Dentistry question and CTTS by
LFortier
Younger DD took a bad fall in PE yesterday and broke off one
of her front teeth. Permanent tooth, of course. There is
temporary bonding material on it now, and they will put on
the permanent stuff to build it back up to full size in
several weeks. On our estimate for that visit, there is a
line...

Diapers: Disposable vs. Service by
Greg Hiscott
We are expecting to have our first child in January 2004. Can
anybody provide information regarding the pros and cons to each

Thanks in advance.

Did you get your kids a flu shot? by
Laura E. Brooks
Hi guys,
I'm a little worried about the flu. I live in NC, which isn't one of the
states currently designated an "epidemic" state, but it does have heavy
regional outbreaks in some areas. Last year, the kids got something which I
assume was the flu, and I've never seen them so knocked out. They...

Disagreement about third child by
Scott
My wife and I have an 8-year-old son, and a 5-year-old daughter. My wife would like a third. There are times when my wife accepts not having a third, but she'll frequently find herself wanting another. She is worried she'll regret not having another one, and the ones we have are growing some...

Disaster plan in place for your family? by
Claire Petersky
It's difficult for me to believe that there has been zero traffic on
misc.kids.moderated regarding Hurricaine Katrina, when practically every
other on-line forum (web or usenet) has had so many messages.
In any case, considering Katrina's aftermath, I was wondering what people's
disaster...

Displeased with son's friend choices by
Nevermind
I guess this is an age-old problem. Here's our version of it: My 8 YO
loves "trouble". He is extremely bright and curious and has always
sought knowledge of all kinds, including and especially that of the
forbidden sort. He is utterly fascinated by sex, curses, and the like.
He has just started...

do gender-neutral kids bicycles exist? by
Frank Nospam
Hello to MKM. Apologies for posting a non-joke today.
My daughter would like her first bicycle for her birthday this spring.
My wife and I think this is a great idea. We'll probably buy bikes
for ourselves as well. So which one should we choose...
Disney Princess Bike? My Little Pony Bike?...

Does "no presents" really mean that? by
D&K Condron
I recently went to a child's birthday party that requested no presents, but
a dish of something yummy to share instead.
Well, out of 8 moms invited, I was the *only* one who did not bring a gift.
Did I miss something? I admit that I am new at the mommy thing, but to be
the only one who did as...

Does Carbonation really damage teeth? by
Robyn Kozierok
My children's dentist just told me not to ever let my kids have any
carbonated drinks because carbonation is "pure evil" because the
carbonic acid produced by carbonation erodes teeth. I find this
hard to believe. I can see that sugary carbonated drinks would have
the same issues as other sugary...

Does your preschooler sit at the dinner table with the family? by
Robyn Kozierok
My boys are 4, 8 and 11yo. When we sit down for a family dinner,
we don't currently force the 4yo to join us. We sometimes give him
something to eat earlier if he's hungry, but more often that not
he basically skips dinner, or eats only a few bites. He's very tiny,
but completely healthy. But...

Draconian? Or Loving Parent? by
Eddie
Today (June 3), USA TODAY ran a full, center-page spread, titled:
'Keeping Teen Drivers Safe Begins at Home', and it was
generally very good indeed.
But on the front cover of Section B of the newspaper was a brief
article: 'Black Boxes For Cars Slow to Catch On.'
Apparently, teens around the USA...

Exam prep disaster by
Penny Gaines
R, the 10yo, will be sitting his 11+ tomorrow. UK readers will know
that is the exam that decides which school he goes to next year. Will
it be the fast-paced academic school - known as a grammer school - or the
school for the less academically able.
The exam tests "verbal reasoning", or how...

Example of teaching religion in the schools by
Claire Petersky
My younger daughter's class is reading The Secret Garden. As a way to
learn more about the background of the story, the class has been divided
up to do reports and presentations on traditional English and Indian
culture. For example, one small group is doing the food of India, and
another, the food...

Expulsion Notification by
Scott L
Over the weekend, at a neighborhood party, I learned that
4 of DD's classmates had been suspended, and maybe expelled
for smoking pot in the boys' room (during the last class
period!). If such a thing happened in your kid's school,
would you expect some kind of notification from the
principal...

Family Bed by
P. Tierney
Is there any "best" time to transition a child away from a family bed
and into her/his own? Mine just turned two, and all is very good. I
don't wish to create a problem, but I'm wondering, generally, if there
are research or experience-based "good" times for a child, developmentally,
to make the...

Family Calendar management by

I was wondering how people manage family calendars. I can put things
on my husband's home calendar with my work calendar, but his home and
work calendars are separate. The girls maintain paper calendars to
track their own lessons and homework.
Lately, what seems to be working for us is to have an...
