Topic of the week

MommyToAshley wrote: I just had a thought. What if we had a topic of the week (ToW)? We can pin the topic and offer each other advice, resources, and share experiences.

I think the post about Stranger Danger would be a good way to start. So, I am going to combine the original thread with this intro and pin it. Please share your ideas for the ToW.

PrairieMom replied: Good idea.

Bullying
Fire safety

PrairieMom replied:
oohhh good one. Lets start with milk allergies. I forgot I need to learn about those.

Mommy2Isabella replied: lol Tara!

I just think it would be helpful, knowing what foods are common allergy foods...

SUCH AS STRAWBERRIES, we found that one out the hard way!!

PrairieMom replied:
aw... she's allergic to strawberries? thats sad. I rubbed a strawberry on Al's arm first before I let her eat any, thankfully she isn't allergic. DH looked at be like I was on crack.

lovemy2 replied: How about kindergarten/school readiness - especially for the parent

coasterqueen replied:
I think this is a good one. Along those lines are what should the parent be doing or what can a parent do when their child starts school? I guess what I'm saying is we are in a routine, but I wonder if I'm doing everything I should now that she's in school. Am I asking her the right questions, am I doing this to help motivate her etc etc etc. KWIM?
