Contest time! Ask a parenting question, win a prize
It's that time again. Make a comment below that asks a question about parenting that you wish an expert could answer, and you'll be entered in a contest to win "The Birthday Cake Book" by Dede Wilson. It has 75 recipes to celebrate birthdays, including a "Hairy Caterpillar Cupcake Cake."
I'll choose a winner at random by noon tomorrow, and announce the lucky commenter here. But even if you don't win, your question may be answered in a future Monday Consult.
Good luck!

Why does my infant always nap so well at daycare and so poorly on the weekends?! Srsly - there must be a medical reason.

How do you parent meaningfully when your child/adult is not totally independent? Giving freedom, accountabilityand responsibility to college bound 18 y/o? Please provide building blocks for those w/younger kids.

How do you redirect 5 year old rage? (or any age really). His instinct is to hit, but I'm having trouble coming up with an alternative that clicks with him-- blowing out a deep breath, saying, "Pickles!" or "I'm frustrated" -- none of that seems to stick.

Is there any way to stop a baby from grinding their teeth?

How do you break a toddler of a biting habit, when she isn't doing it at home, but is doing it at daycare when other children get in her personal space or attempt to take a toy from her?

why can't I get my kids to go to sleep at night, without an eternity of cuddling, requests for water, potty break after potty break, anything to delay the inevitable?!

Along the lines of habits, how can you help your elementary school aged kid from breaking newly formed habits?
