I was wondering if kids say pretty much the same things when they first learn to talk. I saw absolutely no pattern with my girls: tickle, key and book were their first words. I think tickle was weird because of the two syllables,...

tutor1235 Growling?? I've never heard of that either! Too funny! I wonder if she is a little afraid of the other people? I guess I used to say "BOO" at strangers, trying to scare them away. And I think they're all pretty unique-one of mine told people she wanted to...

tutor1235 I think my girls had 'mom' WAY down on their lists of words-like months into the process. 'Dad' was pretty quick, but mom -eh, just not that important, I guess!

Someone in our area set a puppy on fire. I was absolutely shocked out of my wits when I opened this morning's paper and read that some majorly disturbed person had burned a pup like that. The pup had to be euthanized, and...

And are we as a society spending too much media time on such things? I sometimes wonder what else is getting pushed OUT of the headlines when things like this come up.

tutor1235 I was amused to hear a segment on NPR a day or two ago titled "What you've missed in the news while we were busy with the OJ Simpson Case" or something very similar. At least someone's beginning to recognize the problem!

My girls are gifted, and I say yes. Look at the Bell curve of IQs and see how differently people think and learn when their IQs are on the low end. Put the gifted child's IQ on the same curve and they are just as far away from...

tutor1235 I think you're right on the money. This is how I've been handling mine, too-feeding them information when they seem interested and trying to stay out of the way.

What are your thoughts on this issue? Does prayer or mention of God have any place in US public schools? I'm not talking about out and out religious teaching, but rather the mention of God at ceremonies, the quick blessings that...

Some believe that the entity they call 'God' is the one and only deity. Others' belief systems allow room for the idea that God may have different names in different cultures, and that possibly the Christian God is the same as the...

What does your dog do that has a cute quotient? My daughter trained ours to "rub his muzzle" when he wants petted-you know, like washing his face. It's pretty darling and generally gets quite a laugh.

What happened to Ashley Abbot and why? Last I saw, she was guesting on B & B, but she seems to have disappeared from that show, too. Did the actress decide to quit?

tutor1235 Thanks for clearing that up! I'm pretty sad that she got canned from Y & R-I've always thought she was one of the better actresses on the show (and I've been watching most of the time since it first came on back in the 70's!).
