Questions & Answers
Question : Science Electronic Toy?
My 8th grade teacher wants us to make a toy.It has to be battery powered and can not be plugged in.We have to use the things we learned in the class and stuff.I cant think of anything to make.Do you know anything? or any site i can use with directions?My teacher is going to interview us about our toy and how it works, so i need like instructions and stuff.Thank you for your help! <3
Answer:
You can look for kits at an electronic store, I've seen them before. If you can't find a kit then you should at least be able to find parts of one, like little motors, lights, wires to complete at circuit. Try Radio Shack, Circuit City, and places like that. Here's directions to build your own car: http://www.ehow.com/how_6468015_build-toy-battery-powered-car.html

Question : Gift Ideas for 1 year old boy.?
Yes, I know it's the day before christmas eve. I've already bought my son a bunch of gifts, but his 1st birthday is a few days after Christmas so I want to get him something he'll love. He'll probably be more amused by the wrapping paper and the boxes, but what can I get him that he's guaranteed to love and is not too expensive? He loves anything that involves music. He has lots of stuffed animals, baby can read DVD's, electronic learning toys, blocks, a little scooter for him to ride on, lots of clothes, etc. Maybe one of you even has an idea for something I could make him. Please help. Thanks.
Answer:
I know parents like to put a lot of work into presents for their young children and even animals, but to be honest? They don't care. They don't understand at this stage that this day is any different than anything else. The shiny bow and paper will be more fun to them than anything else. That or the bubble wrap. Babies love bubble wrap. Stuffed animals that talk are always winners too. Things that move on their own. (stuffed animals with little motors in them making them move and make noise, etc.) Stuff that plays music with little lights. Remember, their attention span is really small, so it has to be something that makes noise, moves, or has blinking lights!

Also looking for a really good learning toy or electronic. Any and all suggestions are welcome, and very much appreciated.... suggestions? :0)

Question : What can i get to help me to read?
hi what can i get to help me read i'm 23years old and a few years ago i had an reading test and it came out at 8-9 up to 12. what can i do? how about Electronic learning toys?i find spelling and grammer and all to do with reading write and spelling hard.
Answer:
Go onto the Amazon website (or see if you local library will lend you one) & order a book called 'Toe by toe'. it's a book that helps dyslexic people learn to read & spell.It is quite basic (obviously) and teaches you reading & writing in very small stages, smaller than step by step, hence the title, 'Toe by toe'. ;-)

Question : Is my toddler austic? PLEASE help if you can...?
My 17month old son....I took him yesterday to the pediatrician and she thinks EVERYTHING is probably normal except for the total lack of talking. She listened to my description of what he is doing and says that he IS moving forward and is probably just a slow developer... However, she has referred me to an autism screening because of lack of language but that won't be for a month.He babbles once in a while. What sounds like sentences but with gibberish...just a few times a day.He laughs and plays peek a boo. I look around the corner of a wall and say peek a boo and he laughs and leans forward and tries to see me and then will come crawling around the corner to find me.He crawls up in my lap and reaches for his books, goes through them until he finds one he wants and then he will sit in my lap and turn the pages on his own or will hand it to me and I will hold it and read while he turns the pages, looks at them and turns his head to watch me read.He will open and shut the kitchen cabinet for five or ten minutes and then reach in and pick out a snack he wants and bring it to me to open for him. Several times a day.He has a few buttons on a toy that he has had since he was an infant that he loves to push and hear the word and music, but will only do it for ten minutes or so and then move onto something else. But does it many times a day. If I repeat what the buttons "say" he laughs and thinks it is funny. He will establish eye contact, but if I try to force it he ducks his head, turns it away, will even tip it back and gets annoyed.He is not walking on his own, but has recently started walking between my wife and myself and is improving. He laughs and enjoys it the walking... he doesn't walk on his toes.He is learning to understand a few words in just the last couple of weeks. Will go and get his "ball" and toss it back and forth with me. And know knows "book".When we go outside, he likes to look around at everything. He enjoys being outside and does a lot of smiling. If I take him to a plant or tree he enjoys gently feeling the leaves.If he has food and I lean over, he will offer me a piece and even put it in my mouth.If I try to get him to say, "milk" or "bottle" before giving it to him he yells, "eeeeeeeeeeee" until he gets it then starts drinking.With most of his electronic toys, he plays with most of the options and does not just focus on one button, etc. He thinks it is hilarious when I play "creep mouse" with him... as I slowly "crawl" my hand toward him for a tickle. He will hold his breath excitedly as he anticipates the next bout of creeping and tickling, and will laugh and laugh when it occurs.If our dog is near, he thinks that is GREAT and will laugh and crawl up to the dog and reach out to touch him and then laughingly pull away as the dog reaches forward to lick him... he gets really happy and excited.He has some blocks that he will bring to me to put together for him so he can take them apart (he can't put them together yet) and then he will give them back to me to do again over and over for about five minutes.He doesn't point or wave or communicate verbally in any way.He doesn't imitate when a face is made to him.When we go somewhere new, he initially cuddles in close to me, arms around my neck head tucked in, but then quickly loses fear and starts looking around and wanting to participate by getting on the floor or grabbing something off of a store shelf, etc.I put him down on the lawn and he will crawl around. If he finds a leaf, he will crawl over to me to give it to me. And then look around some more to bring to me.He doesn't seem to respond to his name AT ALL, but if he is doing something and I say something that interests him, he will turn and engage. For example, if he is playing with something, and I say his name he doesn't turn, but if I say "peek a boo" he will turn and look for a second, or if I start to read one of his favorite books he will turn and look and sometimes come over.One last thing that maybe I should mention... My wife takes him to and picks him up from day care and because of his lack of development I just recently started to look into things and found out in the last week that the day care he has been in for almost his entire life is completely NON stimulatory. The two or three kids, all the same age, are put in a playroom with a TV and toys and pretty much left there all day except for feeding and changing.... We do spend our evenings and weekends working with him, but could this be the cause of his delay? He gets no talking there, no reading, no singing, no walking, no conversation, etc. His development there has been entirely on his own... I don't have any idea if this could be an excuse for what is going on and if I can play catch up now o
Answer:
No.I suspect he has hearing impairment though.Get his hearing checked.If he is unable to speak at all,he needs to learn sign language.

Question : Good learning toy for 1st grader?
I want to get some kind of learning game for my sister. She's seven and reads on a third or fourth grade level but struggles a little with math and occassionally comprehension. I need something electronic, as she tends to get bored with things that don't interact with her. I'd prefer something that doesn't involve the Internet but comes with activities that will last more than a week, preferably something that will work for a few years and come with a variety of games/activities. Any ideas?What about a Leapfrog? I haven't looked into that at all yet, but is that for younger children?
Answer:
Leapfrog is very good check it out---http://leapfrogleapster2learninggamesystem-green.com

Question : What kind of things do you actually NEED?
I've just started working on my registry, and WOW! I never knew there was so many different types of baby things! I'm beginning to wonder what kind of stuff is actually necessary and what is just nice to have around.I know the basics [crib, car seat, stroller, etc.] but all these little extras really have me confused. What are some things you can't live without? Anything you thought you wouldn't need but now use all the time? Also, as far as toys, I've registered for some rattles, teethers, stuffed animals, and a play mat. Should I add some other types of toys? How much can newborns play? Do they really need bath toys? Learning DVD's? Electronic toys? etc etc. There's just so much different stuff, I'm becoming a little overwhelmed!Thanks for any advice! :)
Answer:
Actually, I have found that some "needed" basics aren't really. Like strollers. It was nice when baby was little to just transfer the car seat, but soon after I found that a wrap worked much better and the stroller became a glorified shopping cart. Everything else, toys and such is just frosting. Your baby will be entertained by whatever they have around them. I am not saying not to get them, my son loves his Rainforest collection. Just not to stress about it. And the learning DVDs, are a fraud! TV just isn't a good idea for babies (France has even made it illegal to market videos for under the age of 3.) so we keep it to Disney (sometimes to much now that I am pregnant with #2) and don't waste the money for movies we can't enjoy as a family.

Question : What should I be working on with my 15 month olds right now?
During floor playtime, what should we be focusing on for learning?We read books, stack cups and blocks, open and close doors, fill and empty containers, press buttons, open and close plastic eggs, make cars move, make plastic animals make noises and move around, push trains around (sometimes on tracks, but they try to destroy them mostly), color with chalk outside, go to the pool, have various splashing "water fun" times, dance to music, play with various learning electronic toys, do simple puzzles (they just remove pieces, I replace them), stack rings, play with little people (put animals in and out of doors etc. mostly), teach sign, teach words, go to Petsmart to look at animals, go to zoo, do drumming, play a plastic recorder, use maracas and various rattles, take outtings to the playground almost daily.... what else should I be doing right now to advance their education? They can walk, sign about 10 words and say about 6 other words. They can stack 6 blocks and 3 cups. What should I be working on that I am missing?I am thinking of getting the "your baby can read" program? too soon?
Answer:
Don't spend money on those programs - just read, read, read to them!Most of us know we should do this but most of us don't know that it's almost magical in its effects on a baby's development. You need to do it every day, often and in the right way. BTW, babies cannot learn how to read. They can learn to mimic what you say and to memorise the way a word looks on a card but they don't have the ability to connect the word with the thing it represents -http://www.best-books-for-kids.com/teach-your-baby-to-read.htmlSorry for all the links but there's some really good info here - http://www.best-books-for-kids.com/reading-to-children.htmlhttp://www.best-books-for-kids.com/readin g-magic.htmlI would strongly recommend you buy a book called 'Reading Magic' by Mem Fox and, if you're really keen, 'The Read Aloud Hand-book' by Jim Trelease. Both explain how you can literally boost your baby's brain power by reading to him.Did you know, for example, that if you read to your child often, have fun with it and start when they're really young, your child will learn to read easily and naturally, without any real formal teaching? Sounds amazing, I know, but I've seen it happen quite a few times with my own kids and with others over the years. It usually happens around 4 with girls and around 5 with boys.Read, read, read - I can't say it often enough! All books are good but rhyming books (like the Dr Seuss books) and nursery rhymes are especially important -http://www.best-books-for-kids.com/nursery-songs.htmlI'm sure you read to your boys but, if you need ideas for books to read, try these as a starting point -http://www.best-books-for-kids.com/books-for-toddlers.htmlSounds like you're a great mum and I know how challenging twin boys can be!Feliss(mum to fraternal twin boys aged 16 and their sister, aged 12)

Answer:
The first thing you should do is put your son in a better daycare! Yeah, you spend time working with your son but all the hours he spends at daycare have been wasted. Make sure you interview better this time and make a couple of surprise visits during the day to check on how things are going. It is VERY important to stay involved with your child's daycare, even when you feel it is a good program.Your little boy sounds like a typical child who is a little slow in his development. The lack of speech is most likely caused by the bad daycare environment with little stimulation. Keep working with your son, talk and read to him as much as possible. Turn off the TV! I think he will catch up. I don't think he has ASD.
