Tips for Keeping Kids Unplugged in an Electronics Age

Even in a world where "the latest thing" is ever-changing, what is not ever-changing are the parts of childhood that help children develop the skills they need to be well balanced adults. To choose an old fashioned approach to make a point, if Nature wanted kids to be "wired" they would be born wearing an over-the-ear, Blue Tooth, headset (a bad example, perhaps, since Blue Tooth requires no wires). Technology or no technology, children need a certain amount of time to interact with family and friends in more conventional ways. They also need some time to engage in interests that are not

If only I could turn back time
Hazel, as you must know, there are so many people who have some version of a similar story, when it comes to their time in school. One of the big objections many people (in the US) have with special needs classes is that, even though they come up with some IEP (individualized education plan); for the most part, the real needs and talents of many students in special ed classes are overlooked. If high school was only four or so years ago, you're still far younger than you realize. Learn what you can about any condition you have, and then start now to make plans for any additional education options/work. Best of wishes.
Yahoo Answers
The old, "Am I pregnant?" question keeps cropping up, doesn't it? Another kind of question that really doesn't belong on Yahoo Answers, "What's this rash on my arm?" :)
On Having An Artificial (Fake) Christmas Tree - Just Thoughts (and Lots of Them)
frogdropping, I think they do look great. I just bought my (real) wreath the other day - and oh, brother. The needles from that were enough to make me glad the tree is fake.

My sentiments exactly.
That 50th Birthday - A View From The Other Side Of It
cashmere, thanks for coming by. It's not for me to "correct" what you say here; but I have to say, "you ain't see nothin' yet" when it comes to some birthday angst. LOL My theory is that it gets worse with each decade until 60 is the next one coming, at which time (it appears to me) you have to start working blocking the next one out completely right after you turn 50. (I'll see if my theory turns out to be right when I get closer to that next decade. LOL )
