New Parenting technique

My girlfriend has been taking a class through a woman in Vermont and loves it. It is about parenting, and getting our kids to cooperate with us. Check out this website and let me know what you think. Some stuff sounds pretty cool. If there is enough of us interested we could try to get her to come down for a seminar. Any thoughts??

eating out.

Do you ever eat out with your kids? How often? Do you go to real restaurants or kid-friendly restaurants? (And how old are your kids?)

Most importantly: what are your tricks for keeping your kids happily non-screaming in mixed (kid/adult) company?

Picky eaters

What do your kids eat? Vegetables? Meat? Casseroles? Is your kitchen stocked only with PB&J and hot dogs? Do you bribe your kids with "dessert" so they'll eat their dinner?

another stroller?

My kids are 3 and 1. I have a double, side-by-side Maclaren that I can hardly push it is so awkward (it was great until the kids got bigger). I have a double jogger that is absurdly large for anything but a long walk outside. The 3yo will still ride/walk. But for the times he won't be around, I've got a single Maclaren and a singer jogger.

Should I sell everything and buy a Phil and Ted's e3? Has anyone used one with approx. 65 lb of kid? It just looks so easy to maneuver compared with what I've already got.

sharing

What do you tell your kids about how to share? How do you handle a struggle over a toy?

Candy as a reward

Sugar/candy issues aside (please don't lecture me on giving my kid candy as a reward), can I use Easter candy, Halloween candy, or gifted candy as rewards for good behavior or potty?
