When is it all right to introduce a newborn to other children?

You can introduce a new born to other children after they have had their shots, around six to eight weeks of age. If you are talking about the brothers and sisters of the newborn then as soon as possible, within minutes if you have it at home.. A newborn is not a puppy, you don't have to keep it away from other children unless they are ill. A breastfed baby is protected anyway.

Who can you authorize to pick up your kids from school?

maybe the closest in your family that you trust the most

Another View: Actually . . . this question is worded in MUCH too general a way to be answered in specifics.

If you actually mean - sign your child out of school - or pick them up from school if they become sick - that would be up to the rules and regulations of your local school administration or, possibly the laws of your county or state. Customarily this will indluce ONLY those persons specifically authorized by you in writing to do so - EVEN IF the "unauthorized" person is a relative.

If you mean picking them up off of school property (e.g.: after school is out of session) and they are walking home or waiting for a ride, then that would depend on what or how you have instructed your child on who may be trusted or not.

THE DIFFERENCE BEING: When the child is in school, or on school property he/she is under the protection of the school administration. When the child is OFF school grounds then local laws (if any) prevail.

What do you do if you have to go to the toilet while babysitting?

Depends on the ages of the children. If they are small put them in a playpen or crib for that time. If they are older have them stay within talking distance of the door and keep talking to them. If you can, go to a neighbor and have them step in for a second. Now, imagine you are a teacher and have 30 kids in a room. Ever remember any of your teachers leaving while class is on to go to the restroom?

Why shouldn't kids play tag?

Why does my partner leave me home alone with the kids whilst he goes out and has fun?

Because you let him. Take him aside and first point out to him the inequality. Ask him what he thinks should be done about it. His response here should hopefully be a pleasant surprise. If not, have ready your solution - taking turns, getting a babysitter to go out together - what you want that will bring peace to your life and a greater wholeness for your family. Be gently firm if need be. But first, one step at a time. He may well have excluded you by reading cues from you that you are unaware of. Keep a gentle air of love alive in the discussion and it will go far to finding the solution here.

Babysitting an older hardly-verbal toddler and younger toddler tips?

Written by Asker -

I've just recently started babysitting two little boys, one of them is almost three and he can't form sentences very well (or at least in front of me he doesn't). He can repeat words when he hears them, and listens to directions fairly well, but I'm worried about communication. The other little boy is like 15 months and Is just starting to walk, but is going through an attitude phase kind of, and has a tantrum when i try to change his diaper, try to dress him, or put him down for a nap.

My main concern is really the older one, because he tries to play with the little one, but doesn't listen when i tell him he's being too rough. Any tips from moms or fellow babysitters for solutions to all this?

Can you find a babysitting job in a local newspaper?

How old is M99 sn432837?

According to the web site www.savage99.com, your gun was made in 1946. The site has dates up to serial number 566,000.

Interesting. The same site has a different set of serial # dates from an old American Rifleman magazine. According to that, my rifle was made in "1918 or later." So, I have two choices..1948 or 1918 "or later." It's a start, I guess. Thanks for the link.

How much should you charge to watch a 8 year old?

It is not appropriate to charge to watch an 8 year old. Taking care of children, especially those who are young, should be based on mutual understanding or arrangement with the child's parent or guardian. It is important to prioritize the child's safety and well-being rather than seeking financial compensation.
