Automatic inclusion of articles from parent directory

Good morning

I was wondering if you could please let me know how I can DISABLE articles from appearing in the right hand column of my pages.

I have two sections on my website – Articles and Featured Businesses and I would like to include the right hand bar of my blog. I have figured out how to do this and indeed you can see an example on the following pages:

However, my problem is that at the top of each right handside bar, it is displaying not only the items I have specified in the blog widget, BUT also a listing of all the articles and I do not wish to have the articles at the top.

My guess is the reason that it is happening is because under “Page Attributes” I have chosen “Articles” or “Featured Businesses” pages as the parent.

Can you please let me know how I can disable the listing of all the articles and featured businesses from the right handside widget.

I hope what I have said makes sense.

Many thanks
Ivana
