Dr. B has a PHD in school psychology and specializes in early childhood development (ages 0-5). She is also my sister. Which is why I get to take advantage of her brilliance for free. Since Day One of Mommy Shorts, Dr. B has answered reader-submitted questions every Wednesday and thus added a bit of credibility to my otherwise ridiculous blog.

Lately, I've been getting a lot of questions about topics that she has already addressed. So I decided to make a Dr. B glossary for your reference. Bookmark it, refer back to it when necessary, and I will continue to add to it as she doles out more of her wisdom and advice.

If you have a question that hasn't been answered below, just email it to myshort@mommyshorts.com.
