going out to work vs motherhood dilema by
Abi
Hi,
I am a bit confused of late and wondered if anyone can advise? I am
just about to have my first child, I am incredibly excited and looking
forward to raising her, seeing this as a more important `job' to me,
than `going out to earn a living'. Having worked in a variety of
jobs/careers for the...

preschooler's pants by
Karen G
Are preschoolers intrinsically hard on pant's knees or is mine unique?
3 out of 7 days in the past week, my 4.5 year old has put holes in the
knees of her pants. Now in the defense of the pants, most of them are
two years old (this is the second year of her wearing these pants).
I guess I need to...

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...

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...

Darned Standardized Tests by
Iowacookiemom
We moved to Texas last summer, where the "No Child Left Behind as long as he
passes tests" approach was born and has taken firm root. I thought Iowa was
fanatical about its preparation of kids for standardized tests, but what I'm
seeing here is lightyears beyond anything I have ever seen...

3yo avoiding potty training by
Robyn Kozierok
My youngest is about to turn 3. To say he is not interested in potty
training would be an understatement. He will not sit on the potty
without a diaper on. He seems scared, though he is not afraid to sit
on it in a diaper and PJs (which he does every night after brushing
his teeth while I give...

TV choices and tweens by
beeswing
When is the age where you, as a parent, should start to give in and let the
child make her own media choices, TV in particular, whether or not you agree
with them (within reason)? I'm not suggesting letting The Kid watch "Debbie
Does Dallas," but we got into a major row this weekend over "Pokemon:...

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...

Books in verse for 2.5yo by
Robyn Kozierok
I went to the library yesterday with the goal of picking up some
picture books for my 2.5yo that are written in rhyme. Not books of
poems, but books where the basic story is in rhyme (like Dr. Seuss). I
was surprised by how hard it was to find them by just pulling
likely-looking picture books off...

Allowance tracking on Palm? by
Robyn Kozierok
I know we have a number of Palm users here, so....
does anyone track their kids' allowance on their Palm Pilot?
I've decided to stop giving my kids physical money for their
allowance, and just track their accounts in my Palm. They
usually don;t have their money with them when they want it
anyhow,...

Two broken arms :-O by
Robyn Kozierok
Somehow we got through 9 years of raising boys with no broken bones.
Then last summer Ryan broke his finger. Well, Matthew decided to
do something about our low bone-break-count. He cracked/buckled
a total of 4 bones in his forearms! (In each forearm, right near the
wrist, the larger of the two...

Length of Christmas Break by
Scott
The schools here this year have a *very* short break. DD and
DS were in school all day on Friday the 23rd (!!) and they
return on Wednesday the 3rd.
I think this is just the right size (we don't travel for
the holidays). Next year they go back to 2+ full weeks.
I'm just curious what others have...

Teachers duties by
Tasha
As a prospective teacher (hopefully in division one {grade's k-3]), I
would like to ask parents if they would like to see teacher's doing a
lot more in schools. Is frequent communication with the teacher
something that is very important to you?
Thanks,
Tasha

school "obligations" by

Okay, here I go (grabs flame-retardant blanket). :) I believe my husband's and

We make sure our daughter gets to school fed and reasonably rested, prepared
for school, having done her homework. We support her lessons at home by...

fidgety kids by
Chris
Just had our parent teacher conference for our 6th grade son. The
story is pretty much the same as every year--bright kid but he can't
sit still in class. Of course each year teachers are less tolerant of
his fidgeting, twirling the eraser, pencil tapping, etc. But, like
each year, the teachers...
