Bed wetting 7 yo-- HELP.
Jumping In Puddles replied to LAmom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
It's not as expensive as pull-ups! My kids took the magnesium every day for about 6 weeks, then I went with a multi vitamin that had magnesium in it, and they still didn't wet the bed! I hope you try it because it is such an easy fix and let's face it, if there is a magnesium deficiency, then bed-wetting is the side effect, so if nothing else, their little bodies need the magnesium! -
Bed wetting 7 yo-- HELP.
Jumping In Puddles replied to LAmom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Get him a magnesium supplement ASAP! I swear by this because my 2 kids wet the bed almost every single night and I started them both on Magnesium and they both STOPPED wetting the bed at the same time. Prior to this, I use to limit drinks and wake them up in the middle of the night and nothing worked. The magnesium supp. worked quickly on both kids and I could not believe it! :w00t: -
Pot Shots at WTM
Jumping In Puddles replied to Sevilla's topic in General Education Discussion Board
It sounds like she knows how to get "hits" on her blog. :001_huh: -
I've been thinking about doing this too! I think it is a wonderful idea to let these inner city kids get a chance to get out of the city and connect with nature. :) I never would have thought of taking 2 kids though :001_huh: It actually is a good idea so 2 kids don't team up and leave one out. I could take an 8yo boy and 6yo girl....hmmm

I love you, SWB!
Jumping In Puddles replied to Sue G in PA's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I listened to it by myself last night while the kids were in bed and I was doing the dishes. I loved it, and decided to listen again tonight and after a few minutes into it, my dd6 comes RACING out of her room, screaming for her brother to follow saying "my favorite part is coming up!" :lol: Of course it was the underpants story :huh: my two kids were laughing for 10 minutes. A little later ds8 comes out of bed to ask me if that boy really did have magic pants! :D Was he magic? Were the pants magic? Inquiring minds want to know! :lol: -
RightStart C - why didn't you switch?

My son loves the drawing! That's one of his favorite parts of C. -
RightStart C - why didn't you switch?
Jumping In Puddles replied to EmilyGF's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
When I do C with my daughter, I'm simply going to move things around. We will jump right into subtraction, then area, money and time. Then we will move to multiplication. I didn't like C at first because it was too slow compared to B. But I think the addition review was just too much at first because my son knew addition very well and didn't need the review. I actually like level C now that we're finishing it up. I may supplement level D next year with MM but I'd like to keep using RS since it is working so well. -

are you on lesson 90 of B or C? -
Yes! The power of Myth with Bill Moyers is wonderful. Although I haven't watched it in many years so I'm not sure how dated it would look to me now. No one has mentioned Transformations of Myth Through Time but I think that one is another excellent book!

I've lost 16 pounds. I've been doing low carb and I was loving it! Why I sabotaged it today is a question I can't answer. :confused: I had a wonderful breakfast of full fat greek yogurt with blueberries and strawberries and cinnamon. I had coffee with equal and cream. Here's where I went wrong: For lunch, I ate an enormous bowl (or two) of N.E. Clam chowder with extra potato :sneaky2: ... then a handful of chocolate chips ... then another handful of chocolate chips and 1/2 banana. Because, of course, I love chocolate and banana together. :banghead: Now I'm sitting here bloated, tired, and sick of myself.

What happened to Japan?

I feel like he is setting himself up for disappointment. Many kids (thousands and thousands of kids) have perfect SAT scores, are valedictorians, are team captains, and have done volunteer work in a third world nation. These are the kids being REJECTED. If he doesn't get into Yale, will he think "I've worked so hard for this, and now I know; I couldn't do it."? Why exactly does he want to go to Yale? If its because he knows he is bright and has perfect grades and scores so he wants to rise to the challenge, I think that is admirable but still unrealistic. As you know (but he may not) there are many smaller schools that will be just the right fit for him and I would probably force a few visits to schools on the East coast like Dickinson, Holy Cross, Williams etc. I would probably try to get him to articulate what he wants to do instead of which school he wants to go to. Military Academies are difficult to get into, yes, but usually one doesn't just fall in love with the AFA or USNA. They fall in love with wanting to be a pilot or a SEAL, or serving their country and they want to go to the best and immerse themselves in military life. They can foster those skills that the academies look for, whereas to get into an Ivy, having perfect scores will not gain you acceptance!

I couldn't get into reading aloud The Frog Princess series. It came so highly recommended by a friend and her kids... but, I just couldn't get past more than 3 chapters. I didn't like the characters and the dialogue was so blah. As far as I can remember, this is the only read-aloud that I couldn't finish. I told me kids they could read it to themselves but I'm getting another book to read aloud! I have an easier time giving up on books that I read because I have nothing to lose! :tongue_smilie: I just got back from vacation and my beach book was The Gatehouse :ack2: by Nelson DeMille. It was the sequel to The Gold Coast which I enjoyed very much. I switched to Ashes and was not disappointed. :)
