I also would like to know that. There is less videos and posts about this software.

Hi Everyone!

I'm trying LR and LM. My son so far doesn't have much patience with LR, but he is loving Little Musician.

I wonder if there is a problem to mix both in a same session, with both programs open and using ALT+TAB between "Enters".
Of course I know it's possible, but my question is if it is not recommended considering all the theory behind these softwares.

That is a wonderful idea!

I use Facebook and blog to spread some news to family members, but anyway, I'm broadcasting. I'm not receiving back. The private page is perfect.

I can try but I think only few people will actually contribute.

The interesting point I think about you post, is that your daughter has "social network" concept pretty clear in her mind. Or at least will have soon.

Well, I'll be also expecting the answers from this topic. So far I have so little time daily with my son, but he is still very young so it is easy. I can't wonder what is coming.

Thank you Korrale4kq for your advices.

I'm still reading about IOS apps in this forum. As you said, there is a lot of posts about it.

I speak so far to my son only in English at home and outside too. But if there is someone in the conversation, I change to Portuguese most times. So far I had no problem with this but I still don't fell 100% comfortable. But I think I have to respect my son's culture. If in some months he shouts in public something in English, I'll have to answer in English, after all, I'm giving him this education.

My son started rolling at 5 months. Everyone is different

Thank you Korrale4kq,

I will check every app you said. Do you use free versions or did you buy them all?

Thank you cokers4life

Korrale4kq, I already have an iPad and I have two apps that I like for my son, one from Thomas and Friends and the other is Monkey Preschool Lunchbox.

What app would you recommend?

Another question: why Inno instead of LeapFrog?

Please give us more information about what they said regarding part time enrolment. I think part time on site enrolment would be the ideal situation. If my kids could go to school 3 days a week and be home schooled for 3 I would be sooooooo happy! They would be soooo happy and all the work we want done would get done. Including the extra curricular stuff like music and languages.
After schooling takes a delicate balance of play and rest time, focused learning time, and extra curricular activities. To excell beyond school level your need kids who can buckle down for one to two hours a day.  Really it's one Saxon lesson a day and some reading time. I would ideally work them more until they can read anything put in front of them. Here we just switch the focus. The first 2 years are focused on reading until they are high school level readers then we switch to math focus for after schooling.
We use car travel time for extra learning like history, geography and science. My kids are in the car a minimum of 7 hours a week. The more car learning we can do the better 
I wonder what I have to do in Australia to get part time schooling approved? 

Dear Mandabplus3

Sorry but I’m not receiving e-mails from this topic. I guess your question was for me. About my inquiry on Laurel Springs, they said that enrolling a young kid full time in two schools would not be a good idea. They have part time beginning on 4th grade, and by part time it means taking up to three courses and the child won’t receive a diploma from them, since the main school is supposed to be another one. If a child is enrolled in four or more courses, it’s considered Full-Time. That is what they told me.

I'm also doing this Mela Bala... reading everything in this forum 

This is a great environment. If EL had come to my mind earlier I would have started as soon as possible. I'm starting now and I see some difficulties with my active 18-month-toddler.

But since I already used to read to him, I think LR is being really helpful. Yesterday I got him pretending to read a message on the elevator, pointing to words and saying any word that came to his mind. Also I saw him pretending to spell the words “car park”, pointing to each letter and making some sounds.

Wow cokers4life

That was really helpful!

As far as I know, I think the LeapPad may not be the greatest thing in terms of technology, but its apps are great. I have Android and iPad devices, and although they are much better and much more powerful than a LeapPad, the apps aren't really that great. And also there is too much distraction.

Am I right?

You said you have a Nabi. What version is it?

I was considering to buy one instead of the LeapPad but I've read some reviews and I realized that the built-in Apps are just those free Apps you can download with any Android device, and full of ads. Is it true? I think a Nabi is a high-tech gadget but without the concern of a good curriculum. Also I saw several complaining on Nabi 2 about broken screen and non-access to the Nabi environment on the clouds.

We used only water until 6 months and then we started using a special toothpaste with less components in its formula. It was recommended by the doctor and dentist. With 6 months my son had already a lot of teeth.

Thank you!

And by the way, only now I saw that I wrote repliy instead of reply. Now I changed the topic.

Hello smidget810

I'm also new here but I suggest you to search for "YBCR" which stands for Your Baby Can Read. I've seen a lot of people talking about it here. Go to the "search" link in the end of this page.
