At her age, I would do a sticker chart with a reward at the end of the week if she does it every day without complaining. But I have no problem with bribing my children. YMMV! :D

If you are certain she is forming her letters correctly, I think what you are doing is just fine.

With DD, I used baby oil. Let it sit on the scalp for several minutes, then gently comb it out and the dry stuff comes right off. Of course, then you need to shampoo well to get the oil off. My DD still tends to get oily hair/dandruff, but frequent (daily or every other day) shampooing helps.

Well, a good mood always helps! :001_smile:
I have noticed my DD has been more, um, moody lately. She is almost 10. Must be the age!

That's great! What did you do differently? I hope it continues!

Hello there :)
We are in NH and I think it really depends on the state, or in some cases, the district. For us, it was a very smooth transition. My kids joined public school about 8 weeks ago. I was told that because we had been submitting our "end of year evaluations" all they needed to do was register! In DS10's case, he was "re-registering" after 4 years of HS'ing (he went to K and half of 1st) there. The registration process consisted of a birth certificate, proof of residency and an updated medical form. It took me a day to register them (I called ahead and then went straight to City Hall for my youngest's birth certificate and to the doctor's office for a printout of their medical forms). They started a few days later! :) VOILA!
I wish you and your family the best of luck and happiness in your new endeavors! :)

Glad to hear your transition has been smooth. We are in NH too. I hope our experience is as easy as yours was! :001_smile:

Hmmmm, well, I disagree with her opinions on dyslexia. I believe that it is genetic and a brain-based condition. I don't believe it can be acquired, nor cured.

We closed our business when things took an economic downturn and things dried up. DH was offered a job that we never even thought was possible. We went for it and it is so wonderful to have the regular paycheck and health insurance. We did have some debt, but were able to negotiate zero interest until it is paid off. Closing the business was harder for DH than it was for me. But I do think it was the right decision.
Good luck to you guys with whatever you decide.

I put a smilie after to try and convey some light heartedness. I didn't think you were, I just did not want to discuss it any deeper with anyone.
No worries! :D
Ok, good. :)

I agree that hitting in anger needs to be addressed. I am not willing to jump on the "we would be gone" bandwagon though. If my dh hit out of anger and refused to look into why that happened...then we would be gone.
My point is that hitting is a sign of something, and it isn't always as simple as bad parenting.
Please do not go looking for there to be more to my words. ;)
I wasn't trying to read into what you were saying. That's why I asked you to explain it. I'm actually kind of hurt that you would think that I was trying to start something with you. Maybe that's dumb of me, but it is what it is.
I didn't realize you were responding in terms of if you would leave your DH or not. Thanks for clarifying. I get what you're saying now. I am very fortunate that my kids do not have special needs and I have no idea what that's like.
-
I agree, but we do not know the situation. If the family is dealing with a child with undiagnosed special needs, their parenting skills could have been pushed to the breaking point.
:grouphug: To your friend. It is a fine line between anger (because I have a temper) and anger (because things are out of control, I do not know what to do, and I am afraid about what this means for my child's future).
Help does not always mean anger management classes. There are a lot of things that could be playing into this situation.
I really don't understand what you're saying here. It is never ok to hit a child. If their parenting is pushed to the breaking point, they still must maintain self-control. Abuse is abuse, provoked or not.

We have gotten referrals for dd and ds8 for the ortho but we've declined to take them. They both have bilateral crossbites, as do I. Mine was never fixed either. I don't see it as a necessity. I have never had problems stemming from my crossbite. They have nice smiles so far. I am not of the opinion that teeth have to be perfectly straight.

I have major anxiety about the dentist, too. A few months ago I elected to have a molar extracted (it's way back and you can't tell) instead of having a root canal and a crown. I was put under and it was glorious!
I would find a dentist that does sedation. I would not do it otherwise.

You nailed it!!!
The worst thing is the fear-mongering tactics take attention away from serious issues, including the health crisis in our youth that is a direct result of poor nutrition. It would be far better to spend the energy trying to find reasonable ways to address that problem, but that wouldn't be in the interest of some.
Good grief!

:iagree: too.

Nice! Good for you!

How is his handwriting? If it's fine, I'd leave it alone, personally.

Thanks everyone. I'm hesitant to call the school because we don't live in the district yet. We are planning to move there this summer. It's 10 minutes away. <wishes for school choice>

I think even worse than an intentional cutesy spelling is a misspelling in a business name. :glare:
There is also a salon that I frequently drive by that constantly has misspellings on their sign. It drives me bonkers.

I prefer expository because in my past church experiences (which were not good and I do realize this colors my perception), topical preaching meant the pastor would give his opinion and proof text to do so. This also meant that his opinion was interpreted as Biblical, when it actually was not necessarily the case.

Here is the interview, if anyone is interested in seeing it.

My advice to you would be to go in somewhere where you can try them out. Try texting with a touch screen and see what you think. Then you'll know if it's something you can live with or not.
My phone does both, but I always slide it out to use the keyboard. I'm just not as accurate with the touch screen.

Wow. Eighty-five minutes in the maximum here; I can't imagine a three hour class.
I think this type of block scheduling is really detrimental to student development, especially in the areas of math and foreign language. Some of these kids may have math or foreign language 1st semester of one year and not be scheduled for the next sequence until the 2nd semester of the next year.
I have read various articles detailing how much a student loses with a summer break. Imagine having to teach the next sequence of math or foreign language when the students haven't had the subject for a full year.
The AP kids also suffer. Many of the AP classes finish the middle of January, but the students have to wait until May to take the exam.
However, block scheduling is good for the bottom line since the school only needs to purchase 1/2 as many textbooks. I wonder how much the bouncy balls are eating into the savings?
Yep, I agree with all of that and so do most of the teachers in DH's school. You are right. The bottom line is the reason it will never change.

DH only has to travel once a year for one week. I hate it. He is my best friend and when he's gone, it stinks. I have trouble sleeping, too. We've been married 13+ years.

I don't believe there is a camera on the 3rd gen at all. Other differences have to do with RAM, processing speed, and screen resolution. Also, battery life is longer on the 4th gen.
