How do you get a child to eat? Once children can speak, they can tell you 'I don't want that much' but until they can, they either protest noisily, don't eat the food (through protest) or only eat some of it. |

What are some suggestions for punishing a child? @pramodc84: are you serious? That article recommends using threats and violence - on children? |

What would be a effective way to explain pornography? Notting Hill may be a bit too classy/romancey to be an effective analogy IMO. |

What would be a effective way to explain pornography? Your analogy makes pornography out as 'weird' - but worldwide sales figures would disagree. |

When your child says something embarrassing in public… how do you deal with it? Thanks for the detailed response. I guess I can already see that the distraction technique failed here (a Witch being more interesting than a Dragon that day!) and so rational reasoning prevailed. His grandmother just says "Oh no it isn't" which descends into a pantomime act, but I guess that moves away from the embarrassing statement. |

Programming with a baby Programming is best done with a computer. While a baby has copious I/O and loud audio, the voice recognition-based user interface mechanism takes up to 18 months activate although you may get somewhere with gesture-based input :o) |

Is “hot saucing” bad parenting? @Existential Consequentialist: How about explaining to your child: "Every time you are naughty, Santa Claus drowns a kitten"? Will that work? |

What aspects should we consider when choosing a name for our child? For point number 8, did you mean "does not feature highly in the Bible" (e.g. not Simon, Peter, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,..) |

What aspects should we consider when choosing a name for our child? @Malachi: just look at any childs' face when someone gets their name wrong - they are disappointed and upset. Avoiding telemarketing is not great reason to call your child something unpronouncable. |

What aspects should we consider when choosing a name for our child? +1 for avoiding the top 10 - look at how popular 'Jack' has been in the last 10 years and every 3rd baby girl I meet is named 'Sophie/a'. |

Is Doctor Who too scary for children? Disagree about TorchWood being unscary - the 'Children of Earth' special had some harrowing scenes, even for adults! |
