Miscellaneous Parenting Tip
The best treatment for coughs and colds may still be the old-fashioned remedies: lots of fluids (water, tea, chicken soup), lots of rest and a humidifier for a child with a nagging, tickly cough. Having a child recuperate at home for a few days may not be the most convenient arrangement for a working parent, but dosing children with OTC medications and hurrying them back to school or day care will not make a virus go away any sooner. Lack of sufficient rest may actually weaken a child's immune system and permit a secondary bacterial infection to take hold, necessitating even more recuperative time.

Great Books on Parenting and Single Parenting
We strongly recommend Jim Fay's Love and Logic techniques. The "Parenting with Love and Logic" series help parents and children establish a rewarding relationship built on love and trust. And it will help parents give their children a priceless gift--the opportunity for a joyful, productive, and responsible adult life. These books were written to help parents raise kids who are self-confident, motivated, and ready for the world by teaching them responsibility and the logic of life by giving them the opportunity to solve their own problems from the earliest possible age.
