Potty Training - To Train or not to Train?Written by Rexanne Mancini
Continued from page 1
I've heard that little girls are easier to potty train than little boys. Any readers out there care to comment? We'd love to hear from you, especially if you've trained both a boy and a girl. As for bed wetting after four or five years of age, some kids just can't help wetting bed at night. It seems these precious ones are not emotionally unstable, torn apart by low self-esteem or any other old-wives-tale rationale. They simply do not have capacity to hold their urine and they are deeper sleepers than most. If you have a child who cannot stay dry at night, there is a remedy. Please talk to your child’s pediatrician.

I think moms can work at home, be homemakers or work outside of home and still be great moms. The most important part of mothering is being there for our children. Maybe your sacrifice is going to work but spending your precious little free time reading your child a bedtime story every night, taking him to park on Saturdays or chaperoning your daughter's school dance. What matters is our input, confidence in our roles as mothers, knowing we are best person for role and to understand how valuable we are to society. Pat yourselves on backs moms … you've accomplished a miracle! There is no greater sacrifice on earth, in my opinion, than making decision to be a parent. Know how important you are. Know that your children need you to be as solid an individual as you can be. Therein lies your strength as a mother, whether you spend day at home or in an office. We are all exceptional women in our motherhood.
