<t>Pauline, "The One Minute Mother" is by Spencer Johnson -I was actually looking for "Who Moved My Cheese" when I found it in the public library. Never have gotten back to looking for the cheese book - lol! I have 3 ADHD books all only partially read - so much info to slog through - I end up scanni...

<t>My 5 yr old DD is having the same problems. I reccommend a book titled "the one minute mother" - really short book, fast read, good ideas.

<t>sorry, knee-jerk reaction. I know my daughters have bonded with their classmates already, so it would be better to try to get through to the teacher. I have trouble understanding her reaction when she works with children everyday - kids don't do things that hurt. She needs to get her head out of ...

<t>ok ladies - most of us had very large babies that lead to shoulder dystocia resulting in BPI. What about the tear injuries to mother? I have an appointment next week to see a surgeon to see if anything can be done about rectal incontenience. I was told there was one strand of muscle tissue from t...
