@terrastorm Let baby set the daily rhythm and you go with that. It takes some babies time to find their rhythm.

@mercantilewriter Well done! I’m glad it’s gone well so far. Daily physical activity, sometimes twice a day, and kid sized exercise and/or exercise videos that you do with him when it’s rainy will help with his mental health, behavior, and sleep. Kid yoga can help him find peace during times...

@glall2u2 It would be reasonable for your neighbor to look for new housing if they aren’t satisfied with where they are now. Have your child avoid wearing tennis shoes or hard shoes in the house, use socks or slippers with rubber bottoms to help prevent slipping. The alternative is very soft...

@godblessed777 Are you sure he is doing his own homework? Not someone doing it for him?

@godblessed777 What is your real reason for not wanting to go to school on those particular days of the week?

@godblessed777 You need much more challenging classes then. If you are in America, you might be able to take four year university courses during high school time and get high school credit for them. You get dual credit at both the high school and college level. You can also take community...

@keety Early solid foods are not spicy hot at all. Make your own adult food without spice, remove as many portions as you want for the little one, add spice to the big pot for the adults and let it finish cooking to mellow and disseminate the adult’s heat. As little one gets much better at...

@lordfeather No, this is not the norm. Did your wife solidly want to become pregnant before she became pregnant? If yes, then this sounds like postpartum depression. Talk to her doctor. If no, then you both might be experiencing the effect of a questionably wanted pregnancy. Not every parent...

@arishin He might benefit from seeing a therapist. I’m guessing that social media is influencing his view of his world.

@dkalista Pinwheel sandwiches or giant sub roll sandwich cut into slices would be easy.

@ichabod The first that came to my mind is auditory processing disorder. The baby talk and daytime peeing…might be cognitive delay of some type. I also wonder if there is any chance she is being or has been sexually abused? Edit to add: You haven’t said that mom is alarmed by the...

@tobi80 You already know what needs to be done. Whatever your routine chores are needs to be done repeatedly over time. Make yourself a list in the notes app of your phone, and set alarms to go off periodically to remind you to do the chores on that schedule. This way everyone wins. The house...

@boanerges1989 I suggest cross posting this to r/askdocs. Include her most recent length and weight measured at the pediatrician’s office and the exact age she was (months + weeks) when the measurements were taken.

@jime Spend your nannying hours helping him learn elementary math. He doesn’t need a tutor for that. Start with making sure he knows his math tables. The tables are the foundation of all math. Make flash cards with him. Start with adding up to 12 + 12, then subtracting. Show him that adding...

@andy90210 I’m not in the UK; I can only speak to parts of America. It’s well accepted that socialization and play are fundamental to development. I disagree think my idea of curriculum is significantly different from the integrated, child led curriculum endorsed by early childhood educators. My...

@naomi_sarai Very many preK locations are just socialization and entertainment without any educational curriculum. There are many that advertise that they offer a curriculum, but they do not.
