3Rd Grade Dd, Larger than the Rest

Hi ladies, this one is breaking my heart and I am at my wits end with how to handle the situation. The last 3 years my dd has really shot up and out. She's only in 3rd grade and stands at least a head taller than all the other kids, not just her class but the entire grade. She has also put on weight and although she doesn't really seem to notice yet it's becoming obvious in the clothes she wears and wants to wear. She is extremely smart and we tried to have her moved up when she was in kindergarten but the principle was truly a jerk and...

How to Get My Daughter Tested for Kindergarten

Who do I call to look into having my 4 1/2 year old tested for Kindergarten? She misses the cutoff by 10 days (will be 5 on December 12). She's had one year of Preschool and we re-enrolled her fore Pre-K at the Preschool since she missed the cutoff for K. However, we're starting to get concerned that she might get bored if we hold her back. She knows how to write all of the alphabet letters, and what each one sounds like and can sound out words. She's doing math (addition & subtraction). She also gets along very well with older kids ...

What Can I Do to Lose Weight..

I am 25 years old... I have three kids... I am done having children. I got my tubes tied in Feb. 2007. However, my problem is my weight... I am totally unhappy with the way I look.

I try to exercise as much as I can but I am home with my children 24 hours a day. My husband works in Tulsa so he commutes an hour each way. There is one gym in my town but not open when I have someone to sit with the children. From the...
