She is 2 years and 7 months, and for weeks she has been begging to go to school and buy a backpack. I am a stay at home mom, so she doesn't go to daycare, we also can't afford it. What is the age for going to preschool, and is it normal for a child this young to beg non stop to go to school? It may be because she wants to play with other kids, we live in an apartment complex that does not have any children her age, I don't have any friends with kids her age either so she doesn't participate in playgroups. I want her to be able to interact with kids but I don't know what to do.........

This is my first pregnancy and I'll be 20 weeks on Weds.
The last couple of days I've had these horrible headaches that just wont go away. Yes, I have already put a call into my Doctor's and Im awaiting a call back. Just thought I would get some feedback from some experienced moms.
Tyelnol is just not kicking it... any other suggestions? And do you know what causes these headaches?

Every now and then my school-aged children use foul language. I've tried traditional punishments (time outs, washing mouths out with soap, etc.) to no avail. Any suggestions?

I'm 30 and my clock is ticking. My husband and I don't know if we want children....at least not yet. What age, realistically, is it getting too late to have kids??

When my daughter has been doing this since she could first sit up. I was concerned and talked to our family doctor. My Doctor told me not to be worried, some kids do this and she would grow out of it. He also said that be relieved that my daughter didn't pull her hair instead. I have rarely heard of this, could anyone shed some light on this for me. Is this something she should have grown out of already? Should I even worry if my doctor isn't? My parents get mad at me if I let her do it, am I wrong? Please give me some idea what I am working with.

I am sending out thank you cards for all that came and got me something for my baby shower, but I want to send out a special gift to those who gave me the shower, the ones who did all the hard work and made it such a big event. I want it to be special and thoughtful.

My daughter is starting kindergarten and we want her to excell now to help establish both routine, expectations, and patterns. We want her to understand that even now, good grades, good study habits are important. I've met her teacher and it's been established that even in kindergarten, there will be homework. With that known, she deserves a reward for each good mark, even now at such a young age and grade. What's appropriate? She doesn't really receive an allowance but she also doesn't lack for anything she really wants. Anyone reward their children this young and if so, what did you use for the reward?

I see a lot of people here claim that parents who spank their children are "stupid", uncreative, and teaching violence. Care to provide credible links, or even anecdotal tales, and not just emotions?

Lets look at back in the day, when there was corporal punishment, prayer, and structure in the school systems...and most homes. I was the last of this generation (I'm a child of the 80's) and let me tell you, I NEVER talked back in school, no one blew up our schools, I NEVER disrespected any adult...especially not my parents!! God forbid! and you damn right I was afraid, but it was a HEALTHY fear. While I knew better than to sass my elders, I also knew how to properly address them, and I was loved dearly and spankings were few and far between. Not the only method of discipline used.

So I guess my mother was stupid. I guess my old teachers and principal were stupid. I feel I got a good foundation in life, on the contrary. I learned RESPECT. I learned discipline. Far from stupid IMO.
