Parenting Tip
of the Month
When siblings are close in age, rather than having a constant battle over who gets to sit in the front seat (or has to do the dishes, take out the garbage, etc.), set up a simple schedule. For instance, the child born on the odd numbered month (such as January) or the odd numbered date (the 11th) gets to sit in the front seat on odd months. That's one less battle you have to monitor!

Quote of the Month "Parent the Child You Have"
