Thank you for the poem, Nikolett.  It is beautiful, like all of the moms out there.

We all have an amazing and tough job teaching our children to become the best that they can be.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

What does the different colour mean?  I noticed most are yellow, but some are green or red.

Thanks.

Hi StaceyCanada,
I am from Saskatoon, SK.  I think that it is great that your dd is learning how to read.  I am trying to teach my 4 1/2 year old, but I find it hard to find the time as she is so busy with other things.  I wish that I had known about this program when my children were younger.

It is important that your children see you read as well because they learn a lot from watching us as parents.

I tend to read parenting books as well, but haven't found much time lately.

The one that I am currently trying to read is "Kids are Worth It" by Barbara Coloroso.  I read it ~10 years ago, and want to reread it.

I have read some of the "Unconditional parenting" and would recommend any books written by Alfie Kohn.

I also enjoy Chicken Soup books as each story is short.

Thanks for the websites.  I'm always looking for new ones for my children.

My 4 yr old loves dresses.

I wear mostly pants, I find jeans uncomfortable.

I had my first dd when I was 24, my first son at 32, and last dd at 34.  I am now 39.  I love each one and find it diffcult to accept how fast they are growing.

I am still currently breastfeeding my 4 1/2 year old daugter.  My son nursed until 2 1/2, and my first daughter until she was almost 2.  I'm not really sure when she will wean, but I'm thinking that it will happen some time this summer.  She generally only asks to bf at bedtime, so I will miss that part of the routine, but understand that they do grow up, faster than we want them to.

My daughter calls breastfeeding 'nap', so others don't know what she is asking for.  My son had called it nurse and was embarrasing out in public when he asked repeatedly to nurse.  I think that it is helpful to have a code word for breastfeeding for when mothers are out in pulic.

Milk is produced by supply and demand, as my 4 1/2 year old can leave for 4 days and when she returns she can still bf.  My body has adjusted to her needs.

Thank you for sharing your stories.  I think that it is wonderful that women were given this way to nourish their children.
