My just-turned-3yo son sleeps with a pacifier. Recently, he's started chewing on them very vigorously before he falls alseep. He's chewed holes in all the pacifiers we had. I bought 2 news ones and he chewed through both of those in a total of 3 days! I know we should just wean him from the...

I know school supplies come in fads, and I'm well aware that what was necessary last year may not be wanted this year but..... This year teachers in our middle school seemed to have outlawed the large binder. Last year you HAD to have a zippered binder, 3". This year, every teacher wants...

Hi. I am a simple teenager and i have one question for whom may be reading this. It is why do you care if there isn't a boys go tech site. I mean i really don't care. I am all for equal rights. But do you know what it is because girlsgotech.com is sponsored by the girl scout committee. If you...

I picked up a very old Gerry backpack. It is a blue canvas sling on an aluminium frame, shoulder straps but no waist strap. It has an adjustable flap inside, which we assume is the baby height adjustment, is this correct? There is a strap and buckle on the inside left of the seat and a loop on...

Hi everyone, I have a problem that has been eating at me off and on for a couple of years now. At the beginning of 2nd grade -- at the orientation -- we met a new girl and her mother. We worked hard to help them integrate into the new school. We invited the daughter over, introduced them to...

I'm looking for some honest responses. No explanation is required, and no one will be called upon (by me, anyway) for their responses. Anyone can answer, regardless as to whether or not it would apply to you. Question: If you were looking for a full or part-time at-home daycare provider and you...

I grew up without my father-the **** left before I was born. And I must say I am 100% fine, completely well adjusted and have no problems with the situation. All these "fatherless" kids will be fine, and if they're not the problem can't simply be dumped at them having no father-that's a cop...

Do you have a clever trick for dressing children's shoelaces? My son loosely ties tennis shoe laces such that they always fray even after I put glue on the ends, melt them, or knot the ends. Here is a picture of his shoes that I'm dealing with...

I was all excited to get a spot at our neighbourhood daycare centre for my 22-month old, who has been at home until now, but a naysayer relative has made me wonder if I'm hurting my daughter more than doing her good by putting her in daycare at this age, in winter, no less.

Does anyone know of any good articles/studies on how well IQ scores in childhood correlate with success in adulthood, given all the inherent inaccuracies of the tests? I realise this is a pretty broad topic, but I know there are some well-informed people here, and the subject has come up for...

My mother, who is very involved in her life, would be at the hospital as the designated Bug manager so that they can go in and out of the room as seems appropriate. But of course I wouldn't...

So you're sitting in your home, with your family, watching the half time show during the Super Bowl and a breast is flashed on your screen! Wow! Big deal .... Why are so many wining about the vulgarity of this incident? And now the FCC threatens to levy fines on all CBS affiliates who showed the...

Hi. My two year old has pale gums. I noticed it several months ago and tried to find something on the internet, but found nothing. He is in good health other wise. He eats healthy foods and lots of water. He has milk and all dairy products too. I have not limited his diet in any way, except...
