Are you wondering whether your baby will be right-handed or left-handed? Be patient; it may be months or years before you know for sure. Most babies start showing a preference for reaching for things with their right hands between six and nine months, but its not until theyre 18 months or older that they start using their preferred hand more consistently. By age three or four, their handedness should be fairly evident. If its not, you may want to talk to your pediatrician.

A trip to the hairdresser or barber can be traumatic for a toddler. Ease the way by making it part of a fun day that includes lunch and a movie or playtime at the park. Schedule the appointment at a time she’ll be fed, happy and alert. If she's afraid it will hurt, snip a piece of your own hair or let her watch someone get a haircut while waiting her turn. Bring along a favorite toy or doll to preoccupy her while she’s in the chair.
