What are the merits of teaching a child to type correctly at the expense of time practiced with handwriting? How old is she? I think if she's still "practicing handwriting" rather than "using handwriting" then it's too early. Once handwriting is primarily a tool for getting her work done that's a good time to introduce touch-typing. |

Can I help settle my child and make them enjoy nappy changing Is there a particular part of it he doesn't like? I'm wondering if he'd like some no-nappy time in between? |

How do you prevent a toddler from waking too early? Yep, they're good, but will rise slowly and simulate a sunrise. More for adults. I mean something like this: gro-clock |

How to respond when your kid is being ridiculed by another kid when the other kid's parent(s) are present? :-) Good point! I'll edit it. If you ever do it please use a Mario voice and let us know how it goes. It'd probably help as the tone I had in mind was not at all cross, but more "factual". |

How to remove brown stains from colored underwear? Using biological washing powder is good when removing "biological remnants" (e.g. poo)! |

Is complimenting children where they can hear it good or bad? Good answer and interesting link. Is it wrong that I want to reward your answer with a vote up? ;-) |

How can I negotiate with a toddler successfully? I would suggest you maybe counted to aggressively? The trick here is to have a tone that implies you are giving them time to comply, rather than your fuse is running out. Further to that when you get to 3 you have to calmly carry out the punishment rather than be angry. |

How do I get an easily distracted 5 year old to eat more? Appreciate the thought @Beofett. In the UK 5 year olds are not pre-schoolers. He is in Year 1 of the schooling system, which comes after Reception year. Before that is pre-school (i.e. 3-4 years old). |

How do I get an easily distracted 5 year old to eat more? The reward afterwards simply encourages him to stop eating sooner, rather than finish eating quicker, unfortunately! Tried that one. Thanks for the snack tip. V helpful. |

How do I get an easily distracted 5 year old to eat more? Love the idea of "talking him out" :-) So when the time-box times-out do you just remove his meal? And after that he's allowed to snack if he wants? |
