I have two boys and a girl. They all like different foods. I insist on making them the same thing, which is often a battle but getting easier since I have not back downed once. I want to know if anyone has any kid- friendly dinner and/or suggestions for finicky kids. I am concerned about protein...

Anyone been through this? My seventh grader found out yesterday that she's been assigned to a new teaching team. Our area has huge population growth, and they've hired two new seventh grade teachers (taking the school from 12 to 14 7th grade homerooms). They randomly chose the students to be...

My 12 year old is getting poor grades in school because she doesn't turn in her homework (class work and tests are fine). The homework organization has been an issue since forever, and we've tried everything. Any suggestions?

Several years ago I developed a short paper and pencil screening test which, in a small pilot study, discriminated between ADHD, LD, and control subjects.

Greetings all. I'm a father of one teenaged daughter, and another teeneager-to-be (not too soon, thank the Gods!) As with any household, the use of the computer has become quite an issue. Parental controls on my AOL account don't seem to be enough. She still manages to find her way to...

My daughter walks or rides her scooter or bike to her elementary school every day. Because the route goes on a footpath, it's only a quarter mile; the route by motor vehicle is four times longer. The biggest problem right now the kids walking is all the other parents who drive. She only has...

My son, 12yo, is showing an interest in, and some talent for, computer animation. Like a lot of kids, he enjoys comic strips and classic comics and also draws his own comics (his writing is better than his artwork). He's also familiar with a lot of styles of cartoons, from Rocky & Bullwinkle and...

My 5th grade daughter just started private middle school (5th through 8th), and the teacher is assigning what she calls a "weekly." It comes out every Thursday and the work on it needs to be done by the following Thursday. There's probably up to an hour of work a day, if it were evenly spread out...

My husband thinks it's unreasonable for me to buy Halloween candy 3 weeks in advance, and for me to expect that there still to be Halloween candy in the house by Halloween. Since I managed not to eat any Halloween candy, I don't think this is so unreasonable to expect others to exercise...

I have heard and read that the Cranium games are fun and thought of getting one as a gift this year. I didn't realize there are about 10 different versions! Any thoughts on which would be the most appropriate for a family with a 10 and 14 year old boys? Chris

The schools here this year have a *very* short break. DD and DS were in school all day on Friday the 23rd (!!) and they return on Wednesday the 3rd. I think this is just the right size (we don't travel for the holidays). Next year they go back to 2+ full weeks. I'm just curious what others have...
