While the scene with Tom telling Lynette bugged me some, I think it came from a place of him knowing he was shocking her and trying to help that out - badly, like guys can do at times - try and fix something they can't fix. No offense...

I'm not talking about how prevent or how to deal with the aftermath, but when my 3yo throw something at me or another family member (in anger) or hits us or pinched or whatever - generally trying to harm us in some way - how would you...

Thanks for both of you for your thoughtful advice. I think I need to try working out at home again. The last time I did, the now 3yo would yell and stop me. Maybe I need to try again. If the kids do it with me, all the better! Doing...

My dd has always been on the anxious side, even as a baby. She has never been a good sleeper, but now nightmares invade her sleep and have been for a couple of years now, at least, which keep us from getting a good night's sleep as...

My 9yo dd has always been on the anxious side, but the past few years has been riddled with nightmares and sleeplessness, on her part, and therefore, on our part. From a natural standpoint, what can I do to help her? Like...
