So you want to be a mum? Every time you see a little baby in a mother's arms you
desire it even more. I am going to ask some hard questions here for those who want
to be mums: Why do you want to be a mum? Is it because it will be fun? Is it because
you can show your motherhood to others? Is it because you want to keep your
partner?Is it because of your loneliness? Is it because you are curious? Is it because you can
get so many benefits in this country? Is it because you want to leave your surname
going after you die? If you had to go on an interview in order to be authorised to be
a mother, do you think you'd pass?Motherhood is a full-time job with long hours and overtime.
Visiting the Library

Tracking Your Child Progress
As a parent, you can learn a lot about your child's learning
and watch for signs of possible problems. Here are some
things to look for and to discuss with his teacher:Starting at age 3 or 4:Does your child remember nursery rhymes, and can he play

letters and numbers that he sees in books, on billboards and
signs, and in other places?At age 5:Can your child play and enjoy simple word games in

The Challenges of Single Parenting
Having worked with parents for the last 35 years and written books on parenting and relationships, I've discovered that one of the greatest challenges for us as parents is to be loving role-models for our children, showing our children through our behavior how to take personal responsibility for their own feelings and needs.

Caretaking Parents, Entitled Kids
Demanding children - children who have entitlement issues - seem to be common these days.

Get it for me NOW!"), we hear many children today uttering the fairly constant refrain, "I want ?.
