The NYT recently had a horrific story about a high school boy being bullied: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/24/us/24land.html A Boy the Bullies Love to Beat Up, Repeatedly By Dan Barry, March 24, 2008 He has been beat up repeatedly, and it sounds like the school district and/or the perpetrators...

Public Health Risk Seen as Parents Reject Vaccines by Jennifer Steinhauer New York Times, March 21, 2008 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/21/us/21vaccine.html I hope the anti-vaccine zealots will read this article, but they are probably beyond persuasion.

I wonder at what age kids "need" to have their own bedrooms. With 4yo and 2yo boys and a 1yo girl, if we buy a 4 bedroom house and use one room as an office, and if we give the girl her own room, the eldest boy will never have his own room. I think the boys will just have to live with that, as...

I want our 2yo, who has always slept next to his mother, to sleep in a crib in our room. Any suggestions on how to make him less resistant to this?

If my 4yo son is reading a book to me and makes minor mistakes, such as replacing "a" with "the" or reversing the order of two words, but he still understands what was written, is it better to correct (nicely) the errors or stay out of the way? Being corrected does not seem to bother him.

There is an interesting article on this subject by Kay Hymowitz in City Journal at http://www.city-journal.org/html/15_2_holding.html . Although good parenting is importanting, I think she overestimates its effects and underestimates the importance of genetics. For example, she writes 'The...
