How to Stop Sibling Struggles

The first grandchild on my husband's side, my eldest was occasionally treated like the second coming of the Messiah, or pretty close to it. Really, I'm surprised trumpets didn't announce his arrival at family gatherings. So when his little brother arrived, it rocked his world. He went from being the center of the universe to something more akin to Pluto.

Having a baby and a toddler is only half the problem, though, I discovered a few years later: These kids are going to get older, and pretty soon you have a toddler and a kid to deal with.

Here's how to handle both sibling stages.

Everything You Want To Know About Baby's First Smile

The first few weeks with baby can be grueling. Here you are, waking round the clock, using every last molecule of energy taking care of someone you just met, who’s completely helpless (and incapable of saying “thank you” -- just yet). Your worth-the-wait reward for getting through? Baby’s first smile. But don’t expect those first gummy grins too soon. Your baby’s brain needs a few weeks to develop before he’s able to smile at you for real. Looking forward to that or wondering whether it’s already happened?

Here’s everything you want to know.

Roll 'Em

Becoming a parent means less free time and more stuff to lug around, but it doesn't have to mean less running. Taking your child with you on a run can be liberating—you don't have to wait for your spouse or a sitter in order to get out the door—if you have a baby jogger. To figure out which joggers are worth a spin, we had five parents (and seven kids) test eight jogging strollers.

These four standouts will help you share your workouts with your little one, without missing a step.

The Smart Way to Talk to Teachers

When your child's teacher calls you, chances are she's worried about your child's behavior or schoolwork, so it's tempting to panic, get defensive, or fly off the handle before you've even heard everything she has to say. How can you stay calm? The key is to ask the right questions so you and the teacher can create a plan to help your child.

Parents.com asked teachers for the four most common reasons they call parents and the best way to handle each situation.

Back-to-School Health Checklist

8 Signs of a Healthy Baby

Even if you fear you don't know the first thing about newborns, after a few weeks with your own little darling, you start to hear a difference between his hungry and tired cries. You know how he prefers to be rocked and burped. You grow more confident about your parenting skills. If it weren't for the exhaustion and the hormonal overload, you'd feel like you have everything under control. But all it takes is a small, paranoid though -- is my baby eating enough? Is all this crying unusual? -- and you can easily fall into a spiral of anxious concern..

So you search around online and read the comforting, vague phrases: "Healthy babies exhibit a wide range of behaviors, appearances, and temperaments." Question is, how do you know that your baby is happy and developing normally? To help reassure you, we've assembled a list of indicators to watch for that prove an infant is doing just fine.

Tough Enough? How parents can help their kids handle criticism

Wise parents help their children -- not with false soothing, distractions or praise -- but with probing observations. For instance, you might say, "I noticed yesterday that Sally didn't want to play with you. Do you have any ideas of why that might be?" With some guidance, the child might respond, "It could be that Sally is having a bad day. Or it could be because I didn’t share."

Learning to accept criticism and evaluate one’s behavior empowers a child for life. Read the full article here.

The first day: Kindergarten, high school and college are big transitions -- how you can help them prepare

No other milestone provides a snapshot of a child's life like the first day of school. It's a tangible reflection of the child moving away from the parent and into the adult he or she will become. Unlike graduation, where success is celebrated and emotions are welcomed, starting a new school requires a tougher face.

Before the little fish can swim in the big pond, there is work to be done and decisions to be made: what to bring to school, how to get there and who will become a friend. Yet there are ways to prepare the child, whether they are anxious, confident or a mixture of the two.

Cach Cach Tweetie Blanket

Founded in 1984 cachcach began with the unique concept of the “Pocket Buddy.” Each child’s garment came with a stuffed toy attached to the garment by a string and stowed in the pocket. Since the 80s the brightly colored character-themed prints with the matching pocket buddy has evolved to meet the fashion trends of the new decades. But to this day, cachcach is still remembered for its pocket buddies and animal motifs. Today’s cachcach is known best for its use of rich fabrics, textures that are visibly soft to the touch, charming dimensional motifs, and of course, whimsical animal characters.

Vaccines: Fact and Fiction

Most moms don't have to look far beyond their circle of friends to find a family with serious concerns about vaccines. It's not difficult to understand why. For one, it can be torture to watch your child get jabbed repeatedly with a needle. Combine that discomfort with a steady stream of negative publicity -- celebrity diatribes, alarmist news and Internet reports, ripped-from-the-headline TV shows -- and the wariness seems warranted.

Yet underneath all the debate and impossibly good intentions (after all, everyone hopes to be doing the best for their child no matter how or whether they immunize), there are some solid facts about the benefits of shots that cannot be ignored.

Baby names with some bite

You can watch the "Twilight" movies and read the books, but why stop there? Thousands of Americans are giving their babies "Twilight"-related names.

Bella, the name of the love-struck heroine of Stephenie Meyer's vampire novels, hadn't quite cracked the Social Security Administration's list of the top 200 girls' names in America when the first "Twilight" book was published in 2005. Today, it's at No. 58, higher than Miley, Kingston or Maddox. Cullen, the last name of Bella's vampire beau, Edward, is in the top 500 boys' names for the first time in more than a century.
