    How to handle a kid hitting your kid?

    @niccole2011 It didn’t affect your kid, so problem solved. That being said, I have previously dealt with dads like that by making it clear that “anything your kid does to mine, I’m gonna do to you”. Not a threat, and if their kid maintains their manners it means that I will do the same. But...

    Dads breaking generational abuse, how do you discipline your kids?

    @utay62 In addition to the great summary of points in your edited first post, you have to understand that all yelling is not bad yelling. I yelled at my kid for the first time when she reached for a hot stove. She SCREAMED. And it broke my heart. I scared her so much. And it took my wife to...

    Do you think i would deserve Christmas presents if you had 3 F’s in school?

    @kolson0319 Your grades are important. It’s self-destructive for you not to try. It’s also really stupid to imply in any way that you are owed a gift. That’s not what the word gift means.

    My sister is neglecting her children but DCFS/OCS won't investigate since it does not meet their criteria

    @anita007 Call police to do a welfare check. Sounds like she has some mental health stuff. Good luck.

    1 year old with gross motor delay and poor appetite. Constantly told everything is “fine”

    @sofia555 NO. Listen, do what you want, but chiropractic care is pseudoscience and what you’re saying is not supported by research, at all. (I’m a therapist). You’re also dead wrong on the feeding issues. Not trying to be mean but it breaks my heart to see a parent struggling with something real...

    1 year old with gross motor delay and poor appetite. Constantly told everything is “fine”

    @boanerges1989 Yeah, not disagreeing with that at all. And I wish you luck. Maybe get a big list of ALL the things you see, and get a second opinion based on that, rather than one thing. Maybe listing all the issues together will spur more reaction.

    1 year old with gross motor delay and poor appetite. Constantly told everything is “fine”

    @boanerges1989 A month and a half late isn’t really late, broadly speaking. Mind you, I’m not invalidating that something might be wrong. I’m just saying that small a delay doesn’t meet the criteria for a motor delay. For example, you’re not considered a “late walker” until after 18 months. What...

    1 year old with gross motor delay and poor appetite. Constantly told everything is “fine”

    @brightflame It isn’t a true diagnosis as compared to something like cerebral palsy. There are some ICD-10 codes for it though, you’re right. But also, based on the numbers given, this child wouldn’t qualify. But I agree with the parent, it sounds like there’s more underlying stuff.
