I would switch too. But, heck, I'm on my 3rd ped already! Something I never did (but wish I had) was to interview peds. What I did instead was to give them a try and then switch if I didn't like them or agree with them. I have to...

My dd was still like that at age 2, so it sounds normal to me!

My daughter is 4.5 years old and beginning to read, mostly on her own. She learned the letter sounds and we played some verbal phonics games and then she picked it up. She does well with basic CVC phonics, but now she is asking what...

I was just coming here to post about this article. I would call it pro-circ with only lip service to the "personal choice" mantra. I was very disappointed. As an example, when they compare infant and adult circ, here is...
