Hi all! My daughter, Arielle, was born on the 26th of January/08. When are all of your babes' birthdays? What are your little ones up to/in to these days?
Arielle was a bit of a late walker and has just recently become a full-time walker. She does, however, talk up a storm and has just over a hundred words! She has quite the temper (as evidenced by her playing with her big sister!) and is very loving.
Would love to hear what your little ones are up to!

My name is Mike Potegal. I am a pediatric neuropsychologist at the University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis (this is a fancy way of saying that I evaluate kids of all ages with all sorts of behavior and school problems.) My particular interest is in tantrums-I and my research team are trying to learn about how kid's tantrum behaviors relate to their feelings. In our current study, we are collecting home videos or DVDs that show an entire tantrum of a 2 or 3 year old, from beginning to end. We will pay $75 for videos that are submitted along with a tantrum calendar and a standard questionnaire about the child's personality. All material will remain confidential and used for research purposes only. Please contact me at poteg001@umn.edu before submitting anything.
I understand that Totspot is a safe site for parents to discuss their interests and concerns and that my message is a bit unusual. Thanks for allowing me to post it. To show my appreciation, and as a regular part of the study, I will be glad to discuss questions or concerns that people have about their children's emotional development.
