You might remember the first photos of Licia Ronzulli taking her daughter to work back in September of 2010. Mom's work was (and still is) representing Italy as a member of European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, and the photo of six-week-old Victoria sleeping in an elaborate snuggly while...

Time was when there were different rules for the many different bits of equipment that might educate or distract a child.

Way back then, the telephone was kept in a central location, so Mom and Dad could know how much time you spent gabbing with your friends. If you...

I am a skeptic by nature. I'm that annoying friend who responds to your forwarded email about the most UNBELIEVABLE news not with a WOW, but with a series of links to Snopes and Urbanlegend.com, to show you how gullible you are. 

Yet yesterday I spent...

On Facebook recently, the writer Amy Tan wrote of a war of wills (and words) that she was having with her new word-processing software. "It admonishes me with editing remarks, like, "Gender specific term, consider using 'spouse' instead of 'wife,' " she wrote.

Tan didn't think too much of...

Rebecca Fitzgerald, we look forward to meeting you.

You are the winner of the To-Be-Named-By-You-Blog Contest for my daily blog here on HuffPost Parents. We couldn't be more thrilled.

We asked HuffPost readers for help, and you collectively responded with 450 separate entries that...

Dear Mr. Jordan,

I could call you Tommy, but since we've never met, that doesn't seem polite. And heaven knows I don't want to be rude to you. I have seen what you do to people who are.

So, as I understand it, your 15-year-old daughter Hannah does things...

I remember my very first video game. It was my toddler's first game too. His father and I debated (and angsted) and finally decided that it was time to let a Nintendo 64 into our lives. We presented the electronic grail to our birthday boy with great fanfare, plugged the...

How long is too long? How young is too young? How old is old enough?

These are questions parents ask themselves daily, sometimes hourly. And every single answer is really just a guess.

Periodically these morph into very public questions, as they did recently when the mother of...

It was "100 Day" at Harry's school, and his mother, Laura Mayes, was trying very hard not to take control of his monumental "100 Things Project". As the parent of most six-year- olds already know, "100 Day" is the 100th day of the school year, and it is celebrated by...

Plosheye would never speak to me. I admit now, many decades after the fact, that I took this more than a little personally. Plosheye was my brother's best friend and the two would talk by phone for hours, while my parents watched, and grinned, and even filmed the chats every...

The story, or versions of it, is sounding far too familiar.

In Brooklyn last week, 26-year-old Dalisha Adams reportedly left her toddlers, who are 3 and 4, alone in the middle of a Canarsie housing project. They were each wearing parkas and Ugg boots, and each had...

The headlines all used her name.

"Susan G. Komen's reckless choice on Planned Parenthood shatters Unity," said the Star-Ledger.

"Susan G. Komen defends cutoff..." said the Washington Times.

"Why Did Susan G. Komen Pull the Plug on Planned Parenthood?" was the...

Dr. Kathy Plesser, a Manhattan radiologist on the medical advisory board of Susan G. Komen for the Cure's New York chapter, said she plans to resign from her position unless Komen reverses its decision to pull grant money from Planned Parenthood.

"I’m a physician and my interest is women’s health,...

"80% of Moms Want to Spend Super Bowl in Bedroom" the headline on the Babycenter.com article read.

Hell yeah, I thought to myself. Then I read more closely. Oh. Those mothers weren't talking about taking a nap.

My mistake was understandable. I mean, pretty much every poll asking...

Rick Santorum's life blurs the borders between parenting and politics in an unprecedented way.

There are his seven surviving children, yes, and the story of his son Gabriel who died hours after birth, and the fact that the family has chosen to homeschool. But eclipsing all...

Dadophobia.

That is what one poster on the NYCDads Facebook page dubbed the fear of leaving children alone with, gasp, a man.

It all started with a question and answer feature in the advice section of Parenting.com:

You've accepted a sleepover invite for your daughter,...

In Britain yesterday, radio listeners heard senior Labour MP and former education minister David Lammy suggest that rioting is the result of anti-spanking rules.

It's called smacking in Britain, and Lammy told a London radio station: "Many of my constituents came up to me after...

Amy Storch and her son Ezra had a messy afternoon yesterday.

As Amy describes it on her blog, amalah.com, the little boy came down with a stomach bug after eating a whole lot of raspberries, and the results were very magenta -- all over Amy, Ezra and...

To all who are waiting, with bated breath, for the new name of my blog, I assure you we are working on it. You sent us more than 500 suggestions, and kept us (and the lawyers) busy vetting and checking and trying out.

Naming a...

Oh, what this mother missed seeing.

Nicole Miller was 34 years old when she died in 2004. The Ford Explorer she was riding in blew a tire and rolled, her sons tell us in a beautiful, heartbreaking video, a rewrite of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles,” that is becoming...
