  • Is my 5-year-old just going through an OCD phase?

    My 5-year-old daughter, over the past few months, has been acting obsessive-compulsive about some things: fussing that her chair at the dinner table has to be just right (pushing it in and out, making minor corrections to its orientation to the table); demanding that her cereal or oatmeal be flat "like a pie" (big Froot Loops won't lay flat like Rice Krispies, so she threw a fit); and refusing to get into bed until her blanket is laid out perfectly smooth and flat, with her little pillow in the exact center of the big pillow.

    Is this just an anal-retentive phase she's going through, or could she possibly be exhibiting signs of OCD? (I realize no one can diagnose this over the Net, but are there additional signs or symptoms I should look for?)

  • is there a way to search the Yahoo! Message Boards, either for a single news article or across all boards?

    I'd like to be able to search for posts I may have made to a single message board (e.g., search by name of poster), but I'd also like to be able to search all message boards for posts that contain certain search criteria (e.g., posts that contain reference to a certain website).

    Thanks.
