What are some family-friendly (and fun) fundraisers?

mufasa42 asked:


And if you have any ideas for carnival games that are fairly easy to make and do, that would be helpful too. Include directions to the games or rules too, if you know them. Our tiny town is trying to raise money for new playground equipment.

How long should a punishment go on?

warehaus asked:


My 3 year old son can sometimes be aggressive with playmates, especially if they’re younger and especially if he is tired. The other day he pushed a playmate off some playground equipment twice and then refused to apologize. My husband punished him by taking away a favorite toy. This was 2 days ago. He says our son can have the toy back when he apologizes.

How long would you let this go on with your preschooler?
He misses the toy a lot and asks about it every hour. Then he gets “punished” all over again by being reminded of what he did.

How can I protect my kid from germs at the playground?

oh my various gods! asked:


I took my 2 yr old to the park w/ dozens of other little kids. I noticed one kid was noticeably sick. I’m normally not a germaphobe, but he was coughing (like the deep scratchy bronchitis kind of cough) all over the playground equipment. I wanted to smack his parents for bringing him… the least they could do is teach him to cover his nasty mouth! Lo and behold, we both started coughing/sneezing today. :( What do you do to protect your kids from germs?
