Parenting Tip of the Week--Show a Little Tenderness

Tate, my 7 year old, is covered in poison ivy.  Arms, legs, face, neck, belly...can you tell it's been 75 degrees here in the south for the last week?!  He has lived in our backyard!  And as itchy as he is, he is counting on me to help see him through--cream, oral steroids, allergy medicine, a trip to the doctor, a trip to CVS...Why?  Because I'm his mom, and he trusts me to offer a little TLC.  Who in your family can you throw a special lifeline to this week?  Try showing a little tenderness.  You'll be glad you did!  Blessings, Shannon
