Can you believe that the child can get out of the water, and die from drowning hours later?! Yet, this is entirely possible. 4000 people die from dry drowning each year, 1400 whom are kids. What IS dry drowning?

Dry drowning is basically drowning without water. With dry drowning, you are not drowning from an immediate immersion in water; it is more of a delayed effect of a small amount of water in the lungs. This can cause result in laryngospasms, which minimize the amount of water aspirated into the lungs. Respiratory arrest may follow, leading to an inadequate supply of oxygen in the blood, cardiac arrest, and eventually brain death.

What is intelligence? According to Glenn Doman intelligence is “a product of three things: the ability to read; the ability to do math; the amount of encyclopedic knowledge one has.” (How to Give Your Baby Encyclopedic Knowledge, Glenn Doman, 2001, p. xi. From now on GD) Well, we’ve all heard that child’s brain is getting formed by 5 and in the first 3-5 years the child learns faster and easier then ever before. Glenn Doman goes further: “It is easier to teach a one-year-old, then to teach a six-year-old” (GD, p. xi). Glenn Doman is the only one I know who provides some suggestions on teaching kids encyclopedic knowledge, but if you know anybody else, please comment below!

Imagine: knowing what your baby wanted before he or she were able to talk! Reducing frustration, encouraging thought, increasing language development… Now you can! Sign Language Works!

Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I’m new to this site. I would like to share some scientific findings and shed some light onto the “phonics versus whole word” debate. Hopefully this will help parents in making an informed decision about how they want to approach reading instruction with their child. If whole word reading is going to damage their brain, then certainly we should run away from it as fast as possible.

Good eating habits has never come easily in my family.  Our only meal together as a family is breakfast.  After breastfeeding for as long as we could one of our struggles was to get veggies into our son’s growing little body.   Here are a few tricks that worked for our very finicky eater.

After he turned two we started giving him a little bit of Breyer’s vanilla ice cream.  And here’s the secret;  I mixed about half of it with Sweet Potato baby food.  He loved it - - - until he tasted regular vanilla ice cream.

Here’s how I added the audio to my PPT flashcards.

First:
You need a microphone for the computer - obviously. I got mine free after a $2 instant rebate from OfficeMax or Office Depot a few years ago. Sometimes they have awesome rebate deals.

Second:
Familiarize yourself with the “Sound Recorder” program that comes with most Microsoft software. When the program is opened, it basically looks like a small grey box with “stop” “play” “pause” “record” buttons on it and a small screen showing the wave frequencies in green. Pretty cool!
