Your Child, Ages 0-6

ABC blocks

Dear Parents,

Toy safety has been in the news lately. Read a list of recent toy recalls to find out whether you have any unsafe products in your home. Be proactive by learning how to look for safe children's products. Also, consider whether your children's toys are teaching the wrong lessons for life.

If you're looking for fun activities to do with your kids, look no further than the kitchen. It's full of opportunities to play and explore: make rainbow-colored ice cubes, be a cookie paleontologist, brew a magic potion, and more.

Finally, raising good kids is all about the signals you send to your children. Learn how to give your kids positive reinforcement and constructive feedback, and practice other effective parenting principles that will foster a good attitude in your children.
