Please tell me, what is the best way to potty train a 2 yr old girl. I've been taking her in there every 30 to 45 min, but is there an easier way? Some secret trick?

Have any of you ever tried SENSA before? What is your opinion on it?

Thanks ladies. We talked this morning. I told him I wasn't mad at him and that I understood he was curious but that there were many reasons why he should not be looking these things up. Which of course I explained what these things were along with consequences of what it could do to him and future relationships and he seemed truly remorseful. We set up some new parameters for computer use and he understands that he must earn back our trust. I also told him that he can asks us (his father or I, together or seperately) ANYTHING and we would be honest with him. My husband had to work this morning so this discussion was just between my son and myself, but my husband plans to talk with him tonight.

Thanks for sharing this, it looks interesting :001_smile:

Thanks ladies. My husband and I plan to talk with him in the morning. As far as his specific terminology, he started out searching for jessica alba (sp??) and of course her pics and others showed up. So then he searched for hot babes and then for hot babes with b**bs. That search listed diff cup sizes (so that is where the "C" came from) and of course some of the things he clicked on had more than just n*ked girls, it had n*ked girls doing certain things, which I believe is what led to his last search. I feel just heart broken over the whole thing. My plan other than to talk with him is to tell him no internet access without complete supervision. I really don't want this to be a problem for him (nor for his future wife) and I also want him to know that I understand his curiosity and I'm here to help him and I love him unconditionally. For those of you who have been through this, I really appreciate your honesty.

Thank you ladies so much. I agree that it can do so much damage looking at things like that at such a young age. I don't want him to have a warped image of what a relationship between a man and woman is like. Nor do I want his future wife to have to deal with this. I guess I just don't know how to approach him with this and talk to him about it without making it worse. Should I just start by telling him I know he has been viewing inappropriate things on the internet? I really just want to bury my head and cry, but that wouldn't solve anything.

And as for how long he has been viewing it, only about a week.

Sorry, he's 11.5. He was actively searching it out. He was searching for pics of size C b**bs, pics of nak*d girls, pics of g*rls licking d****. Yes, I feel very naseaus at the moment. I know it is natural to be curious, but it still makes me sick to my stomach. I'm at a complete loss at what to say to him. HELP!!!!!

1st off, please forgive any typos. I am typing one handed while nursing my baby. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have had to deal with your sons about porn. What did you do or say and did it work? Do you think its a big deal or just a natural part of a boy growing up? (My husband and I are having differing views on this, but he is willing to follow my lead. I just need some guidance I suppose by those who have been there done that) Thanks for ANY advice.

Anyone?

Would a child who has finished Rod and Staff Math Grade 8 be prepared for Algebra, or would a pre-algebra course be needed? Thanks, Kristi

Has anyone used this? If so, what was your opinion of it? Thanks, Kristi

Have any of you used the upper levels of HOD (Preparing, CTC, RTR)? What did you think? Pros and Cons? Thanks, Kristi

Julie, Thank you, I would really appreciate it. Kristi

Julie, Thank you for the reply:) Can I ask a few more questions? Did you have to buy any seperate history textbooks, or was it all included? Is there any structure to it, or is it just all a bunch of ideas and you have to schedule/pull it together yourself? Thanks, Kristi

pm'd you about Write Source Write Away 2: Textbook, Teacher's Guide, Program Guide and Skillsbook. Thanks, Kristi

Has anyone used Konos HOW for highschool? If so, what did you like about it and what did you not like? Is there alot of teacher prep time/involvement ? Do you feel your kids enjoyed it and retained what they studied? Do you feel it was worth a history and lit/comp credit? Kristi

I live in a rural area about 3hours south of Atl and we pay about $150 a month for horse riding lessons. I say about $150, sometimes it is $200 a month, depending on the number of weeks in the month.

Thank you so much! :001_smile:

Thank you Debbie! What do you recommend for American lit? If you don't mind my asking, why don't you like Stobaugh's lit?

anyone?:)

Notgrass American History and Stobaugh's American History, which would you choose and why? I'm trying to get a headstart on my planning for "next" year :) TIA, Kristi

Thanks ladies for all the help:) I decided on SWR and put in my order, so it should be here in about a week or so, YAY!!! (just to fore warn ya, I may be back with questions)

Thank you all so much for your help. I guess I'm leaning towards SWR right now because of price, placing them in the spelling list they need to be in and not in one where they can already spell the words, and I'm not sure I want an all-in-one approach. If I go with SWR, how many words do you cover in a day and is teaching a child how to make a learning log hard?
