What do you guys do with your toddlers & preschoolers during the day?

littlenick

Just curious what you stay-at-home mothers do with your toddlers and preschoolers all day? Do you have some sort of formalized "curriculum" or schedule that you do with them to teach them various things? Or do you let them decide what they want to do? I stay at home with my two boys, ages 1 & 3, and I feel really guilty all the time that I don't do any sort of formal teaching or activities with them. We really don't watch much TV; most of the time, I just let them play freely. My three-year-old is especially into playing firefighter these days. Anyway, just wondering!
Thanks!

Answer
I let my toddler play what he wants. He goes two half days at a Montessori and we have two playgroups we attend a few times a month. I don't have a "curriculum" b/c I think that he is learning and mastering things everyday without a lot of structure on my part. We color, read, build blocks(his favorite), wrestle, go to the park. When they're so young, getting their attention long enough to do some sort of formal teaching activities is tough...not to say that you can't sit down with them and play educational toys and things. Don't be too hard on yourself. They've got about 12 years(at least) of formal education so let them enjoy being kiddos. Good luck!

Has your kids toys ever went off by themselves?

best kids riding toys image

Q. I'm a little parnoid because the house we lived in before was haunted for those who believe me. Now were living in a apartment & this 1 particular toy(riding toy) keeps going off during the night by itself. How could this happen? AND has your kids toys ever done the same thing?

Answer
Oh yes this has happened a lot. Very creepy.

But there are a few reasons for this.

My son got a remote control air plane when he was little. It was preschool type toy and he would hold the controls like a steering wheel and drive the plane around the house.

We noticed sometimes while watching tv the airplane would make noises when no one was near it. It would beep, wheels would turn & so on. Other times the tv would flicker too or get static on it.

Turned out that the remote for the airplane and our tv remote were on the same what is it called frequency. My husband discovered this himself. He's an electronic engineer.

Another time in our old house during the middle of the night we'd hear a preschool Mr. Potato head game going off by itself. We'd hear out of the blue "Opps, I lost all my parts can you help me?" lol Drove us crazy! The toy didn't have an off button & would time out making itself go to sleep. It would go on & off by itself often. At first thought it was our dog or even our daughter sneaking out at night bumping it. But we'd put it on top of the tv stand out of reach and it would still do it!

My daughter loaned the toy to our neighbor one weekend. Late one night around 11pm our neighbor knocked on the door in his robe. He looked tired and had the game saying it would shut up. lol

Turns out it was the batteries were low. We found replacing them more often when the screen dimmed it stopped doing it.

We've had other toys too that do this. Toys that light up and play music are creepy. We had a stuffed bear that would start to play Twinkle Twinkle little star on it's own.

I do believe in haunted houses. I grew up in Columbus, MS. I saw it profile on tv a few years ago as one of the most "Haunted towns in MS." Dateline or Primetime profiled it. I grew up being one of the kids in the victorian houses for tour groups. We'd make butter, decorate a christmas tree, sew and stuff like that while tour groups walked by.

All the homes in the area were haunted. My best friend & I often changed clothes in a room where a baby had died. You would see the form of the baby on the feather bed. The maid would fix the bed before tours and sometimes while standing there changing we'd see the form appear by itself. It was a high bed so we thought maybe something was pulling on it from under it but that never happened.

I grew up in an area where part of civil war took place. Ditches were dug all through out neighborhood. They were ditches the soldiers would hid behind while they fought against the north. Plus many indians died in the area too. We had a famous trial near us & as you walked through the woods trees marked in red paint were where indians had been buried. Very creep.

My 14yr old says we have ghosts in the house. We have an old piano from the mid 1800s. My daughter says she often sees a little girl around 10 sitting near it at night. The idea scares me to death. lol

I've often smelled and felt my grandfather's presence. I smell Old Spice & Peppermints.

Now I don't believe ghost can move things or touch things. Ghosts are mentioned in the bible after Jesus dies and he is seen in ghost form. http://www.jesusreligion.com/ghosts_bible.html Ghosts are more the spirit that moves our human body. We pass easily from Heaven to Earth.

My brother in law is a Baptist pastor and we've often spoke on this subject.

Demons are the ones who attack, move things and throw things. Demons, I believe are after the spirits who belong to God. Demons can trap the spirits. Demons also want to attack us and use us to attack others.

you can't believe in the good with out believing in the bad

Edit - "I do believe in ghosts but they don't play with little kid toys, that's just silly. " - very true. It is more the engery not ghosts can't touch things but their energy can.

I watched a tv show that showed a demonologist talking to a ghost child who was trapped by a demon. They tested the power of the little girl to make sure she wasn't a demon. she was asked to turn and move the flashlight which she didn't. Then she was asked dim it which she did.

How often do you wash your kids toys?

mystic_eye

Stuffed animals?
Plastic toys?
Large toys like exersaucer, playpen, ride on toys?

Just wondering.

Thanks.

(I really don't do it very often, I think I should do it more, and I am trying to figure out what is reasonable)
I assure you "too clean" is not an issue in my house.

Answer
Stuffed toys: when they start to stink.

Plastic toys: almost never

Saucer: I would clean it every once in a while or if there was barf, food etc. on it.

Kids are tough, they eat dirt, pick their noses and share it with friends, etc., I wouldn't worry about germs if I were you. So long as they learn to wash their hands and are developing good hygiene, you're fine.

Studies have shown that "germaphobe" parents cause more harm by not allowing their children's immune systems to develop by keeping kids and their environments TOO clean....

What games of war do kids play these days ?

best japanese toys kids image

D700 dug

When I was young and WW2 was a recent memory all our war games as kids were fighting as either Germans or Allied troops shooting one another with sticks and toy guns as kids do.

( We never pretended to be Japanese soldiers as they were considered to alien and despicable )

I am just wondering do kids still play "War" ?

if so who are the good guys and who are the baddies ?

Do kids remember Vietnam ? Do they shoot "terrorists"?

Answer
they play a video game called call of duty. the newest one in modern warfare 2 and in it you play as task force 101 and try to crash a terrorist organization. in the online mode, you and 11-17 others play in evenly numbered teams or free for all and kill each otherr. the game is played in a first person mode and consists of factions that are randomly assigned before each game. within the community friends can start clans and groups etc. the game is considered controversial because you play as a terrorist and shoot innocent people in an airport in one level. it is rated 17+ but most parent permit kids as young as 7 to play. i am 14 and play 2-10 hours a day and at least 15 hours every weekend. players level up from 1-70 and can do this over and over 10 times. compared to some 10 hours in one day is very little. outside of the video games it is a rare happening.

What website could i purchase a kimono outfit for a 1 year old?

DKTH

Its going to be her b-day soon and she cant walk yet, but she has these walking toys and everything already. The first thing that came to mind was a dazzling dress, but then i thought of a kimono. Or anything else for a one year old, i dont really want to get into toys though because she has enough.

Answer
eBay is okay, but some of the stuff that gets called a kimono there is so inaccurate it's scary. You need to be really careful when looking for kimono on eBay. If you want a real kimono, try these places:

Ichiroya's children and babies section: http://www.ichiroya.com/item/list/006/

Yamatoku's kids' kimono: http://www.yamatoku.jp/classic/listing.asp?genre=12

Kimono Lily's kids' kimono: http://www.chuu.com/shop/list/00037/000

Ryu Japan's girls' kimono: http://www.net-shinei.co.jp/antique_ryujapan/item/list.php?Cate=410

Japanese Antiques' kids' section: http://www.japanese-antiques.jp/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10&zenid=bddvqelmcgdf0jg2l5lhtq6s3n37u2g1

Bokunan-do has kimono for kids: http://www.shop-japan.co.jp/english-boku/kimono-kids.htm

Remember too that if you actually intend for her to wear it someday, she's also going to need a lot of different accessories (obi, obi age, obi jime, juban, and tabi; possibly also an obi makura and obi ita, but I'm not sure about those). It's highly unlikely that a one-year-old would wear the same kind of kimono as, say, a three-year-old or an even older child, since children's kimono are basically just small versions of what adults wear.

Parents : What are some of your kids' favorite Christmas Traditions ?

best kids xmas toys image

Rhyland Bl

This is my daughter's first Christmas, so we're still establishing some of our own Christmas traditions as a new family. My daughter is 7 months old by the way, but older kids' favorite xmas traditions are great too !

Answer
Oh December is a busy month here. My kids like going out with each of us (mom and dad) shopping for each of us in secret. They love picking a kid off the angel tree, someone their gender/age and preferably someone who shares their interest. that way they get a bunch of stuff they themselves would like and hope like heck they are making someone very happy. They like to shop for toys for tots, too. This year they have plans to visit senior citizens homes and read christmas books and take in small gifts they might like.
Aside from the giving, we do family stuff. Make gingerbread houses and tons of sugar cookies to decorate, drive around different neighborhoods throughout the month to check out the light displays. They go ice skating at least once or twice each december. We visit my parents on christmas eve,my in laws on christmas day and hop around to visit other family members and friends throughout the holiday break.
On new years they get together with cousins and we have a party. Champagne flutes filled with punch, confetti to burst open at midnight, games during the evening etc.

All day on christmas day- we have declared it pajama day. We sit around and eat and enjoy each other and the gifts and take turns napping and then get ready and go to the in-laws that evening. when we first declared Christmas day a lazy family day- we had some backlash from other relatives who insisted we must follow their traditions. We held firm. We needed *our* own family traditions that were good for us. :)

On Christmas Eve my 9 year old will leave reindeer dust out on the lawn and carrots for the reindeer. Santa gets cookies and strawberry milk and always a letter thanking him for the gifts he's about the leave. Santa writes back a little something.

What kind of things do 4 yr olds and 5 yr olds like toy wise?

If some students are smarter than others then why are all students treated the same?

best electronic gadgets for kids image

Foghorn

I understand why public schools treat all kids alike. I mean you don't want to give favors to one student and deny favors to another one. That is also wrong but when a student works hard and has actually achieved more than his or her class mates. Doesn't that student deserve to learn something else rather than the same old repetitive stuff that he himself or herself learned on their own?

Lets face it, some students really don't want to be there and they prevent other students from learning. That is why I believe that the private sector can do a far better job than the public school system. In the private sector the parents are paying for that child's education so they expect them to learn something. If that child isn't learning much then the parent can try another school. No two kids are exactly alike so teaching our kids exactly the same thing isn't going to work in every single situation.

Some kids do well in a public school system and others do better when they are home schooled. Wouldn't it be great if we had businesses out there trying to find ways to educate our children and make a profit for themselves at the same time?

Think about it. The pharmaceutical, internet and technical fields are an example of what the free market can accomplish. The students are actually breaking public school regulations by playing with their little electronic gadgets rather than studying in class. That is because the free market has produced products that are far superior to anything that the public school system could ever come up with on their own. Imagine if we allowed the free market to teach our kids. Wouldn't the free market find a way to keep the students interested?

I mean if they don't or can't do it then they won't remain in business for long.

Answer
I agree 100%, if the school system would go private, results would highly improve. Private or home schooling are the best options for education, the numbers don't lie.

I went to public school and my experience was teachers did not treat students the same. Many teachers would have over crowded classrooms. They would spend half of the time trying to control noisy and disorderly students. The other half repeating the same thing, to students who had a hard time understanding the subject.

I don't blame the teachers, they have overcrowded classrooms and few resources.
And I don't blame the students. Some come exhausted to school, dazed, hungry and even high from the crazy home life they have.

I was the lucky few to take proactive steps to educate myself at home. And would go to high school to socialize with students and help out the teachers by tutoring problem students.

What do you think about the practice of sending brag letters in Christmas cards?

spanner

They tell about how rosy their life has been and how great the past year has been to them. For example, their son is class president, and their daughter is on the honour roll. Some of them brag about how many grandchildren they have and/or how fast they are collecting them. They talk about their extensive travels or what wonderful jobs their spouses or kids have. Nowdays, they brag about their electronic gadgets and their computers. The sun shines perpetually on these people. You would really think they knew Santa Claus better than anyone else, and they make other people feel sick and depressed. They even seem to imply that they are getting all these things because they have been good.

Is this practice in keeping with the spirit of Christmas?

Answer
Hmm... not keeping with the spirit at all. We've got a family friend who sent those letters out every year until last year and instead she sent a family newsletter. For crying out loud, a newsletter. It had little blurbs for her children... 'Katie's Corner' and even one for the dog. She went on and on about how her son was a black belt and on the Honor roll and how her daughter was the best reader in her class and all this other bull crap that nobody really wants to hear on Christmas. I agree... they just want you think think they're something special. For them, Christmas is the time of year to let everyone know how great life is, even if it's only to avoid thinking about the downpoints. I don't buy a word of it though. It's great to share love and be friendly and even if people don't mean to brag, they do... and they shove the rest of us down. Whoever said, on this page, that you're 'not whorthy' to read those letters proablby has never recived such a Christmas card. I wish we could all brag and be happy for one another. It'd be great if Christmas worked that way, but it doesn't in our heads because the world bassically sucks.

There's an answer in here somewhere. Happy Holidays.

Why do schools push kids so hard these days?

Q. Why do they expect them to be so smart, they push subjects so fast, then a struggling kid falls behind, and right away they want them to be on medication, or hold them back! What is the rush, why can't they pace subjects so the kids have a fighting chance?
All really good answers, thanks but whatever happened to kids just being kids, they have a stressful future ahead of them, why stress them out now?

Answer
You people don't know how stressful it is because YOU grew up in simpler times where they just asked you what 4+3 is.

I will copy and paste my answer from a similar topic:

For you misguided souls... Keep in mind that an excess of anything is NOT good for you. Education isn't what it used to be when we grew up in simpler times. Kindergarteners have homework, first grade stuff is being taught in preschool, and fourth graders learn the stuff they shouldn't learn until middle school. That's ridiculous. And there comes the cutbacks on recess and PE(and expect the children to sit still for ever long hours-if they can't do that, they solve it by drugging them-and how dare they blame child obesity rates when they ARE part of the problem), and standardized testing for second graders.

A child does not grasp logical reasoning until the ages of at least 6-7 before they should be introduced to formal education. And numerous studies agree that in the years before that, play and sensory is most important in development to begin logical reasoning. Now it's seem this stage is skipped altogether. And standardized testing is virtually child abuse for second graders as a medium "of knowing whether they can read and do math" as a excuse for overzealous educators. Sure, they might be the best in filling in bubbles, but can they learn and if so, are the tests accurate in any way other than testing memorization. Because anyone can memorize a bunch of stuff, color in bubbles, without the slightest hint of what actually's going on. It's virtually child abuse because those who can't handle the stress face emotional suffering and the fear and disgrace of failure. And get this, the teacher's manual for testing second graders explain how to clean vomit(kids throw up from stress) from the scantrons so they are readable. And they feel nothing but apathy for the poor child.

One of the reasons for the radical change for the worse in education is the whole concept of why test scores and performance remains low. And to supplement this deficiency, there comes the half-assedly thrown in one-size-fits-all policy known as No Child Left Behind that addresses not one bit on how to improve education for everyone, how to reform issues(overcrowding, maintenance, order) and being able to conform to various learning styles for the kids. As a result, schools have to do anything possible under unreasonable pressure and circumstance to boost their percentages. And they do this by either dumbing down the standards or setting the bar too high and loading kids up with homework.

The second big reason apart from the idiotic No Child Left Behind law is an increasingly competitive world. Now this I especially hate. An increasingly competitve world equals a just as competitive society on the home front. Thus, people are obsessed with achievement and work and the economy. Is the frenetic pace for the better? Absolutely not. With what people expect out of kids today, the US is still falling behind in education. And other countries don't repress or overload their kids' learning the way it's taking place here. You can come up with as many tests and as many cool hi-tech gadgets and incentives you want, but the only way to make education any better is to fix the problems such as poor funding, overcrowding, crime, maintenance, then teach BETTER, not MORE in a lighter but more consistent manner. If kids aren't liking it, they probably aren't going do it or do well. And this can have implications later in life. We overprotect our children nowadays(and even THAT can be a bad thing in not setting up the kids for the future to be risktakers), but we are incapable of protecting their emotional well being.

For the worse, unreasonable policies followed by competitiveness is unhealthy. In doing so, people become blinded because the issue doesn't reach them. Childhood is simply being forgotten, since God knows the people are all about 'maturity' and 'discipline' without setting a reasonable standard for the children's needs and natural activeness. Some people devote their entire lives and still don't get the status they want. The people with 4.0 and over GPAs? They might not even get into a college of their choice? That's how hard it is nowadays.

If this keeps up, eventually the schools will be more and more like a prison than a learning environment. Children who faced mental torture and stress will grow up to hate school, drop out, not get anywhere with their lives, and face a variety of psychological problems associated with their stress etched into their memory forever.

Childhood is short. Maturity is forever. Kids are active, they need to go out an run and play to be happy. So how do you cope with these times? Sometimes it's best not to try to please everyone's expectations. Or, reorg the priorities(a radical change to cope with radical zeal). As soon as child comes home, he/she can have the day completely to herself to do whatever she pleases. But in the evening hours it's time to do that homework since she wouldn't be out playing at night.

Since society has to always label and repress the weak, being a child is hard. And it only gets harder and overwhelming once it gets to high school.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, the moronic No Child Left Behind law. Sure, no child may be left behind, but there sure are alot of them being dragged on the ground. And secondly, the rise of an increasingly modernized world, alot of developing countries=massive competition.

What toys does your 10 year old son play with?

who-wants-

My 10 year old twins (boys) don't seem interested in toys anymore. They're all about video games, movies, tv. Is your 10 year old like that, or do they still like to play with toys? and if so, what kind of toys? My kids also love to read. And they like physical activities like going swimming and playing sports, but those aren't things we can do daily or at our house. Board games they just seem to fight over and I can't always play with them to curb arguments.

Answer
That's normal but encourage them to participate in their sports. If possible they could play in the park or garden with their football/rugby with friends. Get them a few toys that are suitable for their age (wrestling toys, pokemon toys, spinning disks) they are lucky because they always have eachother to play along with. Good luck :)

How do you take care of a parakeet?

top kids toys age 9 image

Novedeep

So I just bought my Parakeet from Petco, and I bought some necessities, for example the cage, toys and other items. However I do not know how to actually tame and entertain it. I believe he is too young to actually determine his gender. At the moment he seems very nervous. He's not at the bottom of the cage, but is perched on a rod. Are there any ways I can keep him calm and relaxed? If possible can someone provide me with some information I should know about parakeets?

Answer
I think Wolf means kids aren't very good with parakeets? Parakeets need people to be kind and patient with them and learn how to interact with them over time... and kids just want to try and MAKE them do stuff by grabbing or poking etc., which is very frightening to a little parakeet.

Yes, it is difficult to know gender until a parakeet has reached sexual maturity (anywhere from 6-9 months). When the cere (thing that looks like nostrils) is pink or brown, it is a female. When they are blue, it is a male. My keet's nares were bright blue until she reached sexual maturity at about 9 months of age, so it can be deceiving when they are young!

*i'm going to refer to your parakeet as a "she" to make it simple

As for how to care for a parakeet… a keet from Petco will be difficult to tame, especially without prior experience. It is possible, but difficult. Hand-raised birds are very easy to tame, since they are weaned away from their parents and fed by the human hand a week or two after hatching. I would still encourage you to try to bond with your parakeet. Once you have bonded (or if you ever "give up"), please do get her a companion so she isn't so lonely. If you bond with her and can spend a considerable amount of time with her, you may not need to get her a companion.

Cage should be as large as you can afford/place in your home. Birds are winged animals. They are born to fly, or at the very least "flutter" if you choose to clip her wings (a practice I don't like but that can be helpful during taming period). If she can't fly out of her cage throughout the day, do make sure she has plenty of room to fly/climb/hop around in her cage, along with plenty of toys! I leave my keet's cage open all day and she still has a big cage with lots of toys!

Wean your keet off of a seed-based diet as soon as you can. You want her to eat a good quality pellet diet (such as Zupreem) and ideally fruits/vegetables as well. You need to look this up online. There are many things that are toxic/poisonous to birds that you wouldn't think of. Also, proportion of pellets to vegetables (and other foods) is something you need to research online if that is the route you go.

There is so much to tell you about how to care for a parakeet. Before getting my parakeet, I read several books on how to care for her in addition to blogs and websites. The books aren't usually very long. Do buy yourself a few… you can look for recommended books on websites and there is a wealth of information online as well. If you have any specific questions, I would love to help you answer them.

Good luck!



P.S. I forgot to answer your question about how to calm/comfort her...

You can put a little chamomile in her water to calm her if she seems agitated. Don't put the flakes in there- she'll avoid her water… you can brew she tea and put a little of it in her water. Make sure it is organic (has no other chemicals or herbs that could be toxic to her).

Make sure her cage is against a wall, preferably in a corner. You don't want it to be covered with direct sunlight either. You also want it to be in a place where there is the most traffic (where she will be around people the most during the day) and where she can see what's going on in the room & other rooms if possible. Don't put her cage where someone might pop out from behind her and startle her or something.

At night, make sure you cover her cage with a special cage cover, sheet or blanket. This keeps drafts out of the cage and makes her feel more secure when it's dark.

While she gets used to being in your home during the day, you can fold the blanket and place it on top of her cage to provide her with more security (some places in the cage will be darker and might help her relax to go there).

Talk sweetly to her and sing to her. You can read from a book or put some calming music on. You can put the radio on a low volume too if you like when you're away. Don't take her out of her cage right away… allow 2-3 days for her to adjust to the new environment first.

Again, read read read! There is a wealth of information out there!

How do I Babysit 4 bratty kids that can't do anything fun like crafts or coloring, playdough?

best kids toys 9 year olds image

Q. How do I babysit 4 bratty kids of the ages 2,4,9,10 years old? All we can do is play with their toys, eat. There is nothing todo, they can't color because they will throw the crayons, we can't do crafts, we can't play with playdough. I just need help!

Answer
Considering you are calling them "bratty kids" I don't think you should be babysitting. I wouldn't let you baby sit my 2 year old daughter.

but if someone is willing to let you babysit then you could get some kids songs 2 year olds really like that. Also if you can manage any sorts of crafts 4 year olds really enjoy making cards and such for there parents. 9 and 10 year olds could play a board game together.

What would you do if you saw a young boy stealing from a shop?

Q. While shopping in a store, you notice a young boy acting suspiciously. Standing in the toy section, he hides an item in his pocket, thinking no one has seen him. He is only about 8 or 9 years old. What would you do? You could do nothing and let the kid learn his lesson the hard way. You might say something to him. If so, what would you say?

Answer
I would keep an eye on him and when he goes back to his parents i would politely inform them of what i saw Or just tell him that his parents have to pay for the toy before he can have it and see if he puts it back or not.

What things should I leave them to be sure everything is going to be ok?

John A

I'm a father of 2 girls,ages 10 and 8.Their mother doesn't live with us.I'm going to another state for 2-3 days.They will have to stay at home.Please don't send me answers talking about social services,because they won't find that the kids are alone and despite this,the kids are responsible.I need your help about the things I should leave with the kids.Money to buy food and drinks,my telephone number and instructions - not to leave the house after 8pm and go to bed early,to wash their teeth and be careful with the electricity.They have been alone in the house before but for shorter periods - 7-8 hours(when I'm at work),so they won't be scared or something.So could you tell me what other instructions should I give them?Or something else to leave with them?Thanks in advance.

Answer
I would take them to walmart or another store and give them each like 10-15$ and tell to buy whatever they think will make them feel safe and not miss you. If they want to buy a bunch of junk food or candy and a few silly toys then let them. It's suppose to fun aye?

I would also let them buy a few flashlights on top of the other money you took them shopping with.

Help them make a tent in the living room!!!

I would tell them NO STOVE what-so-ever, and make sure they run the shower when they are talking to ANYONE so they can say that Daddy's in the shower or something. Make sure they know how imporant it is that they never answer the door for anyone or tell anyone they are there alone. I wouldn't stress about them having to clean either, what fun is that?!!!!!

What is a good plotline for a children's spy story?

best spy gadgets for kids image

Trust Me

I'm writing a novel for kids (10-12 year olds) and I need a good plotline that makes sense. I started already but it was bad and I had to delete it all. Thanks in advance, and if you have rude or mean comments, take them somewhere else. Thanks again.

Answer
I think you can never go wrong making things complicated. In fact, the more complicated it is, the more kids will be hooked.
Try to have one character who seems to be obviously the villain, but then isn't. Instead, a character who had subtle hints given about their identity is.
To hook both genders, have at least one main character who is a boy and one who's a girl. (They need to be kids or teens to hook the pre-teens.) That way you also have the way paved for a romance. (Pre-teen girls, especially, like that, and you'll be surprised how few pre-teen boys mind it.) If you want to have a main audience of just one gender, have the character of that gender set out on the journey and meet the other chracter later. Sidekicks, especially dogs, hawks, or some mythical creature, are also highly in demand for pre-teens.
This is cliche, but to make the girls (and the boys) happy, make the girl extremely pretty and the boy extremely handsome.
The gadgets the characters use should be a little magical, because magic is in vogue this book season.


(I gave you helping tips instead of a plot because I know you can write that spy story. I always find people work better with their own plots they made up. Don't worry about being weird or far-out. As long as there's lots of action and gadgets, some romance that's un-sappy, and a cool animal sidekick, they'll be happy.)

What are the rules/laws concerning flotation devices (blow up boats, etc)? It says fabric only?

best toddler pool toys image

Ann Onimou

We are going to Myrtle Beach for a vacation in September (to Pirateland campgrounds) and since I have never been, my husband was looking up stuff about the beaches there. We found this:

City of Myrtle Beach Beach and Boating Regulations
Sec. 5-6.
Certain Floatation devices restricted.
a. All flotation devices must be fabric-covered and have a 360 degree rope (three-eights inch minimum diameter) with a ten percent slack or must be U.S. Coast Guard approved as a flotation device. Those devices not meeting these requirements will not be permitted on the surf or in the water. This section does not apply to surfboards, paddleboards, and skim boards.
b. All retail outlet stores licensed by the municipality or county and which sell beach equipment such as chairs, umbrellas, floats and other personal flotation devices must display prominently a copy of subsection (A) of this section relating to flotation devices in that place of business.

Does this mean we can't bring our blow up paddle boat/dinghy (fits one adult, or two kids) or floating 'island' (also blow up but seats 4 in a circle and is meant for 'lounging' on the water) which are made of vinyl (normal blow up pool toy stuff, I guess)? What about other water toys such as floating blow up rings/seats (for our toddler) or pool noodles?

We come from Ontario and regularly go the a beach up here and they have almost no rules compared to Myrtle Beach so this is all new to us.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Are these rules enforced or are they just on the books 'in case'? I will be putting my daughter in a life jacket (even in her floating seat) for safety but I would like to put her in the seat so she can float 'on her own' (while I hold the seat) because that's more fun than being attached to Mommy all day. Here, I just put her in a floaty swimsuit (has padding inside) and then in her seat but the water is only up to about 10 feet deep even at the 200 foot mark there.

Any answers/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If we're going to need to buy new flotation devices, we'll need to save up :/

Answer
Those laws are needed and enforced there. The type of things you're wanting to bring are very dangerous in the ocean and won't work in the rough surf. The only thing you have listed that I'd even consider bringing are the noodles but even those won't be much use in the surf and will easily be lost.

There is no way you daughter can "float on her own" in the ocean surf. Simply impossible and far too dangerous. The ocean is great fun to play in but you'll quickly see when you get there that these types of things have no place there. So save the space in the car or camper and don't waste your time bringing any of these things.

Pirate Land is a great campground and I stayed there one time years ago. According to their website they have paddle boat rentals and that would be for use in one of the campgrounds inland ponds. I seriously doubt you would be allowed to bring and use your own but they may allow it. You'll want to contact them through their website or give them a call and inquire. I wouldn't want to bring that boat along all that way only to find out I can't use it.

Sorry for the somewhat bad news but don't be discouraged. You'll LOVE the ocean and have a great time I promise!

Good luck and I hope this helps!

What kind of outside toys does your toddler play with?

Is the daycare i work at ethical and how do you discipline a 2 year-old that have a hard time listening?

best kids toys 2012 image

Kaycee

I am 17 years old and i work at a daycare. I have worked there since may 2012 to current day and i am ready to quit!!!! I work in pre-preschool room also known as the 2-3 year old room. My first problem is that the age range is actually a year and eight months to over 3 years old. Its hard to teach the kids something because when i ask the kids what color something is one of the kids will say "blue" and another kid will say "wall" they don't all understand the same material. My second problem is that I a hard time watching 8 kids by myself ( the teach-kid ratio is 1:8). I feel like a lot of the kids at my daycare need individual attention because they all act out or they mimic their friends when they are doing something naughty, sitting in time-out, or crying. The other teachers (the daytime staff) lets the kids go "potty" by themselves. One teacher even left a child in the bathroom for 10 to 20 mins to make him not scared of pooping in the toilet. I do not agree with letting kids go by themselves because they mess around playing in the sinks or toilets or they get scared and i mean when you think about it, you dont know if a kid slips and falls in the bathroom and needs help and they make it seem like taking 5-7 kids in the bathroom that is made for 2 people is okay. When i tried that i had kids playing in the sink and in the toilet and running around with their friends and screaming and spitting in the toilet and i dint feel like i was giving the kids the time and attention to make sure they went potty all the way. So i started taking 2-3 kids potty each time. It was less stressful for me but other workers started complaining that i wasn't doing my share of the work. because i was constantly out of the room and i had the other teacher if there was on in my room change the kids that dont go potty get while i would take them potty. My boss then complained to me about how i need to be more interactive with the kids and i try really hard to be but its hard to talk to a group of 2-4 kids while other kids are i guess in my "blind spots" Idk if they are throwing toys or getting into shelves they arent suppose to or hitting other kids. So to be safe i stand in a corner during play time so i can watch all the kids and make sure nothing is going wrong. My problem is it seems like the kids no matter what i try dont listen to me. I put them in timeout and they get right back up and i keep putting them in it and they dont understand they are in timeout no matter how many times i put his but on the ground then i have other kids that flex their legs and say no and scream and kick and hit and gets right back up out of time out. its hard to keep them in time out and watch the kids the other teachers even went as far as putting him in a high chair for a few mins. Idk how to get them to listen to me. Ive tried everything i talk to them nicely and tell them what they did was wrong, i tell them in a stern voice that wasnt okay and thas why are in timeout and they dont listen and they still do the thing i told them not to do. And once one kids is doing something naughty when i do get them all setttled down then they all start doing it like when im reading a book one of them gets up and runs around so i try to be more interactive and yet they all start running around so i change what im doing to try to grab their attention, It seems like the kids listen to the other teachers but in my opinion i think how they act is VERY wrong. they discipline the kids by yelling their name and telling them to knock it off and ive seen teachers do stuff like slam a kid down on the the bench and say you do not eat off the ground and smack his hands and ive seen a teacher take a kid by his hair on the back of his head and yank his head back and say you do not get into the shelf. Today one of the teachers body checked a kid and laughed and said that is why you dont walk where im walking and then for lunch they fed them fish and one of the kids is allergic to fish so he had his own food well he ended up taking someone elses fish and he has a allergic reaction to it and his lips got red and puffy and he threw up and they called his mom and his mom wanted them to use someone elses medicine because he didnt have any there. Also they discipline he children by saying stuff like if not good im going to take you to go see mr spiderman ( all of the kids r scared of this spiderman figure that my boss had in his office around Halloween time). Idk what to do anymore i couldn't tell you how many times i have come home from work crying and upset. Im constantly feeling overwhelmed and people at my work think im slacking and so if i tell my boss i feel overwhelmed then he will really think im slacking, PLEASE help me as soon as you can im so close to saying im quitting and finding another job because i don't think its ethical and its to stressful.

Answer
I do not know where you live but where I live a 1 to 8 ratio I'd not correct for 2 year olds (I think it is 1 to 4).
I would look up regulations in your area to see what the regulations are in your area.
Also to me it sounds like none of the staff have any formal child care training. I suspect there are other violations at your place of work (I cannot over-emphasise how dangerous it is to let a 2 year old go into the bathroom by themselves, a toilet has more than enough water to drown in).
Also the space does not seem to be very well thought out. When you have a room full of 2 year olds (especially with a ratio of 1 to 8) there should not be lots of places that the children can get themselves into trouble (ie there should not be shelves that they are not allowed to get into at child level).

Personally what I would do is at the moment work as hard as you can. Ask your employer for a reference (I usually write one for myself and email it to my employer, it is easier for them as they don't need to bother writing it themselves, but they can still change/ add things if they want). After you get a reference I would put in my notice and leave (not necessarily immediately, but it is good to get the reference ASAP so you can leave whenever you want).

If you feel that things are dangerous you may need to report your workplace (anonymously).

How long would it take santa to deliver presents to children in america?

Jack Frost

Now, before you make fun of me for even asking this, I of course know there isn't such a thing (my parents never even raised me to believe there was). But, mathematically speaking, how long do you think it would take such a person to deliver presents to children ONLY in America. Seeing as there is about 73.7 MILLION children ages 0-17 in america in 2012, and estimating that there are 2.5 children per household. what do you think?
and logical answers please! i just really want to see the mathematical version of the answer, not just magic :]

Answer
Well, what do you think...twenty minutes per household with kids? According to your statistics there should be about 29.48 million households with kids. So. 29.48 million times 20....589.6 million minutes total. That works out to 9,826,666 hours and twenty minutes, or 409,444.44 days, or about 1121 years. (But there are of course numerous factors I did not account for...traffic, weather, does Santa need to do more than one trip because all the toys do not fit in the sled at once...?)

What is a good toy that will help teach my toddler colors?

best toddler toys green image

Gracee's M

I want to work on teaching my 18 month old her colors...are there any toys that help with this? I'm going to target later today to look but any idea's or suggestions would be helpful!

Answer
for a toy, anything with the classic colors (red,blue,yellow,green) would be fine. I like the classic rocker stacker with the colored rings. large lego blocks would also be great.

I prefer everday items to teach colors because the are ever-present. the sky is blue. the clouds are white. you are wearing a yellow shirt today. I'm wearing a red shirt today. clothes and everyday items are great for counting too. the truck on your shirt has 4 tires 1,2,3,4.

good luck!

What else will the fading generations mess up and then blame Obama?

Growth vs.

Who sent our jobs to China etc.?
Who sold the bad loans to people?
Who allowed lead paint toys to get to our kids?
Who hires the illegals?
Who gave us High Fructose Corn Syrup for a tax cut?
Who buys feed from China causing kid killing eggs?
Who does not be safe before they drill?
Who wants to raise the retirement age on the youth?
Who hires people in at 7hr in 2010 when in 1998 it was 9hr.?

Answer
1.) Liberals
2.) Liberals
3.) Liberals
4.) Liberals love illegals
5.) Liberals love tax cuts for farmers
6.) Liberals love China, and Communism
7.) "does not be safe?" Did you have a Liberal grammar teacher?
8.) Liberals need people to work until they die to pay for Obamacare, car companies, toy arrow manufacturers, and socialism.
9.) The French... and Liberals.

As far as I can tell, liberals are blaming Bush for all of their failings. Obama tried to "fix" the job market with bailouts upon bailouts, but it was a failure, and now he blames Bush. Obama is going to blame Bush when Obamacare ends up costing even more than expected and doesn't work. That's just how things work. Either that.. or Obama will blame racism. He likes to bring up the "fact" that every time anyone opposes him it's racism.

Why would the cat start doing this all the sudden?

best kids toys under $10 image

Positively

My sister has a 1 year old male cat (not fixed yet). They have had him since he was 8 weeks old and have not had any problems. He has always been a very well behaved cat. He has always done fine around their dog and two young sons. My sister gave birth to her third son last october and the cat was fine. Didn't seem to mind at all. She recently got a new puppy in January and again the cat was fine.
Well about 2 weeks ago the cat started randomly peeing all around the house. He has always gone in his litter box before this and now pees on anything he can find. Even things that are not on the floor. He has peed on the new babies car seat, blankets, bouncie seat, my brother in laws military uniform, kids toys, dogs bed and so on. They don't understand why he would just start doing this. His behavior hasn't changed otherwise, just the peeing thing.
So my question is why would he just begin this out of no where and what should my sister do to stop it? She does plan to call the vet. Thanks.
Thanks. I figured it was as simple as him needing to be neutered, but just wanted to make sure it wasn't a medical condition. She's calling the vet tomorrow to set up the appt to be neutered.

Thanks to the heads up about the enzyme cleaner.
Thanks to everyone again!

Answer
Hi Brit...unspayed/unneutered animals who become stressed with changes in the home will tend to spray to mark territory and is quite commonly more noted in male cats. Cats sexually mature around the age of 5-7 months and urine spraying is witnessed. It's truly important to mention to your sister to consider having the cat neutered as quickly as possible because spraying becomes a habitual issue which later becomes difficult to resolve even after spay/neuter.

Here's a well written web article about why cats inappropriately soil outside their litter box by Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine: http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/Housesoiling.html

Urine Spraying
When your cat rubs against your leg with his face, or scratches his scratching post, he is also depositing his scent from the glands in his cheeks and paws. Another equally normal but less pleasant marking behavior is urine spraying--the deposition of small amounts of urine around a given area. Spraying announces a cat's presence, establishes or maintains territorial boundaries, and advertises sexual availability.

Cats usually spray on vertical surfaces, like the backs of chairs, or walls. They don't squat to spray (as they do to urinate), but the tail lifts and quivers, and small puddles of urine are left in several consistent locations. Cats that spray are usually unneutered males and, to a lesser extent, unspayed females, but 10% of neutered males and 5% of neutered females also spray. In households with more than seven cats, the likelihood of spraying is high.

Cats may spray when they perceive a threat to their territory, such as when a new cat enters the home, or when outside cats are nearby. New furniture and carpet smells can prompt spraying as well. Cats may also spray out of frustration resulting from factors—like restrictive diets, or insufficient playtime—often wrongly perceived by humans as revenge.

How can I stop my cat from spraying?
Because spraying is different than other types of house soiling, different tactics are necessary to manage it. First, because there are often hormonal components to spraying, any intact animal should be neutered or spayed. Next, identify the stimuli that cause your cat to spray. If outside cats are responsible, motion detectors that trigger sprinklers can be used to deter them from coming onto your property. Additionally, you can discourage your cat from looking outside by closing blinds or shades, or by placing double-sided tape or electronic mats that deliver mild shocks onto your windowsills.

Address possible sources of frustration that may be causing your cat to spray. For example, introduce a new diet gradually, or discontinue it until the spraying is under control. Increasing the amount of playtime for an under-stimulated cat may also help ease frustration.

Spraying can also result from territorial disputes between cats in the same household. They may need to be separated and reintroduced slowly, using food treats to reward and encourage peaceful behavior.

Applying odor neutralizers anywhere your cat has sprayed may prevent him from spraying there again. Another useful commercial product is Feliway®, a synthetic pheromone that, when applied to household surfaces, mimics the scent of cat cheek gland secretions. Many cats will not spray on areas that have this scent. (See the end of this brochure for information on where to purchase the above-mentioned products.)

If you are located within the USA nearly all shelters will offer low fee even free spay/neuter services. To locate a shelter nearby you consider visiting the website http://spayusa.org/

How much extra money should you have under your belt before it is okay to own a pet?

Hungry Tig

I really want a cat, but I most definitely can't afford one right now. But in the next few years, I would love to adopt one. How much extra money should I have coming in every month or year before I should consider it? Covering cost of the cat ($200-600?), the food, the litter and litter box, the puke cleaner, the dishes, the toys, and most importantly, money to be put aside in case a trip to the vet is needed.

Answer
If you get a kitty from a shelter the initial costs would be
Cat: $75-$175
Carrier: $10-$40
Dishes: $20
Litter Box: $20
Toys: $20-$30
Brushes: $10-$30
Bed: $30
Scratching Post: $30-$150
Registration: $20-$40 (depends on where you live)

"Free kitten" add on
Spay/Neuter: $100-$150
Microchip/Tattoo: $50-$100
Vaccinations: $150-$200

On-going Costs
Food: $20-$50/month
Litter: $10-$30/month
Deworming: $20-$30/year or $10-$20/month
Annual check/Vaccinations: $70-$150

It's always good to have an emergency fund in case your fur kid needs to go to the emergency animal hospital or develops an illness that needs to be attended to, diagnosing and treating a problem can get quite expensive but it's worth every penny to keep your friend happy and healthy! I'm glad to hear you are waiting until you are sure you can properly care for a cat, people often cut corners by not getting their kitties fixed or vaccinated or checked regularly or buying cheaper lower quality food/ Good for you!

Anyone remember what kinds of toys 6 year old boys liked to play with around the year 1966?

best kids toys of the 90s image

ni73

I'm writing a book and the main character walks into her brother's room to find him playing. I'm a '90s baby, so I wouldn't know what types of toys kids played with in the '60s. I was thinking Star Wars, but I did research and it said Star Wars first aired around 1977.

Answer
Since I was a 6 YO boy in 1966, I can tell you that my favorite toys were my Tonka Trucks, especially the big fire engine, and my Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs. It was great fun to build stuff then knock it all down with the trucks.

How do i wash bath toys safely?

I want to soak and wash my kid's bath toys to disinfect them but i don't know what type og cleaner i should use. I have a 3 year old, 18 month old, and a 1 month old.

Thanks.

Answer
You can run them through the dishwasher, or put them in the laundry machine with laundry. Just using regular soap and very hot water.

What do you store kids bath toys in?

Incognito

We have a ton of bath toys and I originally had a fish made for bath toys that was made out of netting. It started to smell, so I tossed it. I replaced it with a netted laundry bag - I have only had it a month and now it stinks. I washed it, but it didn't help.

Answer
Use plastic containers. We actually have a large bucket that we use. We've had it for almost a year and it hasn't smelt or gotten moldy yet. Plus the kids can also play with it in the bath.
