So many questions, so few answers

I am excited for Shannon’s Works-For-Me Wednesday tomorrow (you actually have to post Tuesday for good page position). She is doing another backwards Works-For-Me Wednesday where you get to ask a question and have everyone respond. I have so many questions! I feel sure that the answers are at the tips of everyone else’s fingers. However, I know that I can’t hope for a lot of answers unless I narrow it down to something specific. So, tomorrow I will do that. Meanwhile, I’m just going to list all my current questions. If you happen to read this, tell me which question you would be most likely to respond to.

1) What have you done to become a person (especially a mom) who yells less? Practical suggestions?

2) What are good incentives for little ones?
I don’t want to use candy, it teaches that eating is a reward which leads in a bad direction. I don’t want to use television, because there is too much of that and it makes TV seem super cool. For my daughter 10 minutes of reading works great! But what do I do for a three year old?

3) Everyone seems to say that the key to laundry success is to do one or two loads daily. Can you describe in detail how you do this? Do you sort everything every day? Do you only sort very generally (just lights vs. darks)? How are your children and spouse involved (or not)? How old are your children? Where is your laundryroom? Where are the bedrooms? Do you use baskets, hampers? What

4) Everyone seems to love Mr. Clean magic eraser. I have never figured out what all the hype is about. Could you explain? What is it good for? What might I be doing wrong?

5) Our current disciplinary system seems punishment based rather than consequence based. How can I move to a natural consequences system?

6) How can I get my 8 month old baby to eat more solid food? She is nursing so much it drives me crazy!
