Contest time -- ask a parenting question and win

back%20to%20school.jpg

It's time to replenish the well of questions for the Monday Consult. So ask your parenting questions in the comments section, and you'll be entered to win a really cute, pink patterned backpack.

Include your e-mail when you post, of course, so I can get in contact with you if you win. I'll announce the winner by the end of the day Wednesday.

And because the Back to School season has begun, I'm looking in particular for questions about easing your child back into school, navigating new teachers, and whatever else you're wondering about.

Ask away...

How do I get my 4-year-old daughter back on an early sleep schedule to start preschool?

As the school year approaches, there will be a new set of students in my son's class. There are some children who may misbehave periodically and others that have some more serious issues. How do I teach my child when he needs to complain/report to a teacher/administrator regarding another students behavior and when to ignore it and not be overly sensitive?

What is the best way to lobby for more recess and multi-sensory education the my child's school?

My two year old has severe food and environmenal allergies, and has to take medication. What are some things I can do at home to manage her allergies, so that we can eventually get her off medication? Her diet is pretty well controlled, but the whole situation is incredibly frustrating and her allergist is virtually useless.

At what age is a child old enough to swallow a pill? My almost 5 year old had some urinary issues last week, but was unable to swallow the cranberry tablets I bought him.
