Once your toddler reaches approximately 2 years old there begins a shift in control. Your little one is starting to talk more frequently and begins to have there own unique personality. Of course this is also known as the “terrible twos”, but moms of older ones know it doesn’t stop at just 2, and tends to get worse as they grow older…unless, you take control now.

I came across an audio course that helps parents deal with the terrible twos, all the way up to beyond 6 years old. It is called Talking to your Toddler.

Do the terrible twos have you stressed out? Is your 4-year old’s behavior driving you nuts? Are temper tantrums a regular event in your house? Maybe you find yourself pulling out your hair because your kids are out of control? Do you feel guilty because you yell at your kids even though you love them tons?

What I love about this program is that it uses language strategies, words you can use to make a bad situation into a better one. This program is all about communication, and how you can better understand your toddler, and they can do the same with you.

Toddlers thrive for communication at this age as their vocabulary is limited. Getting attention from a temper tantrum is how they begin to communicate once they see that it is affective. If you know this scenario well, take a look into Talking with Toddler - it may just save your sanity!

Pampers has joined forces with UNICEF to help save the lives of babies around the world in the Pampers “One Pack=One Vaccine” campaign.

From February 5th through May 1st, 2009, parents in the U.S. and Canada have the opportunity to help UNICEF protect moms and babies around the world against tetanus by simply purchasing specially-marked packages of Pampers diapers and wipes. Each product they buy triggers one life-saving vaccine*.  These specially marked packages of diapers and wipes cost the same as traditional products and are available wherever Pampers products are sold.

In addition to buying Pampers diapers, parents can also redeem Gifts to Grow points for a special campaign “baby body suit” – each baby body suit also triggers a life-saving vaccine. http://www.pampers.com/giftstogrow

Maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT), a both preventable diseases that claim the lives of approximately 128,000 infants and 30,000 mothers in less industrialized nations each year – that’s approximately one death every four minutes.

Tetanus is a fatal disease that can be eliminated with a simple vaccine.  By simply purchasing something you do anyway – diapers and wipes – you can help wipe out tetanus.
