been refined, choosing a birth control pill has become a little more complicated. There are a number of types and brands to choose from, all of which have different benefits depending on your particular health and contraceptive needs.
How to Teach Kids About Checking Accounts
Money education is an important and sometimes overlooked lesson that parents forget to share with their kids. It is important for kids to learn how to budget the money they have available to them and how to balance a checkbook. When kids see mom and dad pull out credit or debit cards, they may not realize that there is more to managing money and a checking account than just swiping a card. Any money management lesson also gives you a chance to spend time with your kids, and to gauge their basic math skills.

How to Get a Toddler to Eat Meals at the Table
Toddlers are little bundles of non-stop energy. Sitting down is not one of their strong suits. Parents can encourage their energetic tots to enjoy some quiet family time at the table for meals. Make the table a comfortable place for the toddler and the whole family. Minimize trouble zones for the toddler by removing glass centerpieces or salt and pepper shakers, which can invite curious toddlers to play and make a mess rather than eat their meal. Tuck the ends of a tablecloth so they are out of reach to minimize the toddler’s temptation to tug on it. In the beginning, realize that toddlers will get up from the table frequently, but if you stick with the idea that food is eaten at the table, they will eventually sit until they are done with their meal.
Getting Baby to Nap in Crib
It’s a common complaint among parents—you just can’t get your baby to nap in his crib. Of course, he’ll sleep everywhere else: the car, the baby swing, the bouncy seat, the car seat or in your arms.

It’s not always easy to do, but there are some ways to make the transition to crib napping a little easier.
