Love it but I think I would like to see the rhythm (ta..etc)  introduced earlier and more varied. I think the children's songs should be done in the ta rhythm. Still not sure why mine crashes so much. Happens on the second chord recognition.. I am running Windows 7 and when it crashes it puts up a thin red x. It does not appear to be repeatable. Is there a reason why in the clapping rhythm section you only clap on one beat?

Khan Academy over 3000 videos for teaching and adding more everyday. Some school systems are using it for their curriculum. Great for people homeschooling. For the little ones it starts with addition, telling time, level 3 Singapore Math, and art history. Most of it is geared toward high school level or above but if nothing else you can use it to brush up before teaching your child. Excellent resource and hopefully they will add more for younger children.

Well I just downloaded the new version of Little Musician and I love it, but mine keeps crashing. Running Windows 7.It seemed to get worse after I downloaded the rainbow colors. I love the idea of different colors for the notes because I think children learn better through visual stimulus of colors versus letters.

About the crashes: they are not repeatable but always occur where the notes are being displayed. It happens fairly frequently like almost once per lesson. Chord recognition seems to be the most popular spot and a thin red x is displayed on the screen prior to crashing, click to send error report and chord comes up and LM freezes and restarts.

She is obviously out of line and loves pushing your buttons. I still feel your relationship with her is because of the relationship you have managed to create between you and her ( an antagonistic one). The only person you can change is yourself. What your daughter calls you is none of her business, but how she wants to be addressed is her business and it is disrespectful not to accommodate her. Obviously, the cigarette and lighter thing is out of control. Many smokers are totally inconsiderate of others.

Establish your rules and make them clear to her like: (your job not your partners)

No smoking, lighters etc around your child.
Your daughter will call you mummy and she is not to make comments,

But what she wants to be called you should work on.

I also would explain to her that telling her I am not mummy (your daughter is probably taking this as you are not her mother, not the name) and that is why she wants nothing to do with her.

You paint her out to be a monster. Maybe, she is worse then you write. But sounds to me like you have let a few items that could have been handled blow up into full out war. Still say your attitude towards her is a large part of the problem.

If she violates your clear and direct reasonable rules. Leave! She will eventually get the message.

Yes, I am older and have been involved in several of these types of situations. Most of them minor as what you describe. As you grow older you will find such trivial disputes a total waste of time. Obviously, your child's safety should be your main concern. Unless your child's safety is at risk it is best to try to get along. The best way to change things is to try to gain her as your friend not your enemy.

It takes two to tango and you are obviously part of the problem.

Your daughter senses your dislike for her and is acting accordingly. If you made an effort to like her or at least not show your disgust for her, then your daughter would act accordingly. It is your dislike for your partners family that your daughter is feeding off of. You can not change your partners mother the only person you can change is yourself. If your attitude improves towards his family so will theirs. Your attitude is apparent in your writing and you have taught your daughter this attitude. Maybe if you change your attitude your relationship with his family will improve. Your daughter did not acquire her attitude on her own. She learned it from you. Sounds like you are disrespecting them. Yes, obviously your partner is not anxious to confront his parents nobody wants to confront their parents. It is disrespectful. Unless they are doing something way out of line (which I did not read) you need to work on a solution that does not attack her. Attacking his mother is disrespectful.

Sorry to be so strong but the younger generation has no respect. Sounds like this family has assisted you a lot and you sound very ungrateful. I think you should look in the mirror as to where the problem lies. French people are extremely sensitive about their language. I suggest you work with your daughter about pleasing her grandmother and teaching your child about respect instead of being the disrespectful person that I read. Yes, not liking his family and teaching your daughter this is disrespectful. I assume his family is assisting you?

Maybe some of the Chinese people can chime in on respect. Hopefully that culture has not lost their respect for their elders too. Did not want to sugar coat things to you. Your partner has the same opinion I do or he would have dealt with his parents. His mother knows you are what is between her and her granddaughter and that is why she attacks you.

One of you has to be the bigger person and end the feud, and from a respect point it should be you. My suggestion is plan a fun girl activity with his mother and your daughter and work on mending the relationship. apologize whatever it takes, I am sure things will be so much better then what you have now.
Become her friend instead of her enemy, and teach your daughter to like and respect her grandmother. All the other problems you wrote about will disappear.

Yes, dealing with the guys parents is difficult for most mothers. I have been their myself. My daughter is their now. Trust me it is best handled as a friend with respect then a feud. If you make every effort to improve things and their is still problems you are on the moral high ground can look yourself in the mirror and your partner will be more anxious to help you.

Yes you can use it for as many children as you have. You can even load it on two different computers (grandma, sister etc). You can select which ever lesson you want and play it as many times as you want. This will probably be necessary because the children of different ages will learn at different speeds.

If they are old enough all that is required is the proper incentive. For my grandson if he wanted to graduate in school and stay with his friends, he had to go potty. Only took a day once he understood he would not be with his friends and would stay with the upcoming babies.

I think you may be surprised that DD knows more then she is sharing. At the very least you have introduced her to a pretty good vocabulary.

It still does it. It is worse on longer sentences. EX: The bat is a mammal .. Pat the baby...  I do not story history.

The sentences are still way out of timing maybe the difference is I am using the 64 bit version of firefox.

Well I am a windows 7- 64 bit users but this will run on that platform just not at 64 bits.

More importantly I would like an android to go version without all the bells and whistles just display.

It can be a disorder for some children (autistic), but if she is having no other problems some children just go through a phase. If you are noticing several unusual things, or if the problem is severe you should talk to your doctor.

The audio is done and the line on the words will stop 3-4 words short of finishing. Internet connection is Time Warner fairly fast.

It is all of them, but I just got a new computer so it is kind of fast, not super fast though. The verbal is way ahead of the line. Sent an email.
