What Do You Do About Irrational Preschool Behavior?
I have an intense child Shocked. Here is an example: Hubby tells him to put his underwear on, and tosses them into his room on his way to another room. The underwear caught on his doorknob and hung there. Aiden, who is perfectly capable of reaching his doorknob, threw himself on the floor and preceded to reach for the underwear (while laying on the floor) screaming "I can't get it! I can't get it!" He proceeded to kick and scream until hubby went to find out what the screaming was about. This is something that occurs at least 3 times a week or so.

Should I push my son to eat faster?
I have a slow eater. When I say slow, I mean he is done 15 minutes after other kids his age. Part of me feels like I shouldn't worry about this since it's better for digestion if we eat more slowly. The other part gets frustrated when I'm finished and he's still two bites into his meal. Any thoughts?

Should a 5yr Old Still Have Bathroom Accidents?
Hello.
My niece is 5 and she is in her first year of Kindergarten.
She has been potty trained for years but lately she has been wetting herself several times per week at school.
At first it was on the bus on her way to YMCA. So, I told me sister to ask her teacher to make her use the bathroom before leaving school. Then, she wet herself at the Y or earlier in the day at school. She wet herself a few times last year at daycare also.
