Helping my todder fall asleep Just be careful about this one-- it will delay removing night diapers, because milk before bedtime generally seems to lead to night urination. At least, it does for my son, so we had to stop giving him liquid before bed. |

How can I get my kids to spend wisely? @Jack-- sick days were comped :) Also, if someone has a school trip, they can get out of chores that way. Kind of encourages school trips and group participation, come to think of it... I think my parents were wilier than I gave them credit for... |

How can I get my kids to spend wisely? +1 I agree-- there are too many opportunities to teach and learn by participating in their activities rather than saying that the activities are worthless. It would have been awesome to play these kinds of games with my dad or mom. |

How can I get my kids to spend wisely? I disagree with that first point. Just because the parents aren't compensated for a task does not mean that someone can't be-- I don't want my kids thinking that they should do work for free (internships), nor do I want them thinking that certain kinds of work aren't worth paying for (ie, that a maid/gardener/nanny is somehow a 'bad profession' because the people who hire such professionals should be doing those tasks for themselves). There's too much personal angst and negative judgement in "well, I don't get paid for this, so no one should be!" |

How can I get my kids to spend wisely? 3. I'm not sure how well it scales to more or fewer. |

Are prenatal ultrasounds safe? @TorbenGundtofte-Bruun-- I've been trained to put that there :) Should I move it to the top? |

Should I let food be a way out of a “time out”? @Rhea-- So, that's really a different question ("How can I wean a 16 month old?"), but in general, I think my answer still stands. Make it seem like they can't have whatever it is you want them to have, and they will try to get it. Reverse psychology; works for us, and it worked for us when we were weaning as well. Another trick is to say that breast milk is for babies, and she's not a baby. |

At what age or developmental milestones is a child capable of critical thinking? Are you looking for child development stages as described by Piaget and Vygotsky? |

Any way to prevent bedwetting before it's actually starting? Are you expecting chronic bedwetting as a condition, or bedwetting that happens when potty training? For our son, I've noticed that making sure he doesn't drink before bedtime is the biggest determinant to whether or not he wets the bed, or his nighttime diaper-- but your question suggests a more chronic (perhaps psychological?) condition than the normal potty training problems. |

How many plane flights per year are considered unhealthy for a toddler? The exposure due to cosmic radiation is actually about two chest X-ray images per flight, or 40 uSv (xkcd.com/radiation), depending on flight height and latitude. At 1000 flights, there would be definitely apparent effects (epa.gov/rpdweb00/understand/health_effects.html), known as 'deterministic effects' because they can be traced directly to radiation. So unless the OP is flying in the 100s of hours per year, they should be OK-- but he did ask for how many flights would be unhealthy, not if it's a concern :) |
