? Here are just a few of the ideas in this book that parents have actually used to make life with young children easier: Child Proofing ? Keep valuable & small articles away from baby's reach. ? Drape a towel over the top of the bathroom door to keep children from shutting it tightly and locking the mselves in. Tantrums ? Listen. Acknowledge the source of frustration. ? Whisper in your child's ear. The screaming may stop or turn into a giggle. ? Disappear into another room. You'll feel better and the tantrum will lose steam Hair Care ? Sit you child in a high chair to prevent "wandering". Spread a newspaper underneath. ? Remove gum from hair with peanut butter. Work it into the hair and then comb out both gum and peanut butter.
