My generally unathletic kindergartner has expressed an interest in, and has reasonable ability at, hiking and walking longer distances. I’d love to nurture this interest since I know it has mental and physical health benefits, and unlike many kid sports it’s something that can be a lifelong hobby. The problem is walking long distances takes a lot of time and I’m finding it hard to balance finding time for long family walks/hikes with school, aftercare, activities and downtime with friends, all of which are also important. Thoughts on how you fit this in, if you do a lot of walking or hiking as a family? Are there any activities that would be a good fit for a kid like this? She does a ninja class at MyGym that she enjoys and I think that’s helping her build upper body strength. She is NOT a runner and is way slower at running than most kids her age.

I have a “no screens” (ipad or TV) rule when my kids are home sick from school because IMO being home sick should not be more fun than school. It’s good that it’s boring, and if the kids are too sick to go to school, they are too sick to do anything other than quietly read or lie in bed anyway. Reasonable, or too strict?

All things being equal, would you order from Amazon or Walmart dot com? Assume there is no option C: I have tried to locate the item in brick and mortar stores and have had no success.

At what age did you start having dental x-rays done for your kids? Mine are 3 and 5 and so far their teeth look good, but their dentist suggested starting x-rays soon.

When does 2 kids get “easier”?

Second child just turned a month old and our first is 2 years so we’re in the MIDDLE OF IT. Divide and conquer is working okay for now but when one of us has both kids it’s a disaster. I just need a little bit of a light at the end of the tunnel that this will be different in X amount of time.

A gross but real question! DS #2 (2.5) threw up last night and went back to sleep. This has never happened before.

We found out when we went to check on him before I went to bed. I got him up (he was fine, not fussy, in a bit of a daze – was fine this AM), we cleaned up, did laundry, etc. The room still smells! I did another round with dish soap and bleach spray this AM after everyone left.

What am I missing?

My spouse would really like to travel to someplace warm with our elementary-school kids over Presidents’ day break (the kids have a mini-holiday) to escape winter misery (we reside in the Mid-Atlnatic). He’s looking at Mexico/Cayman/DR. Florida is not a possibility due to politics. Does anyone have any recommendations for any resorts that are more eco-minded or other ways to reduce the impact of such a trip?

Has anyone done group prenatal care? My hospital midwife group offers an option where you meet with a group of other women and partners due around the same time as you for ten sessions, each two hours, during your pregnancy. The midwives do individual health checks to start, and then there’s a discussion group time and various education seminars presented by the midwives. It seems like a great way of doing prenatal care, but I’d be so curious to hear from people who have done similar programs about whether you liked it or not!

Panic! We have lice! First time and both kids! My daughter has hair to her shoulder blades and my son has short hair. After some late night googling, here is my plan: apply nix today, hot wash all bedding, boil/throw out everything else, cut daughter’s hair (she is ok with this). Tell me what’s missing from this plan also any tips or advice!! Thank you!

Honestly, it has been so rare that I have ever needed an outfit or a look to go “from desk to dinner.” I’ve gone from work directly to dinner, sure, but business casual or business professional clothes are what I had and that is what I wore. I didn’t think about it more than that.
