HI We live in the evergreen area of San Jose, California. We are looking for a preschool for our 3 year old daughter. She is a bright, active kid and learns things fast. But she gets distracted easily and has problem with staying focussed on anything for more than a few minutes. Maybe she is just...

Happy Easter! So last night, we colored 15 boiled eggs (we drew on them with crayons, and then dyed them) and then put them in the fridge. While we were asleep, the Easter Bunny came and hid them in the house for Hypatia to find. I heard Hypatia in the middle of the night talking grumpily to...

I was wondering how people manage family calendars. I can put things on my husband's home calendar with my work calendar, but his home and work calendars are separate. The girls maintain paper calendars to track their own lessons and homework. Lately, what seems to be working for us is to have an...

Hi folks, Hypatia is almost 3 (can you believe that???) Anyway, for about the past 3 months, she has repeatedly insisted that she is a boy. She will, at times, get angry when I say things like "what a nice little girl you are" and will say, loudly, "no, I'm a boy!" Anyone think this is...

For various reasons, we did not push cup training prior to 11 months with our 4th baby. (With my other children we got them using the cup at about 8 or 9 months and finished using bottles at 12 months.) She is really resistant to using the cup. Any suggestions, things to try? Our basic...

Hi everyone, A very close friend is having a rough time with what seems to be post- partum depression/anxiety. I'm looking for ways to help long distance. She gave birth to her third child, a girl, in September, bringing that baby home the same day her oldest daughter started Kindergarten. ...

My brother's step-daughter, D, for various reasons, is not able to really care for her oldest son, S, at this time. S just turned 14. My brother and sister-in-law signed papers a week ago and he is going to be living with them. S has stayed with them on a semi-long-term basis before (several...

Just had our parent teacher conference for our 6th grade son. The story is pretty much the same as every year--bright kid but he can't sit still in class. Of course each year teachers are less tolerant of his fidgeting, twirling the eraser, pencil tapping, etc. But, like each year, the teachers...
