Today's question: Inspired by Parenting Columnist Vanessa McManus and her ordeal with bedtime tantrums, how do you deal with temper tantrums with your youngster? What are the best tips and tricks to discipline and calm your child?

Canton Parent Talk is a new feature on Canton Patch that is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms, dads and families.

Canton Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for parents and their families right here in Canton.

Each week our Moms Council of experts take your questions, give advice and share solutions. We also want to hear your ideas, questions, opinions and solutions!

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children, tweens and teens.

This will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks? What is the best bedtime for baby? How do I deal with my college freshman and curfew during break? Any idea what do with my teen and texting limits?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a question.
