Need help with baby crib by
Barry
I have a circa 1980 baby crib that I've returned to my sister in the
Orlando, Florida area. Unfortunately, a lot of the hardware was
corroded or broken. Now I find out Simmons does not carry replacement
parts for this crib any more. My sister is ready to stop speaking to
me and make the whole...

Trick or Treating Part2 by
beachpeach
I've read the trick or treat thread with interest. I'm curious about
parental attendance while trick or treating. At what age do most of
your folks think is acceptable/appropriate for kids to knock on doors
with mom or dad? We live in a HUGE neighborhood where we know most of
the people. It's...

Character of a growing girl (middle school question) by

discuss it further. Could anyone please give me some input on this?
If one can (potentially, maybe) pay for instate, public university education

Kids drinking out of a garden hose by
Beeswing
We just had a girl come over for a play date with our daughter. She'd never
been here before, so I tried to be extra conscientious about things like not
letting her go out of our yard unwatched, me dropping in to check in with them
frequently, those sorts of things (both kids are 8, btw). My...

SuperCamp by

Does anyone here have any experience with SuperCamp? I have an 11 YO
academically advanced kid who lacks motivation (to put it gently) plus
badly needs skills in overcoming writer's block, and I was wondering if
this might be a good program for her. Any comments, positive or
negative, would be...

FOLLOWUP: Kids drinking out of a garden hose by
Beeswing
Earlier this month, I asked folks' opinions on the safety of letting
kids drink out of the garden hose. It turns out that our local tv
station recently addressed this issue. The station's consumer
investigator's main concern was the possibility of high lead content in
sitting water. Of course,...

Follow-up: Tweens and TV by
beeswing
I just want to let you know that I really appreciate the input of everyone who
responded to my question about (young) tweens and TV choices. It gave me a lot
to think about. This morning, my daughter asked me about a show she wanted to
watch; the title made it sound horrible, but I sat down with...

TV choices and tweens by
beeswing
When is the age where you, as a parent, should start to give in and let the
child make her own media choices, TV in particular, whether or not you agree
with them (within reason)? I'm not suggesting letting The Kid watch "Debbie
Does Dallas," but we got into a major row this weekend over "Pokemon:...

Would volunteering be a conflict? by

x-no-archive: yes
There's a private school locally that I wouldn't mind supporting, and they've
listed that they need volunteers, including committee members for a committee
I'd be interested in. I wouldn't mind volunteering the time, but it is true
that we're likely to want to apply to the school...

"Love and Logic"? by

On a list I'm on, folks are discussing the book "Love and Logic." I've never
heard of it, but I'm gathering that there is some controversy regarding it. I'm
not looking for a review, really, just for information: I'd like to know what
general principles the book espouses, as much out of curiousity...

Okay, here I go (grabs flame-retardant blanket). :) I believe my husband's and

We make sure our daughter gets to school fed and reasonably rested, prepared
for school, having done her homework. We support her lessons at home by...

I have a third-grade daughter. A classmate's mother is pushing me to

already wears. While it's true my daughter is starting to "bloom,"
she's still young and hasn't shown an interest herself. (I offered a

THANKS: Character of a growing girl (middle school question) by
Beeswing
First, I want to say that describing our middle school as "inner city"
is an overstatement...our city doesn't have an "inner city" as you might
visualize one. The school is urban, it does have related drawbacks, and
I do have concerns relative to this. But it's not as bad as all that,
and I'm sorry...
