My DD1 (2yo) has eczema which is wrecking my poor baby. I first noticed it about a month ago when we went on a vacation and spent lot of time in the pool. It was a $$$ resort with private well maintained pools. I started her on swimming lessons a month prior to we went on that vacation but I...

For hitting and kicking other children! He's been doing this for the past several months, but his teacher has had enough. Some background: He's the youngest of three boys. His brothers are a bit older than he is. He prefers the company of older kids and adults. He's tested as gifted but the...

Ok so I know "it isn't possible" to spoil a baby...Then how come my 3 month seems so spoiled? I love him to death, and maybe it is my fault because I respond to every little whine or cry he makes...But whats wrong with that? Its so funny though, because he really does act "spoiled" and acually...

I'm feeling at a loss on this one so wanted to post for some advice. DS, who is just 23mo. old was sick all weekend: fever for a couple days, then sported a rash after fever broke. So I think Roseola, no big deal. Monday he was much better, although still a bit clingy and grumpy. Tues I had to...

My little guy has been potty trained since mothers day. Question...I still having him sleeping in pull-ups. He has been wet in the morning about 4 times in the past 6 months. on the one side, I would rather keep them. We co-sleep, and a nighttime accident would be a huge pain. on the other, he...

If you’re looking for good car games for kids or travel activities for kids, you should check out the new educational DVD from Banyan (the folks who produced Baby Story, Birth Day, Trading Spaces, Wedding Story, etc.). It’s called “Are We There Yet” and it’s got a Muppet-type host named Miles the...

There have been a couple of threads recently that involved cell phones. If you've read the first one, you know that I am not a fan of cell phones. My kids may very well be the only high schoolers in town that don't have them -- though with my oldest being only 9, I do have quite a while...

THE LONGEST YARD A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2005 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): **

Picture an elementary school. Next to the school are sports fields, then a school bus yard, then our front yard obscured by woods. Walk form the school past the fields (or through the fields), past the school bus parking, past the woods to our driveway. At what age would you permit your child to...

DS is almost 3 1/2 years old and is not potty trained. This is mainly my fault as this has been something I've been dreading doing and have not pushed this at all. I keep hoping that he's one of those kids that will just decide that he's going to do it and train real easy but so far he shows...

We all use household cleaners, detergents,bleach, etc in our homes...but we don't know the negative affects that they have on our health. Many diseases are either caused by or aggrevated by the chemicals we use in our homes. How many people do you know with Asthma, Eczema, Fibromyalga, Cancer,...

i dont know if you have heard about this so i thought i would share it with you all.. Mr. Rogers is being released on dvd. I simply loved watching this show as i was a child & i am sure that many of us group up on watching the show. Check out this link for more...

A question for Co-Sleepers: My four month old (#2 for us) sleeps with us at night, and sleeps well. As I posted before, his naps are short. Maybe it's just him, but I'm starting to wonder if co-sleeping at night, and developing the sleep associations that go with it, are hindering his napping...

Hey everyone!I found this while browsing arround a few weeks ago and gave it a try. ! I'm usually really cautious about these things and so I checked the real postal laws and it really is legal. So I gave it a whirl. I followed the directions and after two weeks it actually made enough to pay the...

Do you think it's worse for a teenager to be in possession of marijuana (not smoking it but just having it) or to verbally threaten a school faculty member by saying something like "you'll regret it" or "I'll get you"? Personally, I think the threatening is worse because it's possible that the...

Headers trimmed to misc.kids. How do you overfeed an infant? My daugher is very good at letting me know when she's had all she wants, and I don't think it would be possible to get her to eat more short of forcing it down her with a syringe-and she'd probably spit it up anyway. She's currently long...

As someone on the autism spectrum myself, self diagnosed with Aspergers, and with a child who, at three years of age, was thought by her GI specialist to be possibly autistic (she's not), I can't believe that I have only just recently stumbled upon the vaccine controversy. What a marvelous job the...
