My DD is extremely shy. She is very outgoing on her own turff, at home. However, in any outside situation she is extrememly shy. She started preschool this year and isn't talking to any of the teachers or other children. She will play next to other children and she will interact if strongly...

Could you please answer the following questions IF you have a child who has entered 4th grade. It's OK for your child to be older, but I only need information regarding 4th grade math for a client of mine. I need responses from *every* US state as well as from overseas. I'm looking for a wide...

Ahhhh? Maybe like put the Palm leave brandy down for a minute, and maybe like re-write that last note...(hick).., I mean sometime before your next court appearance!! :o)

I hate little kids , stupid little critters. Better don´t have kids anymore and better clone yourself.

Dear All, I thought this would be the proper time to introduce myself . I'm Elly, mom to Erin, she's 5 days old today, our first child, and a very hungry brestfed baby ;-) I lurked here during the pregnancy, and hope you won't mind if I drop in with a question every now and then!

My daughter gets the hiccups on the order of 3-5 times per day. They seem particularly likely to come on if she starts crying for any reason. She's old enough now that they bother her. I can usually cure them by giving her a teaspoon of sugar (drinking water doesn't seem to help), but I hate to...

Some of you probably know me from mkp. I mostly lurk there now due to lack of time to post. We have an almost-3 y.o. boy and a girl due soon. We got into a debate yesterday about where to do time outs. We haven't done much of them so far. Aaron is still in the tantrum stage, and at the moment we...

For about two and a half years, we've had au pairs provide our primary childcare. I've been really happy with both my au pairs, though we did take some time off in between them as I was working part-time for about 8 months after my third was born and didn't need full-time care. My husband,...

Canada is celebrating Thanksgiving next Monday, which is another holiday (Columbus Day) in the US. A few questions: 1. Why Does Canada celebrate Thanksgiving? As I understand it, the holiday originated in the US to commemorate the cooperation between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans...

My daughter is too young to have her own bed, but she's tall and she's started tumbling over her crib rail. I've googled all over the place without finding a product to extend the height of her crib rails in a practical manner, but I can't imagine I'm the only one who's ever faced this problem. ...

I keep wondering if my child is the only toddler on earth who sleeps with not one but two rubber duckies. That also led me to wonder what goofy things other kids sleep with! DS also sleeps with a teddy bear, fwiw. But last night, I had to go search for "big ducky" since he had talked us into...

Hello! My first baby is due any day. Labor will be induced on October 19 if she doesn't arrive before then on her own. My Mom just had a fatal stroke on October 13; I am NOT able to travel to be with family due to the stage of my pregnancy. Mom's services are October 20, and I'm not going to be...

I know that screaming is quite normal behavior in toddlers. Vernon's screaming doesn't generally bother me, and it's mostly of the good-natured, happy squealing variety (although we do, of course, get the occasional temper-tantrum version as well). The reason I'm posting is because there are two...

Whenever Kivi got upset, I would say "Honey" or "Oh, honey" in a sort of (what I thought was) a commiserating tone of voice. Now, whenever she gets upset, she says "Honey, Honey" to me, in a sort of whine, but very similar tone of voice. We just spent a week with some childless friends, and after...
