Partial (Language) Immersion Kindergarten

My daughter has the opportunity to attend a partial immersion kindergarten class for Mandarin (Chinese) through our school district. Can any of you with experience in language immersion for young children give me some pointers as to the pros and cons of this? I have been told the school may or may not having a parents' night meeting to address such questions. As a former high school English teacher who also took 14 hours of Spanish in college, I see the advantages of learning a foreign language even if you will never use it. I know it...

Autism and the Army

I was wondering if any mothers out there who are military mommies can tell me anything about having a child with autism while being in the military. My DH is joining the army and I just want to have some things cleared up that I've been wondering about this past week. Okay so the recruiter told us that our son would receive a "check" or "payment" monthly because of his autism. Is this true?? And if so how much will this payment be? If this is not true...then can someone tell me if you know about being able to keep receiving an ssi...

How Many Toys Should a 3Yr Old Have?

Now that Christmas is over I'm wondering if my daughter has too many toys? Her dad seems to think she has too much. Overall I completely restocked her toys. I got rid of (almost) all of her old toys and got her new things better suited to her age and development. She had "baby" toys before. Now she has toddler toys that can grow with her. I have already cleaned out and donated her older toys that she's gotten too old for, to make room for her new ones. I don't but her anything else during the remainder of the year so Christmas is the one...

Why Is There Such a Push for Early Reading?

This is a piggy back on my last question. When I am hearing from so many, even teachers, that early reading is not all its cracked up to be, why is there so much pressure on parents to teach early reading? And where is it coming from? To clarify, I'm talking about teaching your child to read early, not reading to your child.

Son Cannot Write Name in Preschool

Hi Moms, My son is finishing up preschool and will be starting kindergarten in the fall. One of the things that he has not quite yet mastered is printing his name properly. By properly, I mean all the letters are legible and the same size. At home, he cannot even hold his pencil the right way to print. I try teaching him and he loses interest or gets frustrated and starts acting silly, so I figured maybe it's one of those things that he'd learn at school because of the other kids printing their names and his teacher showing him how. ...
