Started my son of on this numberland on netflix a few months back. Hes 6 months. When he heres that numberland theme song come on he'll stop what hes doing n turn to the tv like :gladbron: :gladbron: so he can here them get their count on friends. Make sure nothing he watches is mindless.

We smile at him alot. Hes a very happy baby. Always smiling at people.

We take him around people in public a lot. Get him social and familiar with humanity so hes not all shy and shook when he starts moving around

No yelling in front of the baby.

An hour and a half before bedtime (10pm) for us, we put him in his jumparoo or find ways to make him move around a lot so hes nice and tired by 10.

No napping past 8pm. That means hes up later wanting to play when he should be, wanting to sleep

Bought a breast pump for my wife. We've had him on breast milk for a solid 6 months. Not a drop of formula but as hes getting older and wanting to drink more, we add the baby food fruit to the milk so we can stretch it out a little more.

Family asking if they can keep him overnight - No :ufdup:

Put everything that a baby can choke on, away and out of reach for good, before they start crawling so you dont have a scare the day they decide to start crawling out the blue to put something harmful in their mouth.

No sleeping with baby on bed once they are able to roll around. They will try to roll off the bed.

Any plan, that bases funding or education based on standardized test, ruins education. Teachers will end up teaching the test verses what should be learned. State to state needs vary. Public schools in certain parts of a city vary, so how could one plan work for the entire country? I think they need to go back to the drawing board.

So nay lol

Our lunch money is getting taken because they have better education programs period. A better foundations period.

I hate to say it but I found private school is more student cerntered. For any oarent wether private school or public you have to be involved and let the teacher know you care and are paying attention. That way your child has the least chance of falling through the cracks.

My son is in private, but I would do a charter school too because this tuition is getting real. But his dad and I did not do our part to research and get him on a list in time. Plus we were trying not to move him around because he is comfortable where he is.

Next year he might be switching schools though.
