How do you teach your children about regional colloquialisms? You moved to Pittsburgh, didn't you? Your car needs washed? |

Is it reasonable/common for a daycare to show TV shows during the day? After all, what are you paying for? |

What are the risks of posting baby pictures online? -1: This post does not really answer the question, but just ignores the risks in favor of a "Let's see what happens!" approach. There are risks, and it should be up to each individual to determine whether or not they care about those risks. |

My child is constantly hungry. How do I keep her feeling fuller? I'm not seeing proteins in your lists of foods, just carbs (fruits, veggies, crackers, etc). It seems like you're not doing meat, or at least didn't mention it, so maybe some high-protein foods like peanut/almond butter sandwiches (also has fat, should help feeling full). Or are there proteins on the list that I missed? |

How can I get my 4 year old to clean up toys without a battle? @balancedmama-- If you say so. He's doing it pretty well by now, three months to his fourth birthday. |

How do you respond to minor injuries? @balancedmama-- I think that this is a difference in our parenting styles, and that different kids have different needs. But in general, I don't believe in comforting when life's little problems happen-- I believe that kids need to experience some hardship to be able to avoid it. |

How do you handle unsupervised, poorly behaved children in public play areas? I recently had to deal with a bunch of extremely bratty children who were running in a play area that they were clearly too old for. When I and some other parents asked the kids to leave, they were extremely rude, and their father told me to 'cram it sideways.' So then, the real question is-- how to deal with jerks? One method is avoidance; the other is to be confrontational. It may be difficult to teach when one or the other is appropriate when they are very young, as they haven't yet learned the nuances of human interaction. |

I suspect my teenager is using illegal drugs; what should I do? A side question you don't have to answer here: did you ever do drugs? Because if you did, any kind of moral stance you take now might be a bit compromised, unless you can point to addiction problems you had to overcome. If you have that story, you could just share it apropos of nothing, because it's your story, not his. But if you used drugs and are none worse the wear and he knows that you did that, then being moralistic would ring very very hollow. |
