No two children with autism are alike. However, there are some signs that many autistic children share and experts agree may be as recognizable as early as the toddler years, or even sooner.  Research suggests that children as young as one year old can show some early warning signs of autism. Children on the spectrum generally have difficulty relating to others; they may hardly speak, and if they do, they may not communicate in ways that...

Oh my, the neighbourhood is abuzz this morning. A new family just moved in and the waves of horror started almost immediately. Really there should be a central database to track these guys—yes, that’s right, I’m talking about that new threat to all caring mothers—the rare and much-maligned Stay at Home Dad, or SAHD. We just got one. He hangs out at the park. He’s at the Starbucks, the swimming pool, even (gasp) the school office. Let...

I don’t know about you, and while I wouldn't have had it any other way, I feel like my life post birth has changed much more radically than my husband's has.  And I'm not sure whether that's because I carried my son in my body for nine-and-a-bit months, or because I never returned to the office after my maternity leave expired...  Whatever the reason, there comes a time when the balance needs to be redressed. Any time a child's been under...

Making baby cereal can be a bit tricky; some parents say that the recipes called for too much water whilst others say they had to add two extra cups of water. We find that the texture and "gloopiness" will depend a lot on the type of rice used as well as the texture of the powder you have created. If you find that the cereal is cooking up too sticky or too thick, you may add water while cooking the cereal. You may also further process the cooked...

A common parenting complaint is that the potty training is going fine—no accidents. But then I hear: “Rebecca has been dry for months now. However, there is one little problem. She refuses to poop in the toilet. She doesn’t have accidents, but she asks to have her pull-up on for bowel movements. These things are costing me. If she knows she has to go and can ask for a pull-up, surely she can just go use the toilet!” Understanding the...

Toddler Handbook: Tips for Toddlers, By Toddlers • In the middle of the night, run down the hallway without bothering to tiptoe. Your parents will hear the pitter-patter of your feet and be grateful that you are coming to join them in bed at such an hour. • Climb onto the bed, find a warm body, and lie directly on top of it, horizontally. • You will likely be moved.
