My 3 yr old (bday 9/9, so more like 3.5 yrs) has a habit, or something, or putting his hands on his ears, and gently pulling them forwards. He has always done this, a kind of rubbing on and pulling of the ears when he was very tired, since he was a little baby - but it's no longer just something he...

Just wondering how others are dealing with kids who just don't seem to care. I have 3 boys - 10, 6 and 3 - and the older 2 just don't seem to care about their belonings (never have actually). Getting them to clean up/put away toys/clothes etc is a nightmare - but at least you'd think they would...

My son wants a chess board birthday cake this year. Sounds simple enough. However, instead of using plastic chess pieces, he wants to know if they could be edible. He thinks it would be fun to play the game and eat the pieces that he takes. I found a chocolate chess set online yesterday that...

Hey, how's everyone doin? I'm new to this site! I was wondering what music everyone enjoyed? I love Motown music, especially playing it for the kids, they seem to enjoy it too. If any of you are big fans/collectors like myself, I thought I'd share this site with you for these special edition...

I cleaned up Peter's room the other day, and the immediate effect was that he went and stuck his head in the girls' room (which is in a really fearful state) and said "You really ought to clean this mess up. Why can't you be neat, like me?" --Helen

I have convienced his mom to take him to a psycologist and now want to stop watching him.. His psycologist told me that if I let him go he would be even more disturbed than he...

I homeschool a daughter with ADHD, and I have found a technique that works more often than anything else I've tried. When I tell my daughter a task to accomplish, I use a variation of the carot - stick routine. I set a timer with a time limit for her to do the task in. Then, I tell her that if...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Montessori Schools in Ottawa (Alexander, Ottawa, or Canadian). Did your child stay for the full-duration (grade 6 equivalent), and if so, how did they do once they left for another school? Did anyone remove their child after Casa (Grade...

Thank you so much for all your replies and advice. I'm constantly amazed at the calibre of people and the amount of learning on these newsgroups. Please add to the advice if you have any more and Thanks again!

I don't have kids, but I wonder about this often. Michele Landsberg ("Reading for the Love of It") wrote there are no easy answers to weaning kids off trashy books/comics and all she does when kids talk on and on about them is utter a cold "mm-hmm," just as if they were talking about TV. In other...
