Thanks to everyone for all the helpful advice. I just wish that when I was a young child my parents thought to try to teach me a second language. I have traveled and even in the USA, many languages are spoken. Being able to communicate in more than one language has so many benefits, I just...

I couldn't agree more! So are you familiar with Professor Toto? It doesn't use translation, but the immersion technique with animated DVDs and CDs and it is specifically for toddlers and young cildren. If not Professor Toto than maybe another product that is similar. Basicly I am looking for...

<r><QUOTE author="KDmom*3;121791"><s> </e></QUOTE> <br/> <FONT font="Century Gothic"><s></s>So, I’m going to enroll my son David into the Spanish classes at the Language Workshop for the Fall. I asked them if there was anything I could do...

Wow, my head is spinning, but I really do appreciate all the good advice!!! One thing that is for sure: some form of immerssion is the best way for a young child to learn new languages. I wish I was in a position where I could have a nanny 24/7 speaking to my son in Spanish. I'm sure that...

When I think of a bday party for kids that age, I am annoying because I ask when to drop the kids off and when to pick them up, what food is being served, what activities or entertainment... And of course I have to be familiar with the parents that are in charge. I ask all the questions, even...

That's a really good point. Just having a house full of kids could potentailly be a leagal risk, yet as parents we take responsibility for our child's friends when they come over. So is it the added risk? Is it possible that these people have another hidden reason and that your son's health is...

My mother is a school psychologist and she tests children all day and then avocates to get them the resources they need. If you can find someone in the public school system that knows their job and cares, you may be able to first find out where your child is at, not just academically, but...
