My daughter who is 12 years old sucks her thumb. She does it all the time, the only times she doesnt do it is when she is active doing something, usually with her hands. She also holds her ear while she sucks her thumb? Because she has been sucking her thumb so long, she has a terrible overbite,...

Does anyone keeps stats (like the QDN generated stats in alt.mothers) for this channel? If so can you post them? I'm not an Agent user. Thanks.

....Hmmmm god forbid your child should actually be exploited or missing. Looks as if CPS retailiates against families (by posting irrelevant photos) September 1, 2003 Dear Governor Kulongoski, My name is Michael McLaren, I am 17 and a half and because of the actions of employees of the State of...

I'm planning on taking Julie to a "pre"-pre-school, especially for 2 1/2 to 3 year-olds who are just a little young for regular pre-school this fall. It's only for one hour and fifteen minutes, twice a week, and is billed as a "first time away" class, so I'm hoping they'll be well prepared for...

My DS#1 is supposed to have his wisdom teeth out soon, but I found out that he's only having a local anesthetic with IV sedation, rather than general anesthetic. His teeth are not impacted -- yet -- so I don't think this is going to be a huge deal, but I wanted to see if others had experience with...

Well now I'm pretty miffed. I called Kaiser on Monday to ask exactly what our "mental health" coverage is like with them. It took them until this evening to get back to me. Turns out we have very good mental health benefits--each family member is allowed 20 visits per year...

Hi everyone! I know I was participating in some active threads prior to this weekend, and I kind of stopped -- I've been hoping to keep up with usenet more as of late, and I know some people here are much better about that sort of thing than am I, so I wanted to apologize and let you all know...

Okay, I'm trying to plan a Halloween party of sorts for nine, high functioning Downs Syndrome teens. We have a tradition of inviting this particular class to our library for Halloween. Last year we mostly played a few games and had ourselves a fancy feast. This year the drama department would like...

"Society" wrote in message men are people too "Men" like Ken Pangborn make life as a man more difficult than it has to be. He uses fake credentials to promote a business that he claims "helps" men but it doesn't. He is also an elected member of the Kook of the...

Why exactly are we told to boil the water before we mix it with powdered formula? Hubby figures it's to kill bacteria--he is still concerned about minerals so right now we run the water through the Brita filter, then boil it. But when I was asking advice about travelling with the kidlets, some...

What is it with aggressive mothers with children in their strollers? I've witnessed a few incidents where aggressive (maybe single?) mothers have rudely pushed their way through innocent crowds (the crowds are usually minorities, which is no coincidence) screaming obscenities. Who do they think...

I'm looking for good series books for kids. Alena's really young still, but it doesn't hurt to start now. Classics are what I'm REALLY looking for, but what are some other suggestions? Thanks -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com

Hip to be square Thirteen-year-old Elise Peterson wants to know why teenage boys don't talk to her. Though the McLean girl tries to dress in the latest Britney Spears style, she has no luck. at http://www.washtimes.com/culture/20031007-095659-9821r.htm

DS knows Spanish and English. We speak English at home, and the dcp only speaks Spanish. So, when it comes time for kindy in a few years, DS will have the opportunity to be in a dual immersion program where 50% of the classes are in English and 50% are taught entirely in Spanish. I like...
