comment How do you respond to minor injuries?
Well, they have one thing in common. They are both behaving like a 21-month old should.

comment how do I motivate my 8 yr old to practice the piano regularly?
There's a whole host of issues going on here that have already been addressed in some of the answers, but I'm curious, why in the WORLD would you give him the reward if he behaved like that?

comment Why is my baby crying?
Don't forget good old fashioned pain. We were at a family get together a few years ago when one of my nephews, who was too young to talk, kept crying after we strapped him in his high chair. My siblings, parents and I (who have a couple of hundred years combined child raising experience) wasted about 20 minutes trying to get him to eat different things, giving him toys, drinks, etc. Finally my brother took off his shoe and found a pebble stuck between his toes.

comment How to tell my son (10yo), somebody he knows as a man, is actually a woman?
Don't know if you can comment or not, maybe you can create a throwaway account if you need to, but can you clarify whether your step-daughters partner is actually transgender and identifies as a man, or is she just "butch" and your son has mistaken her for a man?

One second is not enough time for a two year old to process something and start complying with it.

comment Should my 3 daughters share 2 rooms?
I agree. I would give the two daughters that live at home their own room and use the third as a guest bedroom, which the 20 year old can use when she is visiting. And if there are other guests, the two younger ones can share a room while the guests are there.

comment How can I get my primary-schooler to remember to turn off the light?
"Now I make him go do it whenever I see them on even if that means he has to go up the stairs or stop doing whatever he's doing." Um, why are you just now doing this?
