The post Should You Let Your Dog Near Your Baby? appeared first on parentztalk.com.
]]>Sometimes it’s important to take precautions, even if they’re a bit extreme. Even if you trust your dog wholeheartedly and know in your heart they would never hurt your baby, it may still pay off to create some sort of barrier between them. Dogs are so loving and caring, but this can translate into them slobbering all over your child, and let’s be real: we all know where your dog’s tongue has been.
However, every precaution should come with a nice fat grain of salt. You don’t want your child growing up without being exposed to anything potentially dangerous, and you also don’t want to teach them to be afraid of everything they see. For this reason, we wouldn’t necessarily block your baby off completely from your dog. Allow your dog to interact with the baby, but just keep a watchful eye if it seems as though things are getting a bit too friendly and/or aggressive.

]]>Arguments happen in any relationship. It’s only natural. But no matter what argument you’re having with your spouse, you should do everything in your power to make sure that argument doesn’t happen in front of your child. You want to show your child a united front, and the reason is because it adds stability to their lives. When they see their parents united strongly as one, it influences them in a positive way, and they’ll feel inspired to yearn for this type of strength as they get older.
You need to realize that you and your spouse provide foundational support for your child. Not just financially, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. They feel less equipped to handle life’s trials and tribulations when their parents are fighting in front of them—because to them, mommy and daddy fighting symbolizes a chink in the armor. A chink in the very foundation they put faith in from the moment they were born. So even if it’s not easy, do the best you can to provide your children with a strong, united foundation.

]]>If parents and siblings are a child’s first introduction to relationships, their cousins are a step right after that. In fact, cousins are probably an even better “test case” for your children because they’re generally not living in the same house as your children, meaning they’re not so different from random people your kid will meet in the real world.
In addition, if your children spend a lot of time with their cousins, they’ll likely form loving bonds that’ll last a lifetime. It’s kind of like having extra siblings, and in some cases unique best friends, especially when two cousins are of the same age. Even if you and your sibling aren’t the closest, your respective children will benefit from connecting to one another.
