Baby Wipes That You Can Feel Good About

“This post was sponsored by WaterWipes as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” As the parent of a non-verbal autistic teenager (Sweet B) who is not fully potty trained and a toddler (Squeaker) who is on the brink of potty training; we go through a lot of baby wipes. Add my niece, Boo-Boo, who just turned a year old- and we really go through a lot of wipes. My diaper changing skills are being put to the test daily. And if there was a gold medal being given out, I think I’d stand a good chance to win. Or at least place in the top three. Both of my girls take after me in a…

In my head, oh yes of course! But in reality? Not so much. It’s something that I would love to change and I know that in order to become more comfortable with projects and crafts; I need to do them. I wanted to start with something simple that I could draw and then put into action.

Not that I don’t save money, I do. Just that I could be doing better with it or putting it towards something practical like a retirement fund. I also want to set up a special needs trust fund for Sweet B. But how can we teach kids to save money? Money may be given as a gift for a birthday, holiday, or other special occasion. Maybe your child receives an allowance or they could be old enough to have their first job. For older kids, you…

The 4 Best Types of Toys to Develop Language

Speech is one of the most important milestones in a child’s life. This is because the bulk of speech that children develop during their first 3 years of life greatly influences their social, emotional, and cognitive development, and also largely impacts later performance in school and critical thinking skills.

Is homework a costant struggle with your child? Try this seven step approach.

How to Help Your Child with Homework

When you were younger, did your parents help you with your homework? For the most part, I did my homework independently. But if I really needed some guidance, I knew that I could ask my mom. And while homework may not have been my favorite part about school, I also knew that it had to be done. Even if it meant doing it the morning it was due.

But if your child is struggling with their homework, here’s how to help them without doing all of the work yourself. Every child deserves a parent who is…
