Hi: I am aware the average age at which long-term retention of memories is 3. What the earliest age known at which a person has had long-term memories that were retained in adulthood ? I seem to be able to remember things that happened when I was 2 years old and slightly earlier. I am now 22...

OK-- so after being *thoroughly* confused by the feeding advice I was getting, I went ahead anyway :-) The kidlets have been introduced to a new pureed food about every week: I alternate between introducing a fruit and a vegetable and so far they seem to like everything. They are also beginning...

SInce there is no longer a naptime around here for Jessica (she'll be 3 in 2.5 months), the hours from 4pm until bedtime are a nightmare. It's worsened by the fact that my husband is getting home from work much later now (almost 7pm), so it's almost 8 pm before she's in bed so that she can spend...

I'm a first time mom and am not sure what clothing to get my toddler for the fall/winter. Does anyone know of a checklist that I could take shopping with me or just have any great advice?

I know a family that is taking a trip to Mexico. Cozumel, I believe. Is there anyone here that is either from Mexico or has taken a trip there with a little one? I can't remember how old her little ones are, but I know they're both fairly young - still in the forward facing/20-40lb car...

At what age would you leave kids alone in the house for a trip to the store? More to the point, what is the youngest age that this would be conceivable? Thanks Stephanie

Hi! Okay, so my husband & I have been watching the show for the last couple of months with our toddler son (he LOVES the show) and we like it too! We saw them in concert in April & they were just terrific. :) As there are quite a few repeats on the Disney Channel, there are some odd questions...

My 13-month old has started crawling and cruising like crazy and the time has come to baby-proof our living room. However, the doorway that separates the living room from the kitchen is 71" wide, and I haven't been able to find a baby gate yet that will fit an opening that large - the largest...

Next year my son will be in Year 5 and his form teacher will again change. The new form teacher is ... well, let's not beat about the bush ... clinically obese. Morbidly so. What's more, from what I've heard from other parents, she drinks can after can after can of sugary fizzy drinks all...

Who's tried it and what do you think of it? Is it something you can learn to do effectively on your own or do you recommend taking a 'workshop.' (eg: http://www.imaginationsigners.com/index.htm) TIA.

Hello, I am posting on behalf of a friend who is at her wits end with her little boy biting. He is just turning two years old and will bite other children every now and then as they are playing. He doesn't seem malicious about it just goes up to them and bites them, in other owrds it's not usually...

Has anyone had a child that has taken this test? Any tips on how to prepare? Can I buy practice tests anywhere? Thanks Jan Tovah 13 Eliana 11 Asher 8 David 5 Shoshana 3

My oldest, now 8, was officially diagnosed with ADHD at age 6 although I pretty much knew before that. He requires *much* closer supervision than my other kids because he doesn't think about the consequences of things before he does them (like swinging a baseball bat without looking around to see...

For those of you that use playtex nurser nipples (we are using the orthodontic ones), do you put them in the dishwasher? I just noticed that the package says not to. I had already done so, and though they're lighter in color, they seem fine. I used to put the avent ones in all the...

My twin boys were born 9/26 at 33 weeks. They were in the NICU for two and a half weeks due to feeding difficulties and apnea/bradycarrdia. They're on Good Start formula, but I did breastfeed for six weeks - it became too difficult for me to continue. They're growing like weeds and have no...

DH and I were discussing whether to put our kids in public or private schools. Our kids are very young (ages 1 and 2) but we would like to atleast have an idea. We can afford private schools but don't know if it's "worth it". We spoke to one or two friends of ours. They just got very passionate...

What's a good age to get a real bike (with training wheels)? My son is almost 4, and I'm thinking of getting him a bike for his birthday. My main concern is that we live on a hill with a fair bit of traffic, so we don't have a great place for him to practice riding without going somewhere...
