Toilet Training
Better Parenting
by David and Charissa Scotford
Toilet Training involves your toddler learning both bladder and bowel control. We found that most of our training efforts went into teaching them when they had a full bladder (and what to do about that!) and that bowel training followed soon after. While some children may find it hard to regulate their bowel movements and others may choose to use it as a battle ground, a regular, daily pattern soon emerges and is therefore easier to train.

A LITTLE NUDGE
By Karl Faase
Have you heard the saying, “Happiness is not a goal but a by-product”? These are wise words. Many of us have made happiness our goal. We do all we can to be happy. We spend our time doing the things we think will make us happy, and yet find that happiness is an elusive goal.

If God is good, why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?
Frequently asked questions
with Dominic Steele
Sometimes the answer to this question is quite clear. For example if someone speeds or drives irresponsibly, and has a car accident and they or someone else are injured or killed, injury and or death come as the result of unlawful actions. Or someone is too greedy and selfish to share what they have, and so someone else goes hungry as a consequence.

The ovaries are hidden away deep within the pelvis and the initial symptoms of ovarian cancer are very non-specific, making ovarian cancer one of the most difficult cancers to diagnose early. If it can be found in the early stages the cure rate is approximately 90%.
