Once you have observed situations involving sharing, you should be able to determine which issues seem to cause trouble for particular toddlers. Is one child especially protective of a particular toy? Consider letting him or her put that toy away somewhere, off limits, during a play date. Plan to let toddlers play together when they are rested and when they have been fed. Hungry, tired, cranky toddlers are guaranteed to fight over toys. Limit play time to one to two hours for toddlers; anything longer is expecting too much from a young child. Whenever toddlers are playing together, it is best to have clear, simple rules in place. Any toys that are not meant to be shared should be put away elsewhere. All remaining toys should then be shared, with no exceptions. Consider setting a timer for popular toys, and enforce consistent limits. When a child has to give up his or her favorite toy temporarily, offer interesting replacements. If you give a toddler something fun to do, he or she may be too distracted to argue about the original toy. Generally, it's best to have lots of choices available. Have enough options around to have multiple alternatives for each toddler. Instead of grabbing toys from other children, toddlers should be taught to ask for them. Model appropriate language for toddlers: "may I have a turn, please?" If toddlers play a game that requires more than one person, whether it's a ball game or a board game, they will be less likely to fight.

Q: An all-black outfit not only looks uber trendy, it also disguises stains. Pick shades like black, dark gray, navy, or even a royal purple. This applies to footwear, too. White shoes are likely to get spilled on or stained. For girls, you can't go wrong with a little black dress. For guys, if you love the look of lighter shirts, toss on a dark blazer over top. Neon colors like lime green or hot pink or bold hues like bright red are very eye-catching. They'll really pop under the flashing lights of the club. Stay away from pastels or pale earth tones like beige or light gray. Vibrant abstract patterns in bright colors make for great clubwear. For example, wear a T-shirt with neon stripes across the chest or a mini skirt in a rainbow diamond print. Nightclub outfits are notoriously more over-the-top and risque than your everyday style. Wear pieces that flaunt 1 of your best features. For example, go with tight hot pants to highlight your long legs or a quirky crop top to bare your stomach. The same rule applies to men. Skinny jeans show off a nice rear end and a fitted tank top draws attention to your sculpted shoulders. There's no limit to how crazy (or how scandalous) you dress for a nightclub usually. Just check the club's dress code to make sure. Now is not the time for minimalism. Choose jewelry that's as loud as the music the DJ is playing. Oversized earrings, chunky chokers, and rings galore round off your fun party vibe. For men, sport a flashy watch or gold chain around your neck. Wear less expensive costume jewelry instead of your nicest pieces in case they come off on the dance floor. Avoid jewelry that could get caught on other people's clothes while you dance. Hoop earrings, for example, can easily snag and get ripped out. Ouch! For women, choose a small purse or wristlet that can be worn over your shoulder or across your body. You want your hands free for drinking and dancing. It's tempting to wear your highest stilettos or your snazziest dress shoes to the club, but are they the most practical? Remember you'll be on your feet most of the night so choose your footwear accordingly. Wedges or platforms make a better alternative to skinny heels for women. Men can wear leather loafers or boots. Find out if there's a dress code. Many nightclubs forbid sandals, flip-flops, work boots, or athletic shoes. If you are going to wear heels, bring a pair of flats to change into or bandages to cover up any blisters throughout the night.
A: Wear dark colors to hide sweat marks or spills. Opt for clothing in bright colors if you want to stand out. Pick eclectic clothes that show off your figure and maybe a little skin. Pile on bold accessories that make a statement. Slip on shoes that are comfortable for dancing.
