We live in a rural area and there are lots of flies, spiders, and other bugs around our house. This summer my daughter (32 months) is terrified of them even though I have always tried to bring her attention to bugs I would find, and tell her whatever I do know about them. We went to the park...

Hello folks: My DD is in first grade and I am amazed at the ton of stuff she needs to carry to school. Anyway, I cringe each morning to see her homework, snack bag, winter gear, sneakers, and lunch bag all crammed into her backpack. Sneakers and snack bag together is a recipe for sickness! Please...

What has happened with teenagers and music? I thought that by the time I became middle-aged, I would deplore what teenagers called "music" and wouldn't be able to see what it was all about. But it seems that teenagers listen to music that is more or less the same as the music I listened to when I...

My son is 2 years, 10 months old. We've had him out of nappies for the past two days, without any noticeable success so far in persuading him to use the potty. Now, of course I know that this is early days yet and too early to assume that things won't start to click given a few more days. DH...
