How can you deal with tantrums without spanking? I imagine that that works for some children. However, don't think that such a punishment is a good way of dealing with tantrums - finally, taking the child away something of his possessions is just another way of violence, isn't it? |

How can you deal with tantrums without spanking? @Prakash: "sometimes spanking" - even "sometimes" is too much! Timeout is ok IMHO, however it is better I think if you show that mum/dad needs a timeout to calm down than "arresting" the child in his room or in his bed. So the timeout should be no punishment, but should be a time to calm down for both sides. |

How can you deal with tantrums without spanking? @Prakash: Why do you force him to drink milk? How do you know that he does not drink enough milk? We've been worrying also a long time that our child does not eat and drink enough, but sometime we learned that he'll demand foot when he's hungry. As long as there are no physical "problems" of underfeeding (your doctor should be able to tell), there should be no need to force a child eating/drinking, I think. |

How can you deal with tantrums without spanking? @tomjedrz: I don't think that Ilari wanted to suggest rewarding a tantrum by a cookie. However, I think as "violent" as a tantrum might look, it should not be answered with violence. Sure, it should not be "successful" for the kid, so if it once gets what it wanted by a tantrum, it will try it again next time with this successful way. |

What are the pros and cons of having an advanced student skip Kindergarten? +1 for taking into account the parents' ego. |

How can I help my kids to sleep comfortably (and safely) on an overnight drive? @Anonymouse: maybe you'll have to collect some reports about severe car accidents for your wife? This seems to be quite hard, but if she does not want to understand which high risk there is already by a collision at relatively low speed (like 40..50 km/h)... |

How can I help my kids to sleep comfortably (and safely) on an overnight drive? @torbengb: you're absolutely right: even if you do always drive carefully and do never make any mistake yourself (which can not be guaranteed, IMHO) there are many other people on the road which also make mistakes and many of them are much less carefully... |

Why has my infant stopped eating? +1 for this answer. We also had to learn that mostly, our child knows quite well how much food he needs (some day it is unbelievably much and the other day he eats very few). As long as they behave more or less "normal", I would not mind. However, if you say "she is not herself" and it is not only for one or 2 days, I also would recommend consulting a doctor. |

Will getting child care from a non-native English speaker impact my child's language development? ... E. g. "our" nursery school can "keep" children from 7am until 5pm. So they might (for sure, only in the most extreme case) be 50 hours per week in the nursery school of maybe 84 hours in total they are awake per week. That would be nearly 60% of the time. |

Will getting child care from a non-native English speaker impact my child's language development? That's right, however I think it also is a question of proportions. Many children spend much more time of the week (awake) in a day care or nursery school than with their family. |
