comment How to encourage toddler to not throw food?
@Rory Alsop: Of course they have internal motivation, the strongest there is. They're hungry.

comment How to encourage toddler to not throw food?
I think that dessert as an incentive for anything is not a good idea. I grant that it works, but it adds an exterior incentive to something that needs to come from internal motivation.

comment How do you control the quantity of sweets and junk food a pre-teen eats?
The Jesuits (I think) used to say "give me a child for the first seven years and he will be mine for life". This is true for almost any habits formed.

comment Is an expensive stroller worth it?
regarding the price/quality issue, I was told that the better quality means that the stroller will alst for more than one child. In my area, the expensive ones were 4-5 times the price of the mid-range. We're not planning on more than 4 kids, so even if we need to buy a new mid-range stroller for each one, it's still cheaper than buying the expensive one.

comment Is punishment necessary?
I'd like to add to this, saying that the best form of punishment is the direct consequence. If you throw a toy across the room, you can't have that toy for a while, if you throw your supper on the floor, you go to bed hungry. Obviously, this is just my opinion, and I don't have research to back it up.
