how to control your child's tv time

jakie18 @jakie18 (233) • Philippines 1 Aug 12

I have a two-year old son who is growing so fast. Since he is the only kid in the house we always bought him toys and books for him to enjoy. We bought him a dvd player so he can watch his favorite cartoons on dvd. My problem...

prismrainbow Too much TV will hurt him more than you could hurt him by restricting his time. Their eyes and brain connections are still developing. Too much screen time can be overstimulating for some young children, leading to behavioral issues. Two-years old is such a...

prismrainbow I would say, don't get too confident that it couldn't happen to you. Also, lay an alternate plan BEFORE it happens so you are better equipped to slide into something else. I worked for a large computer manufacturing company in the late 70's, early 80's....

How do you choose a book to read? Do your friends recommend it, reading reviews or checking the book's cover?

choosing a book

9 responses

prismrainbow It's a combination for me. If friends happen to mention the great book they are reading, I find out more and if it sounds like something I would get into. Sometimes, it's specific author's work. If I'm looking at ebooks,I watch the recommendations that come up...

prismrainbow I know how you feel! We don't really have lizards where I am, but we have harmless, little spiders that find their way in our house sometimes. I have had them drop from the ceiling onto my head or neck before. I sort of freak out even though I know they are...

Life Lessons You've Learned.

GemmaR @GemmaR (8517) 31 May 12

During the course of our lives, the majority of us will learn things about ourselves that will help us to cope with the rest of our life. I thought that it might be good if we shared and discussed some of these things, and maybe...

prismrainbow Things are not always what they seem. Matter of fact, things are not what they seem most of the time. I think that applies to just about everything whether it's the person you think you know, a job or business opportunity, a book by its cover, the sales ad you...

What's the most annoying thing about people?

GemmaR @GemmaR (8517) 13 May 11

For me, the most annoying thing about people is when people post photographs of themselves on the internet, and then claim that they look "ugly" or "fat", just hoping that someone will comment that they're not. What about you?...

prismrainbow What I find most annoying is when people say they will do something and then don't, leading to being inconsiderate of me or others. Like when they say they will be at your house at a certain time and never show up or call. Or don't call to inform you of...

prismrainbow I have to admit... I enjoy getting extra sleep late but I am a night person and usually up late. So if I don't have to get up early for some reason and it's a holiday, I like to sleep late - not too late.

prismrainbow They would not want me since I am beyond child-bearing years, but I think being a one-way trip would be a deal-breaker for me. Not because of leaving everyone behind, but the idea of dying on Mars. I'm not sure how I feel about that. What will they do with the...

How do you feel about volunteers?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (161546) • United States 20 Jul 12

In this case, I do not mean people who do things to help others without asking to be paid, I mean plants or seedlings. A plant or seedling that grows where you have not planted it is called a volunteer. If you plant something one...

prismrainbow I LOVE volunteers unless they are the invasive type and crowd out something more useful to wildlife. Also, when invasives become problematic, weed management will want to come spray chemicals on your property. Many states have implemented laws that allow them...

Would you let your teenage children be on Mylot to make money?

doingit4fun @doingit4fun (917) • United States 11 Jan 07

Teenagers spend a lot of time on internet these days. Would you let your teenager be on mylot posting discussions and make money. Or you will suggest them to be on mylot rather then on myspace?

mylot

prismrainbow Mine's not a teen yet but I would let him be on myLot to make money with supervision. Kids need practice typing, organizing thoughts, writing properly, getting their point across in a nice manner. I also think a kid's opinion is important and myLot would be...

How old a child should be to be left alone at home?

doingit4fun @doingit4fun (917) • United States 12 Jan 07

I think 11 years old is mature enough to be left alone (12 years is legal in USA) without a baby sitter. A 13 year old can be left alone with younger sibling? What do you think.
