[blparent] Questions on how to clip finger/toe nails

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Any other Jane Austen fans will probably know this, but back in the early 1800's, it was a huge extravagance to have one's hair cut outside the home.  It was also considered foolish, and was used as one way to symbolize that the guy Emma was interested in was a total dud.
Interesting to think about. I suspect that a lot of these men had servants cut their hair.

Hey there,

I've heard that barbers will do that kind of thing for just a couple of
bucks so find someone who will cut your son's nails when you bring him in
for a haircut and you'll be killing two birds with one stone.  You could
also ask your son's pediatrician to do it or at least one of the nurses in
the office when your son goes in for his physicals and such.

Hi, my son is 4, and up to now, my friend use to clip his finger/toe nails.
my friend use to clip his nails.
Now, my friend is working long days 7 days a week, I have to clip them.
I'm afraid of clipping them too low, or enhurting him.
I tried filing his nails, but he hates the texture of the filer, so we don't
do that anymore.

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment
that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them
that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When
will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you
know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that
have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your
arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a
Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are
a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you,
a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its
children." ~ Pablo Picasso I always personally reference how Jesus treated
his disciples - a group of unruly, uneducated, fishermen. He never yelled,
hit, punched, belittled...yet they came to know and love the Lord with their
entire beings - all through his gentle, firm, loving teachings. That is how
I want to parent my children."
