Hi parents!

I have a son of 2. He is a very energetic little guy.

He has gotten in the habit of throwing his food when he is eating or done eating. It drives me nuts. Does anyone have tips what I can do about it?

Thank you!

Both my kids learned a lot of words with Signing Time

Fantastic ideas! I also spend a lot of time in the woods, and now even more since we got a dog 

I was totally AMAZED about what they let the kids do at the gym! I had no idea that kids could climb that well, man

Oh! My new fantastic discovery is a big blow up mattress; works just like a safe trampoline for the boys they love it and jump on it for ever.

Kudos for your kids!!

"Last child in the woods" is on my own list to read next

what? so cheap?

hi moms and dads,

or should I say - super moms and dads- man oh man, do I get totally overwhelmed by everything you guys post. Everybody seems so organised and knows what they are doing. I can barely manage to keep my house clean and the kids fed!

But, I found so many great suggestions on this forum! Daniel is now 4 and has a great number understanding till 10, I am getting the RightStart Math soon to keep teaching him. He started the Soft Mozart program and loves it.
All because of you guys.

So thank you!

I wanted to ask what you guys do with your kids for physical exercise?

Daniel started going to Little Gym and learns a great deal there.
I would like to do fun things with Benjamin, who is 22 months.

What I remember the most of Domans book on the subject is 'do more of what is there already"; in Benjamins case, that means walking, running and climbing stairs

I am looking forward to read all your ideas, links and own experiences!!

Hi moms and dads!

I am teaching Daniel to read and came to one 'problem'; he is bilingual in Dutch and English. Most programs that I use with him are in English, like LR. I would like to teach him to read in both languages.

Does anybody have a tip or experience in how to go about the difference in phonetics? Be in English sounds completely different then be in Dutch, is that going to confuse him? Or do I have to tell him 'This is how it sounds in English and this is how it sounds in Dutch" ?

wauw I am impressed with both you and your kid!!

When Daniel was that age, I got him a big atlas poster. He was very quick in recognizing the large countries like Russia, USA, Canada... Also very fun!

Hello everyone!

I would like to buy Soft Mozart and wanted to use the code i got through the redemption points... but the code i got was not valid? Does anybody know why that is?

Happy learning to you all!

Hi!

If you don't mind, I will attach my question to yours, it's similar.

i would like to give the lessons also in Dutch and Russian. Practically, I would like to show session 1 in English, then session 1 in Dutch, then the same thing in Russian.

I have no idea how to begin doing this!

Is this also what you are doing with your kid? Where can I find this clone function?

Does anyone have experience with the program Talking to Toddlers?
Basically... is it worth spending money on? 

Hi!

A little something that my husband noticed

Little Miss Muffet on day 9 is spelled *LiLttle*

So far all the research I have found on raising children in multiple languages says that the extra language to be learned needs to have a purpose. Also, the language of the country will often be the most dominant one.

Mom2be, when you hit the point where you want to teach your child more advanced Spanish then you can teach him.... maybe get a tutor? or a language camp? dvds in Spanish?

What are you studying for btw? I love your idea of teaching for a year!!

Hi!

We teach Daniel in English and in Dutch. I am a native Dutch speaker and my husband is a native English speaker. Our two year old understands both languages perfectly, but shows preference in some words. For example... Please is easier to say then Alstublieft.
It helps that my husband understands Dutch. When Daniel was born I spoke Russian to him. I would really like to teach him proper Russian, but sadly my Russian is not as fluent as Dutch AND my husband does not understand it. I find that more difficult to parent.
Me and my husband speak English to each other, sometimes I will ask him something in Dutch.

How are you doing it?

wow I sure wish i was one of your guys kids weekly to the zoo and swimming!

Thank you Wolfwind for the tips. I was thinking of working with themes and a semi-scheduled day structure. For example have a theme =cats= and show him pictures of different breeds, write a story about a cat with words that he can read, language practice about cats, walk like a cat, point out where a ceartain cat bread lives on the map.... In my head i could fill a couple of days with something like that, will see how it works out in practice
