Does anybody have some book suggestions for a 7-year-old boy?? I'm having a horrible time finding things he is interested in reading.

Childhood Obesity
My daughter is 4 feet and she is 8 years old and 4 month and she weighs 69 pounds. Is she overweight and should I be doing something about it if she is?

Choosing A Doctor For Older Children
I am looking for a doctor for my 11 1/2 year old son. My question is, should I still be looking for a pediatrician (since he is still an adolescent) or go for a general/family practitioner?

Dealing With Neighborhood Kids
I have a 6-year-old son who loves to play with some kids in the neighborhood. They all fight constantly and cannot agree on what to play, who is on what team, etc. and it drives me crazy!

Homework Hassles
My kids have been back in school for a few weeks now, and I have to say, I HATE homework. I wonder, am I the only one? They are in school all day, then they come home, get to play and unwind for a bit, then we have to do homework. It can take up to an hour.

Morning Madness
Do mornings stress anyone else? This morning, we couldn't find one of my son's shoes. It's always something when I'm trying to get them off to school.

Surviving Car Trips
When we go for a weekend trip with the car I find it sometimes really challenging to entertain the kids rather than making noise or fight.
