Out of touch: generation gap at http://www.washtimes.com/culture/20050516-104832-4835r.htm

I'm asking this here because I'm very concerned about my 16 year old male cousin. Over the past few years, he's gotten in a lot of trouble at school. It seems he started acting up when my uncle married his mom. He tries to act like a "hot shot" and tries to be the center of attention as well as a...

I am having some trouble with my wife. We have two boys, one is 2 months old and the other is 19 months. I work and my wife stays at home. Lately my older son has been whinning and crying. He does this with her, but not as much with me. It's driving my wife nuts and now she wants to sent him...

Hi, My son will be 4 years old next week. He has been potty trained for a year now. He still wears a diaper to bed at night, though. We haven't even been able to switch to pull-ups because the diaper is absolutely soaked in the morning! I admit to not being good about limiting his water...

MAD HOT BALLROOM A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2005 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ***

For those whose 3-5 year old are allowed to use the computer, do you use a particular mouse, or special kid's one, that is easier for them to use? Mine is difficult and my child wants to use it, I'm wondering if there are any that have been good (or not) for young kids. Thanks. P. Tierney

I dont know if you have heard about this so i thought i would share it with you all.. Mr. Rogers is being released on dvd. I simply loved watching this show as i was a child & i am sure that many of us group up on watching the show. Check out this link for more...

I am in a situation I never dreamed would occur! My wife and I, whom have been married for 5 years and together for nearly 12, have one 31/2 year old son. For the last two years we have discussed and ultimately decided over this period of time that we did not want any more children. Therefore, I...

We have had a fair number of conversations where solutions about the issue at hand differs based on your view of rules and their importance of themselves. The two examples that come immediately to mind are the cell phone at school thread of late, and the traveling during the school year thread of a...

My dd (2yo) has been scratching the insides of her elbows. It might have started with dry skin in that place but she scratched it and it's itchy and pink now. I've tried all sorts of creams (baby oil, vaseline petroleum gelly, A&D ointment, baby lotion) nothing works. I've been applying these...

My kid is headed to California for school in the fall, and I am a wreck. I'm trying my best to be supportive, but I can't get the images of all those crazy earthquakes out of my mind! At the same time, I'm so proud of him, all grown up and moving on to bigger and better things! I am going to miss...

I hope someone can offer me some kind hope. I have a 3year old who is speech delayed. Since being evaluated last September by several therapists, he has been into early intervention and speech therapy classes. His hearing is fine. He does say some words, but not full sentences. He has improved a...

I know: High-school teachers take a slew of work home already. Welcome to the real world. With the exception of people making assembly-line widgets, most professionals today work a lot more than eight hours a day. And how many professionals only make $25,000 per year? One more period...

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...

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...

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...
