Survival Secrets

Banish Boo Boos


Babysitting a kid who got a boo boo? Cut the crying by giving the kiddie a fun-colored band-aid. If that still doesn't stop the tears, try offering a li'l treat like their fave lollipop. Better yet, distract them by baking something up, crafting something cool or doing a fun activity. For great ideas on what to do with your kiddies CLICK HERE.

Hey! First of all, quick question. About how old should you be when you start babysitting? My Mom said that when I'm 12 she'll let me start. Second, I HATE blood! I go crazy! My friend recently got diabetes, and today we went to the nurses office to get her insulin and stuff. When she got the blood, I was a little freaked out, and when she had to put in the insulin, I just turned around. It was like she had to give herself a shot!
This website is really helpful with everything. Thanks!

If anybody can answer my question, please do!

MOD
everytime my friend clicks on my profile, it says "this profile is not publicly visible."
I don't know how to change it, I edited and said I wanted a "Healthy You Profile" and my mom accepted my account already. how do i make it public?

Uncheck the box at the top of the "edit my profile" page that says 'keep my profile private."  Within a few days, it should be public. -lauren

I think that's good advice, like if a kid falls down and hurts himself, clean him up and put on a Band-aid. Make sure that he's calmed down, and then say, "Since you're so tough, how about you get some cookies?" or something like that.
