Should You Worry About Infant Abductions?

Kara, one thing that works for us is to place a small block of wood on a screw at the top of any door that we don't want little ones to open alone, such as the basement door. The block of wood can be swung against the door frame to prevent the door from being opened, but allows easy access for an adult.

Is It Cost Effective to Bring a School Lunch?

Stenobrachius, that is terrible! It is true that kids don't get much time to eat as it is. Even in Kindergarten, there is so much pressure to fit in all of those academics.

My son's school has a new thing this year. The "packers," those who bring lunch, are tempted with buying ice cream. Someone comes around to the tables and offers just the packers ice cream on Thursdays, provided they have money for it. Talk about peer pressure. Your kid feels like a loser if they can't buy ice cream.
