Lately started enjoying critique writing on 1x.com, which has proved to be a great source of inspiration for me.

19h	comment	At what age should sleeping and eating schedules be fixed for a kid? thanks, will study that link.
19h	comment	At what age should sleeping and eating schedules be fixed for a kid? Thanks I would say.
19h	comment	At what age should sleeping and eating schedules be fixed for a kid? @TorbenGundtofte-Bruun Thanks, I have started understanding now. I will ask a separate question on what can be an ideal schedule to be set for a baby when the parents are working.
20h	comment	At what age should sleeping and eating schedules be fixed for a kid? But "how" can you put a 2 week old baby to a "schedule"? The question is "how". Don't you "have to" feed him when he cries and breaks his schedule?
23h	comment	Is there any harm to letting an infant's hair grow long? simply saying "no" without any sources/references is not helpful IMO.
1d	comment	Should we put our a child in a preschool with a primary language we do not speak? Wholeheartedly agreeing. This should be the accepted answer.
1d	comment	Pros and cons of putting an infant in a Daycare `and had a grandmother who spanked him in front of my son).` you might be surprised to know that "beating" kids to improve their behavior is considered very normal in India. I have received several "heavy physical beatings" from my parents, elder brother, and teachers in schools for nearly 12 years. :) Our teachers used to hit the students (of class 8th) on their knuckles with dusters and canes. One teacher used to punch us very hard on our backs! Thanks for your answer though.
1d	comment	Pros and cons of putting an infant in a Daycare @Beofett Now it works for me too. Thanks.
1d	comment	Is it considered harmful in the longer run to frighten the child so that he behaves the way we want? thanks, will take a look there.
1d	comment	Pros and cons of putting an infant in a Daycare @Beofett That link is broken.
1d	comment	Pros and cons of putting an infant in a Daycare Thanks, I just talked to a peer here and she told me that the daycare people have to entertain many children so they resort to TV often. Secondly, they may not interact with a 5 month old until the baby cries, which means they might not be "talking" to the 5 month old at regular periods or checking his nappies to know if they are wet. You think this is common in daycares?
2d	comment	How to teach a toddler a second (foreign) language? BTW, not knowing Hindi can be considered okay in southern Indian states where Hindi isn't given preference over the local language or English. But we don't know where the OP is living in India so simply saying "don't worry much about Hindi" is not useful and in fact harmful IMO.
2d	comment	How to teach a toddler a second (foreign) language? `Don't worry so much about Hindi and other local language. If he speaks English, that will be good anywhere in India.` Harmful advice IMO. A toddler speaking English will NOT have many friends. I have not seen kids (in schools and neighborhood) talking in English while playing or gossiping wherever I have lived in India by now. Please remember we are here talking about a "1.5 years old kid", not an adult who will know how to get his way around! `Btw, kids do not really need to understand 'languages' to be friends,` Kids need to "talk" to each other while playing. You don't agree to that too?
2d	comment	Is it considered harmful in the longer run to frighten the child so that he behaves the way we want? please link the sources.
May 20	comment	Is it considered harmful in the longer run to frighten the child so that he behaves the way we want? +1 for the last edit. Quite enlightening.
May 16	comment	How to motivate yourself to read stories to a kid whom you know cannot understand and respond accordingly? thanks much for clarifying.
May 16	comment	How to motivate yourself to read stories to a kid whom you know cannot understand and respond accordingly? @Beofett Please use some simple english. `since cadence plays a factor.` Cadence means "Balanced, rhythmic flow, as of poetry or oratory." as per freedictionary. Please explain your sentence again. Poem will provide cadence.
May 16	comment	How to motivate yourself to read stories to a kid whom you know cannot understand and respond accordingly? Those links and researches have actually motivated me. Thanks. *Instead of stories, can I sing poems?* That'll be easier since I already know the tune.
May 16	comment	How to motivate yourself to read stories to a kid whom you know cannot understand and respond accordingly? Thanks, that was motivational too.
