Sheltering Children

Having watched a few friends and some family (yes, even me) go through some very difficult times in their marriage that could have or did result in divorce or separation, I find myself wondering at the best ways you all know of to shelter your children from potential emotional damage that arise from such situations.

Do you "ignore" the situation and act as normal as possible? Kids usually see through a lot of "acts" that parents put on, so I don't think that would work very well. But kids are so vulnerable while very young (like 3 years old).

So, dear, wise sister-mothers, how do you shelter your kids from potential emotional damage?

A question

Hello fellow mommies.

I have a quick question to ask you all:

My daughter (26 months) has been throwing up quite a bit, lately.  And she's not sick.  I have noticed that she tends to throw up if she hasn't pooped the day before (she's usually VERY regular, but has her 'off' days).  It seems to me that her tummy can either handle pushing out the poop or throwing up the food she recently ate.  Poor little thing, today she started to cry, told me, "I don't want to throw up!"  then threw up on the couch.  She feels better afterwards, eats just fine...and usually poops within the next 3 hours or so.

I guess my question is, is this something I should be concerned enough about to consult a GI or her pediatrician (we happen to have a fabulous pediatric GI that my son goes to....)?

Thanks for any help or advice!
