What should I do when my daughter's health is affected by the cats at my parents home when we visit? After my mom saw how bad the bites were after Thanksgiving, she felt extremely guilty and immediately took measures to eliminate the fleas. They weren't in the bed, they were apparently in the carpet! Since my kids play in the floor a lot, it's not surprising that she got bitten. Since then, we've visited my parents a couple of times and returned with no flea bites so apparently the solution worked. Sadly, my parents just had to put this cat down so they are currently cat-less. On the plus side, hopefully that means no cat-related issues including fleas anymore! |

When to tell a child he didn't really win My 5-year-old is in a similar phase right now. I have no suggestions on fixing the behavior, just wanted you to know you're not alone! |

3 year old will not take a nap some days @Aitch: Of course it wasn't ideal. Lots of 3-year-olds are still napping--mine just didn't happen to be one of them. If I'd had my way, he would have continued to nap until he was 4. Not sure why this particular point illicited such a snarky response from you. |

Is it harmful to let a 4 month old baby eat an Easter peep? We don't actually know that the child was "endangered". The OP merely said that her friend "gave her 4 month old baby an Easter peep", she did not stipulate the method in which the peep was delivered. For all we know, the mother pureed the peep in a blender first or only gave the baby a tiny nibble which was virtually impossible to choke on. If the mother did indeed give the child a piece of ANY food that was too large for the child to chew and swallow properly, then the issue truly becomes one of endangerment and NOT a matter of what she fed the child. |

Should we cut our infant's hair? FWIW: We first cut my son's hair when he was six months old. He's five now and he has plenty of hair. Other than a cowlick that makes it stick up in the back, there's nothing wrong with his hair. I am 100% sure that the cow-lick had nothing to do with getting it cut @ 6 months. |

Does daycare mentally damage children under three? Well, I do tend to agree with him somewhat. I do know people who drop their kids off at daycare, pick them up in the afternoon, and interact very little with their children during the hours they do see them--nights, weekends, and holidays included. However, I know other parents who try to make every moment they have with their children count even if they do attend daycare during the day. But to lay all the blame at the feet of the daycares is misleading. Just because you send your child to daycare does not absolve you of your parenting responsibilities in the same way that sending your |

Does daycare mentally damage children under three? I would like to know exactly what constitutes a child being "ready" for daycare. What is appropriate for one child may not be appropriate for another. Are we to assume that all one-year-olds aren't ready for daycare? I haven't read the article, but does the author give a set for criteria for determining exactly when a child might be "ready" for daycare? |

I can't motivate my 13 year old twins to get school work turned in Yeah, that certainly adds a whole new dimension to the situation! Crossing my fingers you'll be able to find a way to get them some help. Having your mom just up and walk out on you is definitely going to leave you with some emotional baggage. |
