Well, we hadn't watched it before, and we had fun. (For those who aren't in Oz, it was a family with 4 kids living in a McMansion so big it was easy to lose track of them, and the 3yo was a runner. Dad constantly undermined Mum's attempts at discipline.) At one point, DH turns to me and says, "I...

Did you know that about 1 in 5 children were solicited for sex in the past year. Or that 1 in 33 children received aggressive sexual solicitations, meaning that the child was threatened, asked to meet, was called on the phone, or received mail or gifts. 1 in 4 children were exposed to photos of...

We recently had our neighbour come over to take a look at our fence (since we are re-doing the fence and we share it with them) (Until now, my 2.3 year old son had never talked to them, we saw him outside rarely, and I told DS that, that is the man in that house. ) DS was happily running around...

KICKING & SCREAMING A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2005 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): **

We are there! My toddler (2y 2mo) is consistently going peepee in the potty chair. but she's not staying dry if I don't take her to the toilet. I went ahead and bought the pullup diapers because she's ripping off her regular diaper and wanting to use the potty chair all the time. Her day care...

I was going to show someone a website I found that had child seatbelt system that incorporated a buckle that required a magnetic key to open them. It used these keys on both the harness the child wore and in the straps that went around the seat. (She has an autistic kid that seems to escaping)...

First of all, please pray for my family. I need to get as many people as I can as fast as I can to tell me its ok to ask for help online for my two disabled daughters. Many people think I am begging for money but I'm not. I desperately need help with clothing, food, and medical debts/gas to see...

Please take a moment to read this. I realize that it may sound strange, but we are desparate in our efforts and are willing to try anything to help our dear sick friend. This costs absolutely nothing, and will take about one minute of your time. This is not a hoax, as so many of these emails...

I am having a very similar problem, but with a much younger child. My DS is 2.5 He was very polite and well mannered until his best friend was moved up to the next class. Now, there is only one little boy in his class that he is close in age with, and quite frankly, that little boy is mean and...

My 28 mo is just over 38 inches tall and weighs 38 lbs. He's been gaining about a lb a month for the past 4-5 months, and may well pass the 40 lb mark in the next few months, at age 2.5. He's currently in a Britax Roundabout, which goes up to 40 lbs. Apparently, kids shouldn't be moved into a...

All, I have a 3 year old son. He is great, loves to talk about his day, "read" books, do puzzles, run around etc. We have found that his first response to any question is "I don't know." Even though he very well does know. We have tried to joke him out of this habit by saying something totally...

Remember a month or so ago when I mentioned that our baseball coach had a thing against black baseball pants? Well, we went ahead and got the grey ones, and I'll admit that it looks nice when the team is all one color. But then picture day came. My son is on the Pirates -- whose colors are...

Thanks to everyone who responded with meal plans for what foods toddlers eat outside the U.S. last time this message was posted a few weeks ago. Your responses have been noted and will go towards a fun and informative article for parents everywhere. I am hoping to gather more comments from anyone...

My fourth grade daughter blathers on and on about Tamagotchis. Seems like "everyone" (her words) in her class has one, generally more than one, and anyone not having one is a social outcast at recess. I object to her having one on several grounds: 1. She's whining about wanting one. I've never...
