ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 28 Jan 07

I loved to sing to my children. One of my favorite songs that I sang to them often was "You are my Sunshine". Singing or humming to a baby or child has a soothing effect on them. I would sing or hum to them while rocking them...

The Art Of Language - How Far It's Fallen

misskatonic @misskatonic (3723) • United States 27 Jan 07

simplechic I think that you should be proud of the fact that you have the talent to speak/write eloquently. It's like you said. Words can be connected to form beautiful paragraphs. It is an amazing form of art. People that try to make it look snobbish are shamefully...

simplechic Talk to the principle one more time. Tell her that you would like a meeting with her and the 2 girls' parents. If that doesn't work, go to the Superintendant. You're not fighting her battle. You're protecting her. 2 against 1 is never fair. Here's a little...

prettypinkbug @prettypinkbug (437) • United States 27 Jan 07

simplechic I think he should have it tatooed on his forhead like they did to a man that raped and killed a child not too long ago. Then I'd throw him in jail for LIFE!!! I know of many prisoners who don't take kindly to these type of vermin. He should suffer for his...

simplechic Raj119 is right, marjonelle. The BEST choice is to take your child to a speech therapist. This way you get a professional diagnostic AND help if needed. A friend of my sister in law took her son and we've all seen the improvement. Pretty fast might I add. Take...
