Contest! Ask a parenting question

It's time to replenish our list of parenting question for the Monday Consult. This week's prize, for a lucky commenter under this post who asks a question about parenting that an expert can answer, is the beautiful Illustrated Atlas of Wildlife. Of course, the other prize is getting your question answered, next Monday or in the coming weeks.

I'll choose a comment at random and announce the winner tomorrow morning. As always, please leave your e-mail in the appropriate box when you comment. I won't share it, but I will need it to get in touch with you if you win the big prize.

How do you transition out of co-sleeping with a toddler and get the critter into her own room?

What do you think is an appropriate age for kids to begin having Harry Potter (book 1) read to them?

How big does a kid have to be to sit in a car's front seat? There are lots of opinions out there ranging from 12 years old, to 16. What is the height and weight we should be looking for to make this transition?
