I’m hoping you can weigh in on a disagreement I’m having with my husband. At what point should I feel safe leaving my child alone in the bath for a few minutes? He’s almost three, and I don’t leave him for a second. But my husband does, and it makes me very nervous. My son [...]
Editor’s Note: Please keep in mind that kindergarten age requirements in California are in flux. This article highlights a PAMP forum discussion regarding kindergarten decisions for the current school year, when a child had to be age 5 by Nov. 1, 2012 to enroll.

Our insurance company has offered us earthquake insurance along with the standard homeowners/flood insurance, but of course the earthquake insurance premium is pretty steep. We are first-time homebuyers and so have never gone through this [...]
My two-year-old, who used to obey me, now has a will of her own (no surprise there). Unfortunately, that includes wresting herself free from my grasp and running into the street. It happened yesterday when she was with her babysitter, and today with me. I caught her at the edge of the street, right as [...]
I’d like to take my two-year-old camping this summer but my husband would need a hot shower and plug for the hairdryer.
