comment How much of an effect does parenting style have on a child?
Because you can't do exactly the same for two consecutive children - the first one will be an only child for a while; the second will have to share the parents' attention.

comment What does the diaper's wetness indicator actually test for?
The most popular manufacturers of nappies/diapers in the UK sell ranges with animals that become visible (I think dolphins and teddy bears) when wet, encouraging the child to alert the parents earlier rather than waiting.

comment How to soothe a 4 1/2 month old during our night time sleep routine?
I think that will depend on your definition. Limited it can be very useful. And as I said, more useful when they get older.

comment Ideas for dealing with a 16 month old toddler who likes to climb things?
Actually I do agree with you here @Meg - my bookcases are also fixed to the wall. I do see that as just sensible in any case, but isn't it amazing just how resilient they are - probably why we have survived as a species so long :-)

comment When did you let your child play around your house unattended? (by herself)
Thanks @deworde - in general I am against mobiles for kids, but for things like this it just gives us that extra rapid response. And our 11 year old is responsible enough not to abuse the privilege.

comment How can I get my toddler to exit discreetly when threatening-looking people are around?
Have hunted down online info on child safety, and as there seems to be a wide disconnect between media info and statistical info, I have posted this question on Skeptics: skeptics.stackexchange.com/q/8033/619

comment Teaching a (almost) 3 year old she can fall asleep on her own
+1 When ours were young we used a nightlight that played music as well. Even at 5, my youngest sometimes wants a torch next to the bed, just in case.
