M

y baby keeps kicking off
his covers at night. What
should I do?"
"My 8-month-old is still not sleep-
ing through the night. Help!"
"Is there such a thing as holding a
child too much?"
The questions came as quick as
labor pains during the 20th annual
Alicia Joy Techner Memorial Parent-
ing Conference, sponsored yearly-
by David and Ilene Techner at Tem-
ple Israel. The program is held in
conjunction with the temple's Family
Life Center.
Speaking to parents was Dr.
Arlene Eisenberg, who holds
nearly oracle status with parents
of newborns, not-yet-horns and
toddlers. She is the author of the
successful What to Expect series,

along with her daughters Heidi E.
Murkoff and Sandee E. Hath-
away.
Eisenberg created an evening that
was less lecture and more cozy
chat. She is a knowledgeable
grandmother, supportive mother and
informed pediatrician rolled into
one.
To a distraught parent whose
once-manageable 1-year-old is now
a food-throwing house destroyer,
Eisenberg's first response was a
kind smile coupled with the pro-
nouncement, "How normal." She
followed up with solid advice, say-
ing, "Don't laugh; don't yell. Kids at
that age want attention. Don't give
it. When food is thrown, the meal
is over. When they pinch, remove
them from the company of others."
Row by row, parents nodded in
agreement.
