CTTS -- 10 YO by
Catherine Moore
I have been meaning to post this for a few weeks. Better late than never.
We had two separate conversations with E 10YO on the same weekend.
The first had to do with the age-old question. If a tree falls in a forest
and no one is there to hear the sound, does it make a noise? Which led to
the...

CTTS 14 years old by
Dawn
Cute, yes -- but we're working on piracy issues ;-)
Henry: "I wouldn't say my Titanic project was copied from Ashton.
It's more 'loosely based' on her project."

Trying hard not to crack up while I explain the importance of doing
one's own work...

CTTS: 11 yo tattoo advice by
Iowacookiemom
Unsolicited, as-far-as-I-can-tell unprovoked advice from my 11 year old,
offered from the back seat recently, totally out of the blue:
"If you're going to get a tattoo, you should go to someone who knows what
they're doing, not someone who needs money and knows how to draw."
I still have no idea...

CTTS: 11.5 yo by
Iowacookiemom
I have no idea if this was an original joke or something he heard somewhere,
but Henry cracked me up this morning when he was watching news coverage on CNN
and asked me how Howard Dean's campaign is doing ever since the "I have a
scream" speech...

CTTS: Guess what I'm thinking of? by
Ann Porter
Little boy was playing a guessing game with me the other day: Guess what
I'm thinking of?
"It's bright, and yellow, and in the sky in the daytime, and makes you
sneeze."
It's the sun. I just thought it was cute that he added "and makes you
sneeze." Little boy is a sun-sneezer. That's not a...

CTTS: 5yo and snow by
Penny Gaines
Dh asked the 5yo if she wanted a "white Christmas with snow everywhere".
She considered for a moment and said "no, not everywhere. Just snow
outside."

CTTS: Board games, age 10 by
[email protected]
My 10yo got a chuckle out of parents and grandparents as he and his
brother opened Chanukah gifts last night.
On getting a glimpse of the board game under the wrapping paper: "Hey, now
I've got a Life!" Looking over at his brother: "And Roger's got a Clue!"
I'd like to say this was totally...

CTTS: Books v TV, and the Doctor by
Penny Gaines
The 8yo has worked out that lots of films that Mummy watches with them
were originally books - eg Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc.
Currently the new "Doctor Who" has started showing. We were watching
it together, and the Doctor was being deliberately obtruse about his
home planet.
The 8yo...

CTTS: Spelling practice by
Iowacookiemom
Background: Henry was previously a notoriously bad speller. A typical weekly
score would be single digits out of 20 words. This year, he's done a complete
180 and spells quite well. I'm still kind of stunned by the turnaround.
So tonight, as he and his dad were studying, I found myself hanging...

CTTS: toddler pronoun use and counting by

Subject: CTTS: Toddler pronoun use and counting
Like many toddlers, my 2.5yo has some confusion over the use of
pronouns. He started out referring to himself exclusively as
"you", but he now uses a combination of "I", "you" and "we"
(perhaps he thinks he's royalty) in...

cup training a one-year-old by
Karen G
For various reasons, we did not push cup training prior to 11 months
with our 4th baby. (With my other children we got them using the cup at
about 8 or 9 months and finished using bottles at 12 months.) She is
really resistant to using the cup. Any suggestions, things to try?

Daddy's Boy by
Sid
My 19 month old just loves his daddy. This is wonderful. I love him
immensely. It is however difficult for my wife, a devoted mother, who
adores her little boy as well. She feels rejected by him and it is
beginning to take its toll. I have tried to find some information on this
in books but...

Darned Standardized Tests by
Iowacookiemom
We moved to Texas last summer, where the "No Child Left Behind as long as he
passes tests" approach was born and has taken firm root. I thought Iowa was
fanatical about its preparation of kids for standardized tests, but what I'm
seeing here is lightyears beyond anything I have ever seen...

Daughter has no "reciprocity" from friends by
[email protected]
I am writing in hopes that I can get some advice. My DD is ten and is
sociable and likes having her friends around. She has a few friends,
not a lot, but this does not seem to bother her. I always encourage her
to invite her friends over, which she does. The thing is that they do
not invite her...

Decisions on strings class by
Robin
My 4th grader just came home with the information sheet on strings
class. We need to decide whether to sign him up, and if so, for what
instrument.
Our school district has a strong music program, and all the 3rd
graders get Suzuki training in violin, so he's had that. He didn't
seem terribly...
