Hey there readers. I wanted to spend some time this evening to review some of the safety products we have used for the past 2 years as our son (an now daughter) reached his developmental milestones: from sitting in one place, to scooting around, to crawling, to pulling himself up, and then finally walking — and falling. With each milestone in your child’s first 2 years comes a lot of smiles and happiness but also a lot of stress and worry that they may hurt themselves.
If you’re a first time parent, or a family that has a new toddler growing up, buying good home safety products is a must. My wife and I have used KidsSafe for product reviews, tips and ordering. KidsSafe is a one-stop shop for all of your home safety products from kitchen safety to child/pet gates, indoor to outdoor, and pretty much anything you can think of!

How many parents have the beginnings of gray hairs due to a whining toddler or preschooler? What causes your child to whine? Why does the sound of whining drive parents crazy? Why do I feel like I’d rather hear someone run their finger nails down a chalkboard right now!?
Battling with a child that constantly whines is no fun — for both the parent and the child. Trying to stop the whining using threats or time outs probably won’t work either, and most likely end up in a screaming match of “BUT I WANT TO!“ And I’m not sure which side (in our house) wins. Sometimes I have to give in to my 3 1/2 year old son because I just can’t take the constant whining. I know…this only leads to future whining. And I know it does. We just battled it out today with Boo because he wanted to ride his electric 4-wheeler but the battery was dead from the previous day’s riding (and Mommy and Daddy forgot to recharge the battery overnight).

Ok I think my wife is at her wits end with putting our son to bed at night. Whenever I try to take him up to bed he starts to climb the stairs and then quickly asks for Mommy. I think we have to begin to work on that issue as well! Breaking the routine of just Mommy putting him to bed and then allowing me to help out a few nights a week would do wonders for the sanity of our household!
I found this good source of articles on Helium.com, they have a pretty good section on Parenting and different sub-categories. Here is the link to the article.
