This Thursday's tip sheet -- help!

I was distracted by attending the infamous play today (I'll report on that later) and assorted other tasks, so I find my mind completely empty as I contemplate the looming Tip Sheet for this week. Parents, please fill the void, quickly!

What are your ideas for our next tip sheet?

How about pool safety?

Good idea, but I can't decide whether it would be better as a Monday Consult.

What about places to beat the summer heat?

I like things to do this summer with your kids.

I would love tip sheets on the following:

- Summer birthday party ideas (crafts, food, games

- I don't know if this is a consult or tip sheet: You love the parent, not the kid or vice versa. Best ways to handle this sticky situation.

- New Children's books, music and DVDs; maybe have readers suggest their all-time favorites for each age group

Thanks!
