Online resources of quality cartoons for toddler @daniel.sedlacek I will see if I can find some online stuff. Although this is a cartoon, leapfrog DVD's are great. Even at such a young age your child can learn letters and they are very entertaining. The older ones are better: Letter Factory, Word Factory, Story Factory. The newer ones are a bit less educational. As well, Baby Einstein DVD's are fun for the kids and great for quiet time. |

How young is too young to start wearing makeup? Remember to think about why the child wants to wear makeup (I am assuming parents are telling children that they should wear makeup). It could be a self esteem, I feel ugly issue (which is what commercials teach) if it is this must be dealt with and discussed. |

Teaching a (almost) 3 year old she can fall asleep on her own +1 this is exactly what I would have written. I just want to emphasis moving out of the room slowly, first stop holding hands then progressively move further and further away until you are out of the room. I am going to add an answer as to deal with night time wake ups. |

How to deal with others' children who do not respect my authority? it sounds to me that this example is a school problem, the school must know that this child a problem and should be monitoring him more. |

Does pulling kids out of class for special help negatively influence them? If sound as if you didn't actually need to be pulled out. what if the child has learning issues and needs to be pulled out to gain academically? |

Fostering a relationship with a relative your child doesn't like +1 I agree with you, however, don't you think being polite and socially appropriate is an important thing to teach. As well, how do you get the relative to accept the child's boundaries, set up by the child? You have no control of the relative's reactions. And further more, in this case the relative does not respond appropriately but rather becomes a child and reacts with meanness toward the child. |

Fostering a relationship with a relative your child doesn't like @DA01 I don't particularly like this relative either, however children don't necessarily keep their feelings to them selves out of respect for their elder. I suppose I will add to the question that this may be a solution, however I would love to know how to teach this. |

At what age or developmental milestones is it safe to leave children unattended? I started a chat room about this as I think that is what this is turning into, however, I have been unable to post a question and I don't have time to deal with this now, but will try in the morning to get it up and working. I am not sure how they work on this site, but I am trying it out. |

At what age or developmental milestones is it safe to leave children unattended? I agree it does have to do with other things other than age such as maturity, knowing what to do in a given situation, being able to entertain herself. However age also has something to do with it, just because she is mature doesn't mean she isn't 7 and therefore does 7 year old behaviors that are NOT conducive to staying home alone, even for a short time. |

How to help a child understand why she'll move back to her old school again? It has to do with her learning style, but I am not sure a 4.5 year old can understand that. |

At what age or developmental milestones is it safe to leave children unattended? @afrazier sounds like you will only be doing it to placate her, at age 7 it is not a choice, it is a necessity that she participates in grocery shopping if you need to go because she is a child. |

At what age or developmental milestones is it safe to leave children unattended? @afrazier Don't you think there is a middle ground between 7 and 15? 7 is still very young for alot of things they may seem mature enough for. I have an 8 year old daughter who has been older than her age from birth and probably could be safe searching youtube or staying home alone but that doesn't mean she needs to do it. |

Is AnimalJam a good and safe place for kids online and does it merit paying for the membership? I would broaden this question to not be specific to one website, but how to evaluate websites in general. Below I answered both questions. |
