Is the “cry it out” approach harmful? I read the reference to the "mommy-daddy come help me" differently. I don't think it literally means the baby is saying the words, if so, in my opinion you have waited too long to teach your child to sleep. I thought more it was the crying that the parent is translating into meaning this, which might not be what it means at all. |

Is the “cry it out” approach harmful? Your question is extremely well thought out and complete. Therefore it requires a complete answer, which I will try to provide at a later date, when I have some time to flesh it out. Good job on a great question. |

How do we get an eight month old back to sleeping in his crib? @TorbenGundtofte-Bruun just because you don't like something does not make it wrong. It is the best thing for the child even though it causes unhappiness. My children are happy, well adjusted, and feel loved even though I had them cry it out because it was the right thing to do to teach them what is best for them |

Should I replace the food my 18 month throws on the floor? I agree, however, when food is thrown on the floor it is no longer any good, but I would not serve more. It is a sign that he/she is done. If the child is hungry later provide a healthy snack, but dinner/lunch is over when food goes on the floor intentionally. |

What studies exist regarding computer usage and computer game playing that support limiting access? Limit does not mean outlaw. Yes, some computer time and computer interaction, at the appropriate age (maybe another question?) is a necessity in today's world. (I teach technology in grades K through three and I am a big proponent of teaching computer skills very early. However, we do need to be careful and therefore limit 'screen time' in order to ensure that our children learn face to face interaction. |
