How can I prep my child for an IQ test? As a member of Mensa for the last 20 years, and a huge fan of puzzles and tests I would suggest that you can improve your results in all IQ tests through study and practice of IQ tests. Other than that I would agree with both your answer and @Facebook's as they both have merit. |

Should you secretly drill your children? Driving risks do seem to be managed differently in a child's head, but I am also using this technique for driving. My eldest is nearly 13 and has had his karting licence for many years. I am coaching him in IAM methods of risk management, so we'll see. |

Preschooler can't sing, but sings anyway - loudly! Hi Rain - welcome to the site. Quick suggestion - this answer is actually very difficult to read. It seems like a long stream of consciousness paragraph, so many visitors to the site will probably just pass over or mark it down. I would suggest distilling it to a few paragraphs to get your point across clearly. |

Are “glow in the dark” bedsheet safe No. They don't use radium. Most common these days is Strontium aluminate. Not good if eaten, but no other health hazards. |

Nearly 2 and doesn't comprehend speech @Padma - the advice is go see your paediatrician as there are so many possible causes. You need to have your child looked at, not follow what worked for someone else! |

At what age should I explain to my kids that we don't believe in God? +1 for that final paragraph. Very sensible. |

Should I discourage my son from “stealing” toys from Let's Rock Elmo? I don't think this is a constructive answer. Can you expand further to explain why you think this is a useful learning premise? An outlet for what? |

When do baby teeth start falling out? Yep, incredibly variable. Ours were all between 4 and 6 when they started falling out, and our eldest still has a couple of baby teeth and he is nearly 13. |

How do you respond to a toddler who endlessly says “why?”? The silly is exactly the route we took after the 'why' passed its useful stage:-) |

What stroller features are essential for regular use on the subway? edited the question to what I think you may be asking - and to an answerable form. Please let me know if I changed the meaning. |

When is it time to pack away the stroller? It's one like this, that you can carry with a shoulder strap, and put up one handed: tesco.com/direct/kiddu-cruz-5-position-lie-back-buggy-blackred/… |

Should you let a toddler win? I was going to post an answer, but this encapsulates my theory on this perfectly. Especially so with 3 children - being fair as they all have to lose sometimes is very important! +1 |

Using the sink dish cloth to wipe infants face and hands after feeding Definitely - sink cloths carry a higher number of dangerous bacteria than most things in the house, including the toilet seat! |

How to stop a baby of trying to reach things that he really wants? Worked for me. The kids did try to ask for mine, but I just firmly said "No - this is my one, that is your one" and once they realised I was not going to change my mind the problem vanished. |

What is the best way to respond if my child is picked on by other children? This is very like our approach. My kids compete in martial arts, but know not to use this at school. There was one bully who picked on my eldest, and despite complaints the school did nothing - so I had a chat with the head teacher and said that I gave my son permission to defend himself as the school wouldn't, and while he wouldn't start anything, if the other child ended up on the ground this would be the school's problem, not my son's. The head then sorted the issue directly with the bully and his parents. |

Do babies who watch TV start speaking late? As DA01 says, this is not an area the internet is that useful for. Have a specialist look at your child! |

How do I figure out which infant formula is the healthiest? removed that spam for you - it didn't help your answer, and would risk downvotes. |
