10 Year Old Defiant Son

I am so desperate for any advice from other parents of 10 year old boys. My son is not at all respectful of my discipling him, he doesn't care what I threaten him with. He is afraid if I say I am going to go get dad though. I just don't know what to do to get him to understand that what I say goes. He also says he doesn't care if he fails his classes, although we have treatened punishment and offered incentives to doing well. He will do good one week and the next doesn't care. I guess I would just like to know that there are other moms out...

Help-my 8 Year Old Is Very Picky About Her Food.

I have an 8 year old that is very picky about food. She either wants something different from what i've made and if not, she won't eat. I can't get her to eat veggies or healthy food. It all started one day that we were at my in laws house, and she almost vomited, ever since then, she is always saying that if she tries something new she's going to throw up.

To Night Light, or Not to Night Light ?

What has been your experience with using a night light for your toddler's room ? Do you think it is good or bad ? Our 3 year old son does not have trouble getting to sleep, nor does he complain about being afraid of the dark. But what does sometimes happen is he will sometimes wake up during the night and have trouble getting back to sleep. When my wife or I try to comfort him he will sometimes say that he is "A little bit afraid of the dark". He does not mention this before falling asleep, only when he wakes up in the middle of...

Does No- Cry Sleep Solution Work ?

I have a 5 month old boy, who has gone from being an ok sleeper to a terrible sleeper. He was sleeping 5 - 6 hours at 2-3 months of age and since then has been regressing and getting more and more difficult to put to sleep. We put him down around nine and he wakes up 2-3 times. Sometimes the last time he wakes up which could be anywhere from 4am to 6am, he will not go back to sleep. He is ready to play then, but keeps rubbing his eyes and yawns , so I know he is tired. I breast feed him when he wakes up and he goes back. He starts the night...
