Contest time! Ask a question and win

America's Test Kitchen Family Baking BookIt's time to replenish our stock of good parenting questions for the Monday Consult, and that means it's also time to win something. This time I'm offering a copy of The America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book, which has more than 700 recipes to make with the family. (Including, I can attest, a foolproof method for making Rice Krispies treats.)

To enter, all you have to do is leave a question that an expert might be able to answer about parenting in the comments. (Here are some examples.) I'll pick a winner at random and announce the lucky commenter tomorrow morning.

If you'd like to be included in the contest, just be sure to leave a valid e-mail address on the comment form. That won't be published, but I will need it to reach you and get your new baking book to you.

My girl won't try new foods. She wants to eat the same foods over and over again. Could this be a form of OCD? She's also germ-phobic and washes her hands probably a dozen times a day and won't touch anything that boys touch.

OK...I started reading the first question and thought to myself, "This would make a good..." and then I saw who the commenter was.

Yep.

Oh it's a real question, there's just no adults who act like children blog.

As an organizer, I'm always getting questions regarding organizing children. What I think is extra important is not only organizing a child now but so those skills are a part of who they are. Learning organization as a child will make for a more peaceful, productive and successful adulthood. My suggestion would be to provide resources for parents to help organize their children and their household.

My 1 yr old loves cheese and yogurt and has several serving per day. We are about to start the switch over from formula to milk, and I'm inclined to try soy milk versus cow's milk. I feel like she gets plenty of cow dairy without adding more milk? We've been doing a soy-based formula since she stopped breast feeding at about 8 month. So is soy milk an OK alternative to cow milk?

My 20 month old son is precocious from the word go...He also has a terrible temper. He pulls mine and my daughter's hair, screams a horrible high pitched scream when he doesnt get his way. I am very unaccustomed to this as my daughter was a very easy kid. I am not a pushover and I am a relatively strict parent, but I am at my wits end trying to take care of him while trying to run a business and take care of my daughter. Do little boys grow out of this??
