Re: Re: Re: Re: JimmyA
Well, being childless, I guess it's difficult for me at times to relay to such things with any 'hands-on' experience. But I guess all of that is important, especially in the first few years of their young lives. Sometimes I'm really not sure of what I may be actually missing out on. It's kind of a touchy subject with my wife, so I rarely bring it up. I'm hope you understand . . .

Re: Re: Re: JimmyA
It is the timing that is important. Children are not ready for potty training physiologically, and thus emotionally, until almost three....a little earlier for girls, a little later for boys. But, on the other hand, they are actually ready for reading and math and computers from 6 months on, depending on what kind of assistance they receive from parents and the attitude of those around them.

Re: Re: JimmyA
Really? The math and computer skills are more important than potty training? Hmmm . . .

Beep....Totally wrong on this one. Come back after you have had six kids and raised them.

Aah, don't worry about it. Adapt as best you can. And I would think the order of his focus should be potty training first, then math and computer skills . . .

I am not a fan of Bing and hate the way it creeps back into my computer. If you saw my key board you would giggle but I like this computer at last and after three or more years of getting to like it, I am not giving it up....and the keyboard and I know each other.
i wish you weren't quite so tired though.

Ah, Taps. These little ones are doing things at three they used to
expect of us in First Grade when we were six. It's okay - I think their little minds are sharpest at 4 and it is wise to make hay while the sun shines. But to see them dealing with the technology so easily makes me feel like a relic. Stick with Blogit, Taps, you're in good company here. :)

Both you and Ryan are way ahead of me! I "LIKE" nothing and "FOLLOW" nothing, and I have no idea what a Bing reward is, nor do I care or want any – I don’t “like” Bing; and my “trending” is off-the-chart slow! But I’m very glad you’re renewing your Blogit membership...
