advice needed: toddler indecision by
Richard
My 32mo daughter often says "no" when she means "yes". As a simple
example, my wife leaves in the morning before I do (I take DD to
daycare). As my wife is leaving, she'll ask DD for good-bye hugs and
kisses. DD sometimes says, no, she doesn't want any. Maybe she's
playing and doesn't want to...

Pop Music that children might like by
Ann Porter
When I was young (was I young once?) Nitty Gritty Dirt Band had a top 40 hit
with a song called "House at Pooh Corner." It's also been recorded by Kenny
Loggins (who wrote it, I think) and it's been covered by the Indigo Girls. I
read something today that reminded me of the song, so I downloaded...

I am looking for a night light that will automatically shut off after about
half an hour. My 2.5 yo always complains that it is "too dark" when we

Does your preschooler sit at the dinner table with the family? by
Robyn Kozierok
My boys are 4, 8 and 11yo. When we sit down for a family dinner,
we don't currently force the 4yo to join us. We sometimes give him
something to eat earlier if he's hungry, but more often that not
he basically skips dinner, or eats only a few bites. He's very tiny,
but completely healthy. But...
