My 8 year old daughter has vastly outgrown her 20" bicycle (Performance). Yesterday we went to the LBS to see what size bicycle she best fits. She's very leggy, she even doesn't fit onto a child's 24" bicycle - her knees come close to the handlebars and that's with the seat down. The LBS guy...

My son has known exactly what he needs to do since 18 months. The healthy curiosity, has done both on the potty, gets his rewards. Now it is justu a major powerplay. We don't scream and yell. We just let him know that it's his choice...BUT there are certain things he won't be able to do if he...

What is it with people threatening children that they'll get sick from playing in the rain?! I am sooo tired of defending letting the kids play in the rain from these people saying they'll get a cold, or pneumonia! I don't want to be rude but jeez, do these people not take a shower, or go...

My DD is an intelligent kid. She's 4 and she can read/write/do math quite well. Her social/verbal skills are also good. She'll be entering kindergarten next year. I looked at the curriculum and it's quite basic. They teach them sounds of the alphabet, basic math etc. The elementary school has a...

Did you see the TV story Oct 17 about the ""model"" schools in Texas getting high marks through fraudulent reports of dropouts? And the coverups throughout management? The guy who exposed it from a few levels down had to go to the media before it exploded. They were purposefully omitting names...

Recent posts have me wondering, do any people, or theorists that you know, do things other than "time out" when a child engages in a behavior that is clearly wrong? I'm looking for ideas. And I ask because it seems that all theorists, from the more hard-line types to Dr. Sears, recommends using...

Since we were talking about upper and lower case letters, I wanted to say something about teaching shapes to preschool children. This is a pet peeve of mine that happens with preschool teachers not just parents. No one seems to have any problem with teaching kids that a cat is a special kind of...

My baby is 4 months old and weighs about 14-15 lbs. Why wont he sleep through the night?? The pharmacist suggested maybe to cut back on his pablem at night, and give him one spoonful in the morning,noon and night. This seems to be helping him nap better during the day, but he still wakes up...

We always ate at different times when I was a kid, and hardly ever at the table! Schedules are so screwy. But, is it a scheduling thing, or a cultural thing?
