The best adventures are unplanned. Give your kids less money and more time. Make sure you have some time off from parenting now and then. Ignore developmental milestones unless you think something is seriously wrong. Don't get in the habit of lying to your kid.
Shots do hurt.
Some medicine tastes yucky, Beware of fads in parenting. It used to be regular feeding times, now it is sleeping through the night and early toilet training. Baby's are productive members of society. They spread optimism and good cheer more effectively than any adult. Help them do their work.
