thumbsucking coming to an end by
Karen G
We have been warily watching our second daughter suck her thumb as she
has reached 3 this year. She sucked her thumb before she was born, so

her ears pierced and has been talking about it since--particularly
because we said...

Privacy vs safety: teen level by
dragonlady
A few days ago, I was having a conversation with my 17 yo daughter that
I repeat periodically, reminding her that if she is ever in a situation
where the driver (whether it is her or someone else) has been drinking
or using drugs, I will gladly come and pick her up to get her home
safely; she only...

Karen G
My first child is going off to preschool in five weeks. I know that
this isn't a big deal, but it is for me. How do I encourage her

Last year we went to the Canadian Rockies and we checked our Kelty

side, false positives do occur, and it was negative for everything else the kit
tested, like bacteria and pesticides). I'm taking the kids in for blood draws

Gameboy advance - need games with no reading required by
Frosty
We're buying my son a gameboy for his birthday. I tried the "Zelda"
game beforehand and I think it will frustrate him with all the text
messages interrupting the game. He'll be 6 and doesn't read more than
a few words and phrases. Any experience with titles for the gameboy
advance that have...
