Thank you for your input!

Thank you all!

I am tired of piecing together language arts elements with multiple ages to teach. I have been looking into Rod and Staff and Christian Light. Which one would be better to use if I want something that is an all-in-one language arts that is open and go? And if you know off hand, what grades are they for? I will have 1st graders all the way up to a 10th grader. I would prefer to find something that I can stick with for all the grades.

I thought I was allergic to natural deodorants because every time I tried one out, I got a rash. Then I read that the natural deodorant was reacting to the aluminum that was still in my skin. I tried again and after not using an aluminum kind for a week, the rash didn’t appear when using the natural deodorant.

Thank you!

Woo hoo!

I read a study once that said the most stressed out mothers had 3 children. But I agree with most of you, it is subjective. For me, 2 was the hardest. I have 6. I think by the time my 3rd came along, I knew what I was doing. By the time I had 5 and 6 (twins), I thought I could just keep going. I felt like motherhood was so much fun. Only reason I didn’t want to keep going was that I didn’t know how long my body would keep up.

Congrats!!!

I read through the book twice, too. (I’m not sure which edition.) I ended up doing All About Spelling instead. But having read the Spalding book made it easier to understand theories behind phonics.

ArtHaus, We are going to add some options this weekend. If you have any suggestions, throw them my way.

Heartstrings, advanced filters and searches are on our feature roadmap. Finding books that address sensitive topics that we want to discuss with our children at the right time is absolutely part of our mission: The right book at the right time builds a healthy mind. ArtHaus, yes, this is a personal project my husband and I started two years ago inspired by people who feel this exact way, though we didn’t officially launch until July of this year. Thank you for your kind words. We wanted to build a resource that we can all band together to save each other time and effort. “Many hands make light work.” Rebcoola, these are the rewards that resonated with our current users. I am happy to diversify the rewards. Do you have any suggestions?

We are covered by the fair use doctrine under the U.S. copyright law. That’s a good question; we get asked that frequently.

Wildflower, Common Sense Media does not allow reviews to be published if parents try to warn others of certain topics. They are decidedly left-leaning, and do not allow users to post if users disagree with CS Media. They also lean towards subjective reviews, whereas screenshots are objective. Lastly, CS Media is primarily focused on movies and less on books. Screen It First is an open community resource allowing anyone to post a snapshot (anonymously) that might be helpful for other parents to know about.

I’m not sure where you are getting that Screen It First is partnering with Brave Books. Can you tell me why you think this? Because we are not partners with any other business.
