    Before serving to children, make sure they don’t have peanut allergies. For fewer pops, use half the crackers and jam; save small pan of ice cream for eating.  Find the ingredients and instructions here at MarthaStewart.com.

    Teaching your children table manners, by Amanda Rock at About.com

    You know your preschooler wasn’t raised in a barn but how do you convey that to anyone that eats with her? Chewing with his mouth open, eating with her hands, burping, the list goes on and on. It’s no wonder that dinner time in many houses where an under-5 year-old lives becomes a cringe-worthy event for most parents. The good news is, teaching your preschooler manners is not a difficult proposition.

    How to Stop an Interrupting Child
    Teaching Your Child to Be Patient So You Can Get a Word in Edgewise
    By Amanda Rock, About.com Guide

    The house is quiet. Your preschooler just had lunch and went to the bathroom, and is now happily coloring away. It’s the perfect time to pick up the phone and make a few phone calls. Right? Ha. Any parent can tell you that the scenario described above almost always leads to one thing — the second you get absorbed in your call, you will soon find your child at your feet, tugging at your shirt, interrupting what you are doing.
