My son is now in first grade. In Kindergarten, he was always in trouble for talking. Today, I received a phone call from his first grade teacher - he's gone from being in trouble for talking to kids to talking to himself and kids. He's a very good boy and the only problem he has in school is talking. I've tried reward charts, talking to him, etc. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,

I'm just starting to study Language Acquisition, and I would be interested to hear your anecdotes and memories about your children learning to talk.

What were your children's first words? How old were they?
Before your child could speak properly, did they have their own words for objects such as blankets or dummies or concepts such as food?
Do you think your child's language acquisition was affected by anything around them? For example, the baby who referred to milk and food as "Ning", mimicking the noise of the microwave.
Did your child have a lot of face to face interaction or were they left alone for periods, especially in front of the TV?
At what age did your child begin to form sentences?

Any other anecdotes would also be appreciated, however irrelevant you might think them.

Also, what should an average child be able to say at eighteen months? I have been assured by my parents that I was forming quite complex sentences. Is this normal?

In my second month I developed a Sub-Chorionic bleed. And now my midwife is saying it looks as though I have the very early signs of developing Gestational Diabeties. Is this some kind of weird karmic way of telling me I shouldn't be having this baby?? I love it so much, if anything serious happened to it, I don't know how I would go on. Has anyone else had rough pregnancys, and perfectly healthy little babies...??PLEASE reassure me..

What would a Non-custodial parent gain by releasing parental rights of a child that parent currently pays to support?

I ask because someone I know is doing this, but I dont understand why. Does it stop the support?

The had an article in twins magazine about this. I never realized before I became the mother of twins how much these questions could get on ppls nerves. lol My top one is ...Are they twins? Let me explain my girls are fraternal but look exactly alike, they are almost 3 mths old both are 22 inches long, and only have a 3 oz weight difference. I actually flipped a bit and turned to a man and said," No I just had them really close together." lol I admit that wasnt nice. Also I have found that ppl will touch newborn twins alot more than they would a singleton. Like they think hey she has two if one gets sick she has the spare. One stranger actually kissed Jaden on the mouth when she was 2 mths. I always keep a 2 foot spread between me and any newborns. This is just common courtesy. Maybe those of you without multiples will think this is a rude question....4 mths ago I would have agreed. Not anymore lol

If you are a mother/father of twins, do twins run in your family. I've read that they usually skip a generation, but is that a myth, and is it just a gamble. Thanks.

if sometimes i say i love a person and the other person sometimes say they love me, what does this mean? We are both females and not lesbians or nothing, but what does this mean if we both say we love eachother a lot, like at the end of phone calls and just in general.

My daughter is 7 weeks old and I am a stay at home mom. When my husband comes home from work he has a whole agenda that doesnt involve helping me or spendng time with the baby. Asking him to do anything is like pulling teeth. He is in bed by 8:00 and I am up ALL night with the baby. If I need a midnight break and ask him to take her for a few minutes he gets angry and starts telling the baby to shut up and stuff. He also likes to tell me how this is my job(the baby) and his job is harder thanh mine. How do I get through to him? Keep in mind that he has a serious anger problem and confronting him about anything turns into a fight. Please help!

I saw the teenagers over there up to no good. At first, I thought that they were just playing around with the dog, then I heard the dog yelping ... I got out my binoculars and saw that they were shoveling spoonfuls of horseradish into the dog's mouth.

I'm not sure if I should say something to my neighbors or not. We are decent friends, good neighbors to each other.

IS THIS COMMON BEHAVIOR AMONG TEENAGERS THESE DAYS?

2007-01-31 08:53:25 · 55 answers · asked by Reserved 6 in Adolescent

Without any real life experience to speak of, can teens be responsible parents?

Clearly, there just too many kids having unprotected sex, getting pregnant and for whatever the reason, deciding to keep the baby.

Most of these new parents will remain unmarried and without proper education (let alone that they will have little or no income due to lack of work experience), they will live lower-income level lives.
Is this a proper role model for their babies (the future of our country)?

And then there are too many teen parents like this little drugged-out charmer, from Oklahoma:
"An 18-year-old woman who was arrested after police found what they said appears to be beer in her baby's bottle has been charged with child endangerment."

Its ridiculous, I need yahoo answers anonymous. I justify it telling myself I am learning a lot about my pregnancy and pregnancy in general... but its getting bad! Everytime I tell myself to log off and do some housework I see another question that I have to answer...

What other preggie ladies out there going through this? Does it help you with your pregnancy too?
