Story from Ask Dr Sears Website sent by MrBaby's Mommy

Message from MrBaby's Mommy :
Even three years old can be too young to be left overnight....
I have said this before… but some grandparents are so clueless when it comes to raising babies! Of course, they love their grandchildren and probably mean well, but times have changed. Sure, leaving a three month-old was probably encouraged 30 years ago, but today, most child development specialists would say this is too young. Most children that are being “attachment parented” MIGHT be ready between 2-3 years old. My children were ready to stay at a friend’s house before they were ready to stay at the grandparents. Regarding the gift certificate expiring soon: if it was sold in California, Connecticut, or Washington then state law says that it can’t expire. Many other states are considering laws like this, so most likely you will be able to use this certificate in a few years. Sure, mom and dad could use some time alone, but with a three-month-old, were talking about dinner and a movie…

Our First Post
This blog will have instructions on lessons featured at our YouTube website, printouts you can use for your own homeschool (or enhancement of your child's traditional education), ideas you might find useful for your own lesson plans, news regarding homeschool families nationwide, and also our daily activities in our own homeschool. This last part will also serve as our attendance records, which is the only requirement Indiana has regarding homeschools.
Our homeschool focuses on hands-on learning. There is some paperwork done, of course, but it is in areas where that is part of the hands-on experience, such as some art projects, writing practice, writing stories, labelling parts of a project, and so forth. Pre-writing activities involve a lot of matching activities, and these activities will also involve paperwork.
