And because I really, really wanted to stop nagging my poor family, I did what any self-respecting woman would do: I decided to keep a journal and put it out there publicly so I wouldn't chicken out. So it's been 30 days. Was I able to curb my nagging ways? http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/974207/mom-stopped-nagging-for-a-month Parenting Parenting Tips & Advice Parenting Humor Lisa Steinke Wed, 10 Oct 2012 14:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/972879/parenting-an-extroverted-child If your child is an extrovert — super social, talkative, craves high-engagement play — a little insight into how he sees the world will help you know what he needs from you. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/972879/parenting-an-extroverted-child Parenting Jennifer Chidester Fri, 28 Oct 2011 08:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/841823/channeling-your-drama-queen-intodrama You know what we’re talking about. Your child was born to emote. You have one of those “dramatic” kids, to put it lightly. Everything is a drama, nothing is ever calm and you and your girlfriends have a regular chuckle over where this over-the-top personality might have come from. You love your child dearly, of course, but the drama is, well, something else. What’s a creative, doting mom to do? Get that child into some drama productions, of course! http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/841823/channeling-your-drama-queen-intodrama Parenting Parenting Tips & Advice Child Development & Health Jen Klein Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:00:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/841817/monday-mom-challenge-dont-be-a-drama-queen It’s true. Life can be pretty dramatic. You’ve heard the adage: “Truth is stranger than fiction.” Well, real life can be more dramatic than many Tony-winning Broadway productions -- and that’s before we add to the drama with exaggeration and inflating issues for our own attention-getting benefit. There’s enough big stuff to go around that we really don’t need to create drama in our lives. Get some perspective on where you’re at -- and don’t be a drama queen. http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/841817/monday-mom-challenge-dont-be-a-drama-queen Parenting Parenting Tips & Advice Parenting Advice & Columns Monday Mom Challenge Jen Klein Wed, 15 Dec 2010 19:31:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/holidays-and-seasons/articles/821399/8-ways-to-make-a-great-first-impression Making a great first impression is a necessary life skill, whether for a job interview, going on a blind date or meeting the in-laws.
