I don't like my child's teacher's teaching style @morah hochman - I tell my daughter the value (IMHO) of the homework given. Sometimes, the homework is of great value and I'll add more to it. Sometimes, it is partial useful and will tell her which bits I do not agree with. Often, I'll create my own assignments to help her with her weaker subjects. Teachers come and go, but you are responsible for your child's education for the next 15 years. |

How to improve my 9yo child's short term memory Attention is likely an issue. She has great recall of facts. Random numbers (test: A 7 Z 4 P 2, repeat the numbers) is rather arbitrary and difficult even for me. |

How to improve my 9yo child's short term memory I've added clarifications above. Chess sounds like a great idea as it will also exercise her processing speed. We used to play backgammon (Russian rules, of coarse) - we should probably start that again. |

What are the pros and cons of giving nutritional food supplements? Given you are from India, do you have a strict vegetarian diet? Most people can get everything they need from a healthy diet but vegetarians can have a harder job, especially if their kids do not eat well. |

How old does a child have to be to start using a pacifier? FYI: My now 3.5yo son never wanted one and never had one. He never sucked his thumb either. That's one bullet we dodged. |

When should a child transition through the different car seats, to none, and to the front seat? The age a child can move to the front seat can also be governed by local laws. In Australia, the child must be at least 12. My 10 year old daughter is the same height as my wife but is stuck in the back seat for another two years. |

What aspects should we consider when choosing a name for our child? @Malachi - gotta agree with JBRWilkinson on this - my daughter gets very angry when people do not spell or pronounce her name correctly. |

What aspects should we consider when choosing a name for our child? @Christopher Bibbs - popular names come and go. To me, it means the name is not intrinsically great but, rather, it just a passing phase. I'd prefer a name that stands on it's own. "Jack", "Emily", 'Zoe", "Olivia" are not bad but (to me) are less special when your child of 1 of 4 in their classroom. |
