Hello, world!
I'm a father of one infant and one toddler. My stake in this site is to learn from you, and also to contribute as much as I can!
Based on my own childhood and parenthood, my specialties are (among others): twins, languages, and international aspects. For the record, I'm an identical twin and married to a fraternal twin. I speak 4 languages fluently and I've lived in 5 countries (Europe, Japan).
I enjoy using my experience to help others. That is why I am active at even more SE sites in the StackExchange network on topics that interest me.
Outside of this site, I'm something of a Swiss army knife both professionally and in private, able to juggle a wild variety of things at once. I've worked in every kind of business that uses software. I'm also very good with tools, both IT and mechanic. Whether you need software design or assembling some IKEA furniture, I'm your man for the job. I'm generally soft-spoken but driven by clear principles.
To learn more about me, see my Google+ profile.

How do I motivate a primary schooler to practice musical instrument? Good to hear that she discovered the joy of playing it! The initial struggle might appear "not worth it" to you but it clearly was an obstacle, a difficulty, that had to be overcome first. |

How do I motivate a primary schooler to practice musical instrument? Your alternative instruments may be a bit exotic for some people, but I like the question why piano? Lack of motivation seems to be the cause here, and looking for more interesting (motivating) alternatives is a good idea. |

At what age can a child be left alone in a parked car? Please elaborate. There must be some sort of age indication in the law you mention. Are there also other limitations or conditions, like location, duration, or time of day? |

What stories for children have strong female role models? I've reopened the question, but with the condition that it gets rephrased to avoid being "please give me a list of titles" because that's not the intended purpose of this site as per our FAQ. See also this discussion on our meta site! Also, "no Stack site allows questions like 'what is your favorite source about ...'". |

How and when do I teach my son to use chopsticks? I thought that the pictured "training sticks" were an American crutch but some asking around my Asian friends reveals that they have and use those in Asia as well. |

Pros and cons of C section (Cesarean) delivery? Don't be baffled. For what it's worth, our first child was also an emergency c-section after many hours of natural labor. Certain conditions indicated that consecutive normal births would be more dangerous than c-sections, to the next one was a c-section too. Compared to the ordeal of the natural labor, a planned and orderly c-section was not bad at all - in our case. |

Pros and cons of C section (Cesarean) delivery? "the entire idea of giving birth in a hospital in the first place" is not particularly US-centric; that seems to be commonplace and not even exclusive to Western culture. |
