What light colors will help calming down before bedtime? We have the exact same pink flower lights in my daughter's room! They are fantastic! If I have to go in there for some reason in the middle of the night, I can turn them on and disturb my daughter very little. |

How to a talk to my 4 1/2 year old daughter about death? Yikes! I hadn't thought about other people inserting religious connotations. It's not really a problem for us, but if you're not religious but other family members are it could be very confusing! Yeah, if a kid isn't accustomed to sitting through services, a funeral service might be a bit taxing for them. My 5-year-old could handle a decently lengthy funeral, but he sits through church with us every Sunday. My 2-year-old could most definitely not handle more than about 1/2 an hour. |

10 months baby started liking for chocolate Absolutely! This is much more of a boundary issue than a health issue. Sometimes it takes something drastic for grandparents to take parents seriously--can't tell you the arguments my mom and I have had surrounding boundary issues. |

When should little one stop needing milk through night I have read anywhere from 6-9 months if the child is also eating well during the day. Our daughter was a TERRIBLE eater and didn't start going all night without a bottle/sippy cup until very recently and she's 2 1/2 YEARS old! We figured out that it was all comfort associated and it didn't take long to break the comfort association. Our son, however, was very easy and broke himself of night-feedings with no help from us whatsoever. |

15 month baby never sleeps through the night In our experience, it was way more difficult to sleep train both of our children in the 15-18 month age bracket than it was to train them later. It was even more difficult to sleep train our oldest when he was in the 6-9 month window. Maybe some kids are easier to train when they're younger, but ours were not. And my daughter (our second) was ridiculously more difficult to train than my son. However, I also firmly believe that if a child is not responding to your attempts at sleep training (however you choose to go about it) after about a week, then he/she is probably not ready |

5.5. month old not eating as well anymore I haven't had this particular situation, but I do think it's important to remember that kids go through cycles in their eating habits. Is he LOSING weight or failing to GAIN weight? Does he have any other signs or symptoms to make you think he's sick or not feeling well? If not, then he's probably ok. Keep on eye on him, monitor his eating, make sure he's not exhibiting other signs of illness, but if he's happy and healthy otherwise then at his next growth spurt it will probably pick back up again. |

Our 6 years old son doesn't follow instructions very well, bad listening skills, I need help teachers I know have moved on to a behavior scale that is more of a fluid continuum--meaning kids can move up and down the scale throughout the day instead of only down. |

Our 6 years old son doesn't follow instructions very well, bad listening skills, I need help I suspect that "pulling a card" is a behavioral tool used by his teacher. K-2nd grade teachers used a similar system when I was a kid. Each kid started the day with a "good" card, but if we misbehaved during the day the card was changed to indicate our varying levels of disobedience. In first grade, my teacher used a green/yellow/red light system. Everyone started with a green card at the beginning of the day, but the card could be changed to yellow and then to red if a student misbehaved or failed to follow directions throughout the day. This is a little archaic. Most elementary school |
