Febrile Seizures by
Karen G
Of all things to end our spring break. Everyone had been sick, but as
we were checking into our hotel before reaching home the next day, our
18 month old started seizing in the car. I knew he had a fever, but I
try not to overreact to childhood illnesses or other events so I didn't
even have...

fidgety kids by
Chris
Just had our parent teacher conference for our 6th grade son. The
story is pretty much the same as every year--bright kid but he can't
sit still in class. Of course each year teachers are less tolerant of
his fidgeting, twirling the eraser, pencil tapping, etc. But, like
each year, the teachers...

Fifth Grade Boys by
Beth Gallagher
No horror stories here, just a question prompted by the Fifth Grade Girls
thread:
It is likely that we will be moving to a new area (new school) the summer
before my son enters 5th grade (about one year from now). When I tell people
I feel bad about taking my kids out of their existing school,...

Fifth Grade Girls by
Scott
X-No-Archive: yes
In a word: Ugh.
DD has a friend who is trying to find out a "secret" about another,
mutual friend (Call her secret-keeper). So the secret-seeker calls
our house, cajoling,threatening, wheedling, to find out the secret.
Meanwhile, DD told another girl about the secret (which...

Finally pregnant again after all these years! by
andrea baker
Hi folks,
A couple years ago I'd posted regarding washers, dryers, and a new

now, about $13K later, I am finally expecting #2, a girl, due in April
of 2004.

FINALLY! by
Scott Lindstrom
You all may recall posts from me about how stubborn DS
can be when it comes to learning a new task, specifically
riding a bike. Well, it has finally happened. Two Tuesdays
ago, the BH bought him a new bike -- he was gargantuan on
his old one. A week ago, I took him to our church, which
has a big...

financial aid question by
H Schinske
I recently checked out the web page of a private school where I am, and was
surprised to discover that they make a difference in how they calculate family
income for financial aid purposes if there is a stay-at-home parent.
Essentially they use a figure for what the parent could in theory be making...

records dating back to the late 60's and told me that based on those

My husband went to the bookstore today and picked me up the book "It's So
Amazing!" by Robie H. Harris. I'd read about it on Amazon, and a couple

flipped through the book with my kid, and it looks like it will be perfect...

sitting water. Of course,...

Food advice and kids by

I have two boys and a girl (ages 14, 11 and 5). My problem is that they
all like different foods. I insist on making them the same thing, which

four year old behavior by
Karen G
Any suggestions on discouraging (ideally eliminating) these behaviors
with a four and a half year old boy before I go insane.
1. Singing over everyone with some repetitive word (ma, ma being the
most common).
2. Stomping and marching. Often this is happening with the first
