I am a parent of two boys who are 5 years apart, they get along well and play as well as kids can with that age gap. They are half-Chinese and are growing up learning English and Chinese, reading, writing and speaking for both languages. What I want to get out of this site are more ideas on raising my boys, giving them more opportunities for learning and growth as well as more ideas on how to educate them and get them to try new things.

What is the best way to calmly respond to a pre-schooler who will not listen? +1 for the patience and consistency, it's what I try to do with my boys and I think the best way. Just takes repeating until it sinks in...I'm hopeful one day it will then on to the next challenge. |

How do I get my overachiever to accept her mistakes and live up to her abilities? +1 I have had this happen with my son, he tries to do something then complains "it's too hard!". I tell him to stick with it, and practice and it will eventually work itself out, then point out things he can do that he practiced and does well. As you note, I've done this over and over again |

What are some coping strategies to deal with infant allergies? We thought he was too young to go for the check, and after my last pediatrician we did not ask; our current one is great so I will check with her. We're pretty sure its airborne since it doesn't happen all the time, even at home. I had run the humidifier a couple times, and that helped but hadn't done the HEPA yet. |
