I think I'm a rare breed. I cannot have my cake and ice cream on the same plate. If it's already served that way at a party, I wont have any. Everyone knows I don't like this and I can usually get a seperate plate for each. I...

nlschr0 They should not go together. They are best separate! But I feel that way about most foods - I hate when all of the foods on my plate run together. I always have to make neat little piles of everything. They are separate experiences!

Ok, everyone loves ice creme, or at least most people do. I know it is one of my many weaknesses. But what is the weirdest flavor you have ever heard of, and what is the most disgusting flavor as well. I know an ice creme shop...

nlschr0 The strangest ice cream flavor I've ever tasted was Wasabi from Cold Stone Creamery. It tasted like...wasabi frozen. It was one of their special flavors for a limited time.

nlschr0 Actually, I think that original idea did contain a punishment aspect - the removal of the flower was a negative consequence for an inappropriate behavior. As a teacher myself, I know that the ideal ratio of positive to negative is at least 5:1, sometimes even...

nlschr0 Since you have two young children, I would make the schedule as general as possible. For example: breakfast, getting dressed/groomed, free play, snack, arts and crafts, lunch, storytime, nap...or whatever works. A great thing to add would be a visual guide for...

nlschr0 Yes - it is true for any show or program. Dora's official target audience is preschool, which is a time when a child's neurological development is more advanced and more able to process the information correctly.

nlschr0 Very true - currently the American Academy of Pediatrics says "no screens (tv or computer/video games) before age 2". They have been linked to changes in neurological development in children, and are suspected for triggering add/adhd later in life, as well as...
