Parents' Eye View
A forum where readers can suggest how to manage various

driving makes you uneasy. Your two-year-old enthusiastically
grabs the hair of any child whose head he/she can reach and
yanks forcefully. Children avoid him/her. If you have a parenting
dilemma you'd like to pose to Lunenburg and Queens county
parents, send
an e-mail to the editor. »
