Why are parents so concerned about profanity around their children? I just saw a clip on Conan last night: a guest tried to get him to say "Vagina" and he refused for most of the interview. A little while later, he said it in a very dramatic and exaggerated way. A parent had a video camera out, taping a child (about 2ish) watching the show. The child spent the next 30 seconds saying "Vagina! Vagina!" the same way. Now granted, this isn't the same sort of word as a f-bomb, but the principle exists for any word. |

Should we worry about my toddler accidentally banging his head against the sides of the crib? About SIDS specifically: By definition, nothing causes SIDS. If you know the cause, it isn't be SIDS. According to the American SIDS Institute, SIDS is the sudden death of an infant under one year of age which remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation If it was explainable (for instance, you can say this bumper caused it by smothering) it would not be SIDS. That warning essentially says "A higher than normal rate of unexplained deaths occured with babies using this product". They're legally required to do so, but in reality it only ends up scaring parents. |

Introducing a newborn to my 2 yr old I will add that. We did make a specific effort to do that too. That includes mommy-girl time, daddy-girl time, and mommy-daddy-girl time (grandma and grandpa helped a lot for this last one!) |

Why are parents so concerned about profanity around their children? Ironically, I swear more now that I'm a father than I ever did before I had kids... What? I never used to have people pulling my chest hair for giggles!! |

Toddler always get close to the TV, might it point on bad eye sight? If you were to decide to not get her eyes checked specifically because of this, when would her next regular eye check be, and when was her last one? |

Carbon Monoxide @Brian - the fact that the word local was used in your comment indicates that instead of including a location, the question should be closed as too localized. |

Carbon Monoxide @Dave Not so much as a parent, but as a big fan of having enough oxygen to breath, I rather like CO detectors. As a parent, I hope to pass on my love of oxygen to my daughters, like how my father passed down the love of classic rock to me. |

How do we stop our child screeching? My daughter (20 months) never screeched at all until my niece (7 months) started. She 'learned' it from the younger one and now does it basically whenever she doesn't get what she wants. My wife and I thought we had dodged a bullet, but it turned out to be a boomerang :) |

I don't like my child's teacher's teaching style Not that I want to expose your second grader to all the harsh realities of the real world, but not everything we are asked/told to do makes sense to us, and often times it really does have no practical purpose. And yet, we have to do it because someone in authority over us has instructed us to do it. Sometimes we are lucky to have bosses who listen to reason, and are able to explain their motives, but I find that to be the exception. Doing useless things is an important lesson in authority. Not that I recommend doing useless things for the sake of it, but learning to 'accept it' is important. |

Our infant cries with anyone else if we're not in the room as well I would question the usefulness of step 2's first part. While I agree that using conversation with infants is important, I doubt they're really going to understand you when you say I'm going to the next room. I was also wondering if you had a citation on the 'no such thing as over-cuddling'? |
