Why do all parents think their kids are smart?




xfileaddic


Truth is: kids are stupid. Only about 1 in a million is actually VERY intelligent. Odds are your child is not going to grow up to be the next President, or a CEO, or a Doctor, or a Lawyer. Odds are they are going to be run of the mill hard working American slaves like the rest of the people living in America. To those of you who believe your child is SOO smart, do you believe you are the World's Greatest Mom or World's Greatest Dad like it says on your coffee cups? You are not the Worlds Greatest anything. You are just another regular plain old parent.


Answer
Actually I know what you mean...

But - my IQ is well over 140 and my children were all pretty much band geeks, Latin Award winners, Math Award winners, AP/Honors students and even the younger ones are in GT. I've got three in college at major universities right now (majors are: Administration of Criminal Justice, History/will Major in Education, and music Education)

The only one of the seven of them that's not a fair nickel near genius is my 14 year old who's autistic.

However... when I recently remarried and inherited what I'm told is a fairly "normal" teenager, I was stunned at how "slow" she appeared to me. When the rest of the kids are sitting around the table at dinner bantering some historical, math, music thing about, she just sits there, deer in headlights, like a fly could fly into her mouth.

She's capable... she just has to work harder to make up for the lack of natural intelligence.

One of my "most genius" kids did 2 1/2 years at a major university, first as a math major, then as a philosophy major, then burned his brain out on drugs and alcohol. How smart was that? Now he works in the warehouse of a retail toy store. His older brother who was never quite as "smart" in school is almost done with his degree, works for a major retail chain as a store director and makes enough money already that he drives a nice car and owns a huge home in a nearby town.

I hate Mother's Day. I don't think I'm the world's greatest anything. I struggle every day to do the best I can at parenting and many days I fall short. But... I keep trying and they're turning out okay for the most part. So... "smart" is what you make of what you have. True intelligence is being able and willing to access information and then using it to the best of your ability in every way. You don't have to know it all. You just need to want it all.

Odds are my children will grow up to be:

1) a Criminologist for the FBI
2) a retail worker who will struggle his whole life
3) a History teacher at the local community college
4) a Band instructor at the local high school
5) an autistic adult who will live in a group home/supported setting
6) a Vet Tech (God-willing, this is what the stepdaughter wants to do
7) an Attorney or Archaeologist (the 12 year old is undecided)
8) whatever a 10 year old videogamer and chess genius decides for himself

I'm not regular or plain as a parent. I'm strict, I have high expectations and I do not spoil them. They work, they earn, they achieve, they learn. Apparently this is no longer "normal."

I am a bit curious as to why you seem a bit bitter. Friends with kids and lots of pictures/bragging rights perhaps. If you become a parent, you'll understand why all parents want to believe their children are so smart. It's like thinking you have the coolest car or the hottest girlfriend. Someday you'll look into the face of an infant and want to jump up onto the roof and tell the world "Look what I did!!! I made this beautiful baby!!!!" and then you'll totally get it :)

Nursery of child minder ?




Neilsbaby


I am going back to work full time after my baby is born. When he/she is 6months old I will need fulll time child care. What are the pros and cons of each ? Please share your experiences and why you would finally chose the place you did !


Answer
I don't know what your definition of child minder or nursery is but I use either a In-home daycare: a home where 10-20 children are watch by two or three adults, or a Childcare Center; each age level has a different room with one teacher, infant rooms have three or four teachers. Hopefully this helps you out.

If you are talking about a child minder being a nanny or babysitter...this could be a good idea if you know the person and can trust them fully, the child would not get a lot of socializing which I have found to be a VERY important part of my daughters life(she was very distructive, loud, didn't share with other kids, bullied kids...now a lot of that has changed thanks to our provider)...she can have FRIENDS to talk about and play with. You could arrange for special play dates with other children in your neighborhood or community that could help in the socializing...this may cost more? What would you do for back-up if your nanny gets sick?

I tried two types of child care, the one I like best is an in home preschool when I was in high school I had a chance to visit daycares and see how they ran their centers and how the children were treated and so on and then had to right a report...I put my child in an in-home daycare because I knew she was safe the center was right next to the school she will be going to next year, it is in our area that we plan to live, this way she has a strong relationship with at least one person from daycare. My mom was an in-home center also...they are a little cheaper and a little bit more homey. I tried New Horizon and the teacher was not as happy to be there and play with the kids as I wanted her to be. The kids just seemed to do as they pleased and run around.

Thing to consider when chooseing a daycare are:
-how many adults are there at all times...the ratio is like 1:10
-how many babies are there? 1:2 ratio
-what is there backround
-any schooling
-visiting? can you visit whenever you want?
-how does your provider inform you of what is going on? calendars, newsletter, emails?
-any awards? credits from the county
-what do other parents say about this provider
-how long have they been doing childcare?
-how do you feel when you arrive?
-do they have saftey undercontrol? gates on stairs? locks on cupboards, cleaning supplies up high, medication up high?
-how does your child interact with the provider?
-ask the provider if they have had any complaints? call and ask the county for reports on this provider
-do they keep their schedule the same everyday? other than field trips or special occasions.
-do they have diversity with in the center?
-how do they conduct free play?
-how often are toys cleaned? carpets? sanitized?
-what if your child is sick, what is their policy
-what happens when you take a vacation or have a day off? Is there a price difference?
-Do they have back-up provider for illnesses?
-How do they dicepline children?
all of these things should be available to you at anytime

Visit at least 10 different homes before you decide...you can start now...that would be best finding places for infants is hard because you can not have a lot of them in one place.

Ask the same questions for each and keep a list with you to record your findings. Make sure you are watching the children, how they interact with each other and the providers.

A center that I went to we sat for just a half an hour and during that time, I watched kids run around with yucky noses, hitting others, a little boy went into the bathroom to go potty and another child went in with him and the "teacher" did not even see it...nothing happened thank goodness I would have had to interupt. Another child was hit and went to the teacher and they did nothing about it. If that was your child...how would you feel! At my in-home daycare they don't always step in but they give the children "WORDS" to use instead of hitting or bitting ect. There are always three adult, two at a time, one with the babies and one with the preschoolers, that way if one needs to be out of the room there is someone to cover at all times.

Price: I pay $119 a week for a preschool teacher to care for my child outside of my home, in her building. My daughter is there for 45 hours a week = 2.64 I pay an hour.

When I had my child in a center: I paid $37 for her to be there one day a week for five hours = $7.40 and hour = $170 a week

What specific things should parents do to foster a strong work ethic & love of learning in their children?




Margaret L


How early would you start and exactly what would you do.


Answer
THIS IS LONG BUT REALLY WORTH READING!

I'll try to keep this as short as I can...

1. start as young as possible. If your child is still an infant, get yourself into good habits. Be what you want your child to be- because that's what happens, your kids really will grow up to be just like you and your spouse. SET A GOOD EXAMPLE! If you want your child to care about what's happening in the world- get into the habit of watching CNN. If there's something interesting in the news, share it with your child. Kids are naturally curious.

2. Many parents go to work for 8-10 hours a day and think that is a good example of work ethic for their kid: it's not. Kid's don't understand how hard you actually work unless they see it and do it themselves. When I was a kid, I thought my dad was so lucky to go to his huge office that always had fresh bagels and doughnuts and I had to be in school. When he took me to Daughter to Work day and had me helping him with his job for all 10 hours I really understood why he came home exhasted some nights! You need to SHOW your kid how hard you work, not just tell them or expect them to understand. Kids also need a lot of reminding-even the smartest ones.

3. Nurture, Nurture, Nurture! Make learning a fun and exciting thing that you do together. You can do many fun educational activities together- here is a small list of things I enjoyed doing with my parents:
1. Home science kits. You can find these almost any where- national geographic even has a series of them at Target. I loved, loved, loved doing science exparements when I was a kid (and ended up majoring in Biochemistry in college- coincedience? I think not)
2. Read to your child. It doesn't matter if it's Harry Potter, Goosebumps, Award winning children's books- whatever interestes your kid.
3. Rent/tivo good documentaries.

4. Teach them how rewarding it is to get good grades.
One system my parents used were those old fashioned star stickers. If I got anything below an 80% I got no sticker. 80-85 I got a blue sticker, 85-90 green, and so on. If I got 100% I got a silver sticker and if I got extra credit I got a gold sticker. Each color sticker was worth points-Gold being the highest. My parents would set up activities worth different amounts of points. Going to the movies cost less points than going to the water park, etc. If I got mostly A's and saved my points, I got to go to Disney land. By God I worked hard and saved my points and we went. The reason my parents used activities instead of toys was so I could also learn about money.

5. Reward your kid for a job well done- don't reward your kid for something they are expected to do. If your child keeps his room clean- good for him. If he goes out of his way to re-organize his desk (which you might want to suggest) reward him with money. Your child will learn that he benefits from really working hard at things and not just stopping at the basics. Once you start suggesting things to do as extras, he'll start finding things to do on his own. When I was 14, my parents would pay me if I had dinner made for them when they got home and would tip me if I cleaned up my mess. I was a mini Martha Stewart before I was even in HS. I even went out of my way to clean up dog poop because I really wanted an expensive pair of shoes.

It doesn't matter if you have money to blow on your child- don't spoil them. Buy them enough to keep them content and make them work for anything extra. It's not child abuse to only buy them two video games or stop after buying two dolls.

Make it a way of life for your whole family- not just something you focus on when it comes to your child. Step up your game- so to speak- you'll benefit from just doing that.

A few intereting things about my life to prove that you grow up to be like your parents:

My dad bought his first house at 19- I bought mine at 20
Both of my parents used to read at night before bed- I read in bed most nights and now my 21mo old daughter plays with books more than any of her toys.
My dad and a friend started a business. Curious- I married a business owner and after studying Biochemistry in college, I ended up going into business for myself.
Both of my parents don't go out with friends they much, they prefer to stay in. Now that I'm married I find myself doing the same.

Good luck!

How do i pay less child support than the guidelines allow?




Ginger


my husband had an affair with a woman and had a baby. He makes a lot of money and is going to have to pay 1,200 on child support, based on the guidelines. Is there anyway to rebuttal this amount? The child is 3 month, his needs do not merit 1,200 a month. His mother just wants the money to go shopping.


Answer
I am sorry but a 3 month old's needs CAN merit $1,200 a month considering the money is supposed to be used for housing, food (formula), clothing, diapers, toys, etc... AND if she is working then daycare costs alone can run $1000+ for an infant...

I spend just about $2400 a month on my daughter: Additional rent for a 2 bedroom rather than 1 bedroom, clothing (8 months old in 12+ month clothing already), formula, baby food, diapers, toys, Dr appointments, medication, new carseat (grew out of the infant seat already), entertainment (as in pumpkin picking), college savings plan (at $25/month), life insurance on myself for her (I carry $280k for $65/month which isn't much...), daycare is $1100/month, etc etc etc...

As long as the child is taken care of then there is no way you can say about how much the courts award...

You should stop focusing on her and more on the issues in your marriage... Remember that your husband cheating on you and that's why this is even an issue...

Babies and Toys?




TT


When do babies usually become interested in toys. My 2 month old only seems to like her dangly toys like from her bouncy seat, swing and crib. I was just wondering if she should be inerested in rattles and other things yet. Also, what are some of the better and more educational toys that they first play with?


Answer
Every year Oppenheim evaluates infant toys and gives awards for the best 'developmental' toys that engage the baby's senses and encourage different skills (eye tracking, eye-hand coordination, understanding of cause and effect, understanding of object permanence, gross- and fine-motor development etc.) You can see the award winning toys here: http://www.toyportfolio.com/Infants/Index.asp.

Tiny Love has several award winning toys. Their website is also very informative about how each of their toys encourages infant development. http://www.tinylove.com
They have several amazing infant activity gyms. (See link below.) The activity gyms tend to be pricey but you can find them for reasonable prices on Craigslist or Ebay.

Lamaze also makes many award winning toys. (See link below.) Their toys tend to be soft and cuddly with many textures, peek-a-boo flaps, patterns, colors, and sounds to explore.

Have fun watching your little one explore and see her developing right before your eyes. :D

activites for infants?

hi everyone, im a first time full time single mom, any suggestions on different intellectual play activities i can do with my almost 3month old daughter?


Answer
Congratulations! My baby is almost three months too!

Here's what I do:
breast feed, sing the abc's song and other songs, play classical music, say body parts and point to them (nose, mouth), say "kisses" and give a kiss, point to colors (objects, animals, etc) and say what they are, have baby feel different things (feathers, soft blankets, rock, etc), give lots of cuddling, talk to my baby often, play "peek-a-boo," read to my baby, model being polite (saying "thank you, please," etc) use a play gym, and use other award winning toys that are said to help cognitive development.

Additionally, I make sure that my baby gets enough rest and milk, which is as important as it is simple.

Why do all parents think their kids are smart?




xfileaddic


Truth is: kids are stupid. Only about 1 in a million is actually VERY intelligent. Odds are your child is not going to grow up to be the next President, or a CEO, or a Doctor, or a Lawyer. Odds are they are going to be run of the mill hard working American slaves like the rest of the people living in America. To those of you who believe your child is SOO smart, do you believe you are the World's Greatest Mom or World's Greatest Dad like it says on your coffee cups? You are not the Worlds Greatest anything. You are just another regular plain old parent.


Answer
Actually I know what you mean...

But - my IQ is well over 140 and my children were all pretty much band geeks, Latin Award winners, Math Award winners, AP/Honors students and even the younger ones are in GT. I've got three in college at major universities right now (majors are: Administration of Criminal Justice, History/will Major in Education, and music Education)

The only one of the seven of them that's not a fair nickel near genius is my 14 year old who's autistic.

However... when I recently remarried and inherited what I'm told is a fairly "normal" teenager, I was stunned at how "slow" she appeared to me. When the rest of the kids are sitting around the table at dinner bantering some historical, math, music thing about, she just sits there, deer in headlights, like a fly could fly into her mouth.

She's capable... she just has to work harder to make up for the lack of natural intelligence.

One of my "most genius" kids did 2 1/2 years at a major university, first as a math major, then as a philosophy major, then burned his brain out on drugs and alcohol. How smart was that? Now he works in the warehouse of a retail toy store. His older brother who was never quite as "smart" in school is almost done with his degree, works for a major retail chain as a store director and makes enough money already that he drives a nice car and owns a huge home in a nearby town.

I hate Mother's Day. I don't think I'm the world's greatest anything. I struggle every day to do the best I can at parenting and many days I fall short. But... I keep trying and they're turning out okay for the most part. So... "smart" is what you make of what you have. True intelligence is being able and willing to access information and then using it to the best of your ability in every way. You don't have to know it all. You just need to want it all.

Odds are my children will grow up to be:

1) a Criminologist for the FBI
2) a retail worker who will struggle his whole life
3) a History teacher at the local community college
4) a Band instructor at the local high school
5) an autistic adult who will live in a group home/supported setting
6) a Vet Tech (God-willing, this is what the stepdaughter wants to do
7) an Attorney or Archaeologist (the 12 year old is undecided)
8) whatever a 10 year old videogamer and chess genius decides for himself

I'm not regular or plain as a parent. I'm strict, I have high expectations and I do not spoil them. They work, they earn, they achieve, they learn. Apparently this is no longer "normal."

I am a bit curious as to why you seem a bit bitter. Friends with kids and lots of pictures/bragging rights perhaps. If you become a parent, you'll understand why all parents want to believe their children are so smart. It's like thinking you have the coolest car or the hottest girlfriend. Someday you'll look into the face of an infant and want to jump up onto the roof and tell the world "Look what I did!!! I made this beautiful baby!!!!" and then you'll totally get it :)

Nursery of child minder ?




Neilsbaby


I am going back to work full time after my baby is born. When he/she is 6months old I will need fulll time child care. What are the pros and cons of each ? Please share your experiences and why you would finally chose the place you did !


Answer
I don't know what your definition of child minder or nursery is but I use either a In-home daycare: a home where 10-20 children are watch by two or three adults, or a Childcare Center; each age level has a different room with one teacher, infant rooms have three or four teachers. Hopefully this helps you out.

If you are talking about a child minder being a nanny or babysitter...this could be a good idea if you know the person and can trust them fully, the child would not get a lot of socializing which I have found to be a VERY important part of my daughters life(she was very distructive, loud, didn't share with other kids, bullied kids...now a lot of that has changed thanks to our provider)...she can have FRIENDS to talk about and play with. You could arrange for special play dates with other children in your neighborhood or community that could help in the socializing...this may cost more? What would you do for back-up if your nanny gets sick?

I tried two types of child care, the one I like best is an in home preschool when I was in high school I had a chance to visit daycares and see how they ran their centers and how the children were treated and so on and then had to right a report...I put my child in an in-home daycare because I knew she was safe the center was right next to the school she will be going to next year, it is in our area that we plan to live, this way she has a strong relationship with at least one person from daycare. My mom was an in-home center also...they are a little cheaper and a little bit more homey. I tried New Horizon and the teacher was not as happy to be there and play with the kids as I wanted her to be. The kids just seemed to do as they pleased and run around.

Thing to consider when chooseing a daycare are:
-how many adults are there at all times...the ratio is like 1:10
-how many babies are there? 1:2 ratio
-what is there backround
-any schooling
-visiting? can you visit whenever you want?
-how does your provider inform you of what is going on? calendars, newsletter, emails?
-any awards? credits from the county
-what do other parents say about this provider
-how long have they been doing childcare?
-how do you feel when you arrive?
-do they have saftey undercontrol? gates on stairs? locks on cupboards, cleaning supplies up high, medication up high?
-how does your child interact with the provider?
-ask the provider if they have had any complaints? call and ask the county for reports on this provider
-do they keep their schedule the same everyday? other than field trips or special occasions.
-do they have diversity with in the center?
-how do they conduct free play?
-how often are toys cleaned? carpets? sanitized?
-what if your child is sick, what is their policy
-what happens when you take a vacation or have a day off? Is there a price difference?
-Do they have back-up provider for illnesses?
-How do they dicepline children?
all of these things should be available to you at anytime

Visit at least 10 different homes before you decide...you can start now...that would be best finding places for infants is hard because you can not have a lot of them in one place.

Ask the same questions for each and keep a list with you to record your findings. Make sure you are watching the children, how they interact with each other and the providers.

A center that I went to we sat for just a half an hour and during that time, I watched kids run around with yucky noses, hitting others, a little boy went into the bathroom to go potty and another child went in with him and the "teacher" did not even see it...nothing happened thank goodness I would have had to interupt. Another child was hit and went to the teacher and they did nothing about it. If that was your child...how would you feel! At my in-home daycare they don't always step in but they give the children "WORDS" to use instead of hitting or bitting ect. There are always three adult, two at a time, one with the babies and one with the preschoolers, that way if one needs to be out of the room there is someone to cover at all times.

Price: I pay $119 a week for a preschool teacher to care for my child outside of my home, in her building. My daughter is there for 45 hours a week = 2.64 I pay an hour.

When I had my child in a center: I paid $37 for her to be there one day a week for five hours = $7.40 and hour = $170 a week

Future RN


Since I was a little girl I was always interested in jobs that were related to the health care field. I always felt a strong impulse to help those in need. You would always find my cousins and I playing as if we were in an emergency room. It wasn't a surprise that I chose to become a registered nurse as a career. Dedicating my life to altering the lives of others is very appealing to me.
The need to help is imbedded into me which is why I am strongly motivated into being a care giver. Not only does helping people motivate me to become a nurse, but the need of more nurses also concerns me. Challenges and demands increase in the healthcare field and with these factors increasing, the demand for more nurses in the workforce is extremely intensifying as well. With out enough nurses and other individuals who play a role in the healthcare field, there wouldn't be a way to effectively provide proper healthcare and promote wellness to those who need it.
My career goal is to earn a bachelor's of science degree in nursing. After I have achieved that, I want to return to graduate school and earn a master's degree. I am very interested in the well-being of infants and children so I feel as if pediatric nursing would be my choice in the nursing field. I plan on advancing to medical school to become a pediatrician when I grow accustomed to working in the healthcare field.
I should receive this award because I am a very ambitious soul who is trying to make something out of herself and set an example for others in my community. I want to be living proof that it is not who you are or where you come from that gets you somewhere in life, but it takes your dedication and determination to take you somewhere in life. Academically, I strongly believe that receiving this award will contribute to promoting my educational experience.



Answer
REWRITE THIS ENTIRE ESSAY. do not talk about how the award or getting into the college will help you in life. just talk about YOU. BE YOURSELF. TALK ABOUT WHAT YOUR PASSIONS ARE. STOP TALKING ABOUT POLITICS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. TALK ABOUT THE "SPECIFIC" THINGS YOU DO THAT SHOW YOUR PASSION. LIKE YOU WOULD ALWAYS TAP YOUR MOM'S SHOULDER AND POINT TO THE PLASTIC STETHOSCOPE WHENEVER YOU WERE AT THE TOY STORE

Question for parents having kids and those who want to have a baby?




Denham


I am writing a blog in regards to pregnancy and newborns. I have a lot of great help topics answering many top questions.

I have gone past the pregnancy section (which included picking doctors, insurance, -->> baby showers, decorating nursery, even buying baby products etc..)

I am now on the "womb to crib" section and would like to know what main topics you would want covered. Such as: baby massage, bathing baby etc...

The next section is "growing baby" - On this section what main topics would you like to see.

So: on these two topics:
1) Womb to crib
2) Growing baby (infants only)

Thanks - this helps me keep to top topics that women and men would like to read about

I always award 10pts for best/most helpful answer



Answer
For womb to crib I think it is important for new parents to understand exactly how often newborns are really supposed to eat and at what age they can expect them to sleep through the night. I see so many new parents on here that are amazed their child wants to eat every 2 hours at first and isn't sleeping the whole night at 8 weeks old. Topics like when to call the doctor, the pros and cons of co-sleeping, and general advice on how to handle those hectic first weeks would all probably be helpful. Another hot topic is how to handle unwanted advice and criticism from family members and how to keep dad involved.

For growing baby you can have articles on when to expect (and how to encourage) the major milestones (holding head up, crawling, walking, teething), the signs of when a baby is ready for solids, and baby-proofing the house. Toy and game suggestions for stimulating the different ages is also good.

What specific things should parents do to foster a strong work ethic & love of learning in their children?

best infant toys awards
 on The Mother & Baby Award for Best Baby Toy (6-12 months) 2009/10 goes ...
best infant toys awards image



Margaret L


How early would you start and exactly what would you do.


Answer
THIS IS LONG BUT REALLY WORTH READING!

I'll try to keep this as short as I can...

1. start as young as possible. If your child is still an infant, get yourself into good habits. Be what you want your child to be- because that's what happens, your kids really will grow up to be just like you and your spouse. SET A GOOD EXAMPLE! If you want your child to care about what's happening in the world- get into the habit of watching CNN. If there's something interesting in the news, share it with your child. Kids are naturally curious.

2. Many parents go to work for 8-10 hours a day and think that is a good example of work ethic for their kid: it's not. Kid's don't understand how hard you actually work unless they see it and do it themselves. When I was a kid, I thought my dad was so lucky to go to his huge office that always had fresh bagels and doughnuts and I had to be in school. When he took me to Daughter to Work day and had me helping him with his job for all 10 hours I really understood why he came home exhasted some nights! You need to SHOW your kid how hard you work, not just tell them or expect them to understand. Kids also need a lot of reminding-even the smartest ones.

3. Nurture, Nurture, Nurture! Make learning a fun and exciting thing that you do together. You can do many fun educational activities together- here is a small list of things I enjoyed doing with my parents:
1. Home science kits. You can find these almost any where- national geographic even has a series of them at Target. I loved, loved, loved doing science exparements when I was a kid (and ended up majoring in Biochemistry in college- coincedience? I think not)
2. Read to your child. It doesn't matter if it's Harry Potter, Goosebumps, Award winning children's books- whatever interestes your kid.
3. Rent/tivo good documentaries.

4. Teach them how rewarding it is to get good grades.
One system my parents used were those old fashioned star stickers. If I got anything below an 80% I got no sticker. 80-85 I got a blue sticker, 85-90 green, and so on. If I got 100% I got a silver sticker and if I got extra credit I got a gold sticker. Each color sticker was worth points-Gold being the highest. My parents would set up activities worth different amounts of points. Going to the movies cost less points than going to the water park, etc. If I got mostly A's and saved my points, I got to go to Disney land. By God I worked hard and saved my points and we went. The reason my parents used activities instead of toys was so I could also learn about money.

5. Reward your kid for a job well done- don't reward your kid for something they are expected to do. If your child keeps his room clean- good for him. If he goes out of his way to re-organize his desk (which you might want to suggest) reward him with money. Your child will learn that he benefits from really working hard at things and not just stopping at the basics. Once you start suggesting things to do as extras, he'll start finding things to do on his own. When I was 14, my parents would pay me if I had dinner made for them when they got home and would tip me if I cleaned up my mess. I was a mini Martha Stewart before I was even in HS. I even went out of my way to clean up dog poop because I really wanted an expensive pair of shoes.

It doesn't matter if you have money to blow on your child- don't spoil them. Buy them enough to keep them content and make them work for anything extra. It's not child abuse to only buy them two video games or stop after buying two dolls.

Make it a way of life for your whole family- not just something you focus on when it comes to your child. Step up your game- so to speak- you'll benefit from just doing that.

A few intereting things about my life to prove that you grow up to be like your parents:

My dad bought his first house at 19- I bought mine at 20
Both of my parents used to read at night before bed- I read in bed most nights and now my 21mo old daughter plays with books more than any of her toys.
My dad and a friend started a business. Curious- I married a business owner and after studying Biochemistry in college, I ended up going into business for myself.
Both of my parents don't go out with friends they much, they prefer to stay in. Now that I'm married I find myself doing the same.

Good luck!

What To Expect At Emergency Custody Hearing?




Nathan


So I Have Joint Custody With My 6 Year Old Daughters Mother. Just Gained It Nov. 14, 2012. I Served My Daughters Mother With Emergency Custody Because My Daughter Told Me For The Second Time That Her Mother Is Smoking Weed In Front Of Her Again, (she can completely describe what weed looks like and how it is smoked) And ever since i was awarded Joint her mom isnt around anymore and that her Grandma is watching her while her mom goes to her boyfriends almost everyday. Her response was obviously deny deny. (judge denied my order because waiting on court date for more info, which is 1/30/13) I am working Full time, With a part time job and Working the navy reserves also. She is going to school part time. So her response was that i told my daughter to say those things and that if she said those i would by her toys. She also put a copy of her cannabis card with her response. Her Mother printed a small letter saying she is renting a room from her sister in law. The only brother she has is some guy that did time in jail or prison for raping little kids but im not sure that is the same person. My daughter told me 1/20/13 that her mom doesnt live with her, and only spends the night when her Grandma works late, and that her mom and grandma told her if she doesnt lie she wont see her mom anymore. Her Grandma Told ME "i pray for you to grow up" is that degrading? Also November 28th My girlfriends moms car was stolen. She has no idea who took it. My daughters mom Wrote me a text at 1 in the morning before any of us new it was stolen saying " a police officer called me saying that your girlfriends moms car was in an accident". Right then we called my gfs mom and she didnt know what we were talking about. i called non emergency and the operator told me that there is no way that a police officer would call her and give her any of that information. can that be used in court? i have a 2 inch binder full of emails texts timelines etc. Santa Clara County says any piece of information or evidence requires 3 copies 1 for me, the judge and the other parent. Do i need to make 3 copies of everything? Should i get statements from my girlfriends family of both the times my daughter told me about the weed situation? Anything Will help please? I cant afford a lawyer, i have a 1 bedroom studio apartment that i am paying for plus 2 infants that are also mine that live with me and my girlfriend that i also take care of. Another concern is that if shes not working then how is she able to prescribe herself with weed? Child Support? please please anyone help me.


Answer
This is way too involved to make a comment on the proceedings itself.

What I see is that you're concerned about smoking the weed and your ex is saying you fabricated the story and told your daughter what to say. That's called coaching the witness.

At the moment it appears that you have a stalemate. Her word against yours. You need hard evidence to support your claim in order to defeat her argument.

What I suggest you do is contact Children's Services immediately and complain that your daughter is being subjected to unhealthy living conditions. The idea is to have CS inspect your daughter's home so that evidence of the weed can be discovered, giving you formal evidence to present to the court.

Before I begin, my almost 4 yr old daughter has been through a world of change in the past year. A new baby brother, a divorce, having two houses to live in now, a new daycare.... now she is out of control and I've tried everything:

the reward system
bribery
ignoring her outbursts
time-out
spanking
giving her more responsibility around the house to make her feel like she's helping out more
taking toys and privledges away
showering her with my undivided attention
remaining calm in the face of her all out tantrums
even doing simple things like asking how her day was.

She is kicking, hitting, stealing toys, screaming at the daycare lady, fighting, refusing to move when told, not eating... you name it. I just dont know what else to try outisde of toddler military school (too bad they dont exist). she even laughs at me now when i'm discussing with her why it's important to behave.

i just want to know if there is another way to deal with this that i havent yet thought of? I'm almost to the point of taking her to therapy since she isnt listening to her father or i anymore and if she cant learn to behave, we will lose our daycare spot (which is cheaper than anything anywhere else and the only place with openings for all 3 of my kids) My oldest is 6 and hasn't really changed at all personality wise and luckily for me my infant is a saint! but my daughter who i love with all my heart and who is my only girl is driving me bananas!

any ideas?



Answer
I know you tried all of these great ideas, but over what period of time? In my experience and experience with my nieces and nephews, consistency is what is needed the most. I know she has been though a lot. I've been there as a parent too but you have to make sure you stay extremely consistent with your punishment, don't make excuses for her behavior at any times and be firm with your decisions and punishments. And one thing that worked great for me was a prize bag, a simple gift bag that I filled with a few toys and stickers etc.. They couldn't ask for the prizes the prizes were only awarded for when I caught them being good and doing things that they hadn't been asked to do. I wish you luck. I know this is a very challenging and stressful time.

can someone evaluate m scholarship essay?




Future RN


Since I was a little girl I was always interested in jobs that were related to the health care field. I always felt a strong impulse to help those in need. You would always find my cousins and I playing as if we were in an emergency room. It wasn't a surprise that I chose to become a registered nurse as a career. Dedicating my life to altering the lives of others is very appealing to me.
The need to help is imbedded into me which is why I am strongly motivated into being a care giver. Not only does helping people motivate me to become a nurse, but the need of more nurses also concerns me. Challenges and demands increase in the healthcare field and with these factors increasing, the demand for more nurses in the workforce is extremely intensifying as well. With out enough nurses and other individuals who play a role in the healthcare field, there wouldn't be a way to effectively provide proper healthcare and promote wellness to those who need it.
My career goal is to earn a bachelor's of science degree in nursing. After I have achieved that, I want to return to graduate school and earn a master's degree. I am very interested in the well-being of infants and children so I feel as if pediatric nursing would be my choice in the nursing field. I plan on advancing to medical school to become a pediatrician when I grow accustomed to working in the healthcare field.
I should receive this award because I am a very ambitious soul who is trying to make something out of herself and set an example for others in my community. I want to be living proof that it is not who you are or where you come from that gets you somewhere in life, but it takes your dedication and determination to take you somewhere in life. Academically, I strongly believe that receiving this award will contribute to promoting my educational experience.



Answer
REWRITE THIS ENTIRE ESSAY. do not talk about how the award or getting into the college will help you in life. just talk about YOU. BE YOURSELF. TALK ABOUT WHAT YOUR PASSIONS ARE. STOP TALKING ABOUT POLITICS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. TALK ABOUT THE "SPECIFIC" THINGS YOU DO THAT SHOW YOUR PASSION. LIKE YOU WOULD ALWAYS TAP YOUR MOM'S SHOULDER AND POINT TO THE PLASTIC STETHOSCOPE WHENEVER YOU WERE AT THE TOY STORE

Babies and Toys?




TT


When do babies usually become interested in toys. My 2 month old only seems to like her dangly toys like from her bouncy seat, swing and crib. I was just wondering if she should be inerested in rattles and other things yet. Also, what are some of the better and more educational toys that they first play with?


Answer
Every year Oppenheim evaluates infant toys and gives awards for the best 'developmental' toys that engage the baby's senses and encourage different skills (eye tracking, eye-hand coordination, understanding of cause and effect, understanding of object permanence, gross- and fine-motor development etc.) You can see the award winning toys here: http://www.toyportfolio.com/Infants/Index.asp.

Tiny Love has several award winning toys. Their website is also very informative about how each of their toys encourages infant development. http://www.tinylove.com
They have several amazing infant activity gyms. (See link below.) The activity gyms tend to be pricey but you can find them for reasonable prices on Craigslist or Ebay.

Lamaze also makes many award winning toys. (See link below.) Their toys tend to be soft and cuddly with many textures, peek-a-boo flaps, patterns, colors, and sounds to explore.

Have fun watching your little one explore and see her developing right before your eyes. :D
