Help Planning Daily Lessons/activties for 2 Yr. Old This Summer

I will be home with my daughter this summer - she is currently in day care part-time, but my job ends in June. I feel like I should have daily things planned for her to do - similar to what she does at day care. Music, lessons, art, etc. Any other SAHM have some sort of schedule they follow or recommendations? She is two. I'm going to put her in swim class at the Y and try to find something else for us to get involved in. My husband is adamant that I should be working with her all summer - flashcards, etc. Thanks for your help.

Seeking Suggestions for Activities Suitable and Fun for 14 Month Old

Hello, I am having a hard time keeping my 14 month old occupied throughout the day. She has a decent amount of toys, lots of books, use of most of my pots & pans, and a few baby einstein videos. She started to walk about 3 weeks ago. The toys, etc that she does have and her joy in being able to walk around the house, keep her occupied on and off throughout the day; however, it seems to me that whenever we are in the house for several hours at a time, she gets bored. I do make a concerted effort to get out, visit friends, take her to...

Single Dad Needing Help with Abc's and Numbers.

So im on mamapedia, and i'm a dad. I really need help from some of yall. I just got custody of my 4 and a half year old daughter who had been secluded by her grandparents in Montana. She has had no interaction with an adult that is willing to teach her until now. I have tried A, B, C, and D for about 10 days now and she can only tell me what A, and C are. Is this normal? I have her grab any letter she wants and then try and tell me what that letter is, and she just cries. She can be in the happiest mood before until i try and teach her what...

My Daughter Is 2 and Still Not Talking...

My daughter is 2 yrs and 2 months old and not talking. In Nov. of '09 she had tubes put in her ears for hearing and has been working with ECI for 7 months and after we had her tubes put in she started saying a few words. She got up to saying 6-7 words and even a 2-word sentence. Well about 3 months ago she stopped talking all together and hasn't said any words since then. I took her to a neurolgist and he said that there is a delay and maybe even mild autism. She has an MRI scheduled, but does anyone have any ideas that can maybe help her,...

Traveling Light, What Toys to Bring for a 2 Year Old

I'm looking for suggestions on toys to bring for my 2yr old to play with while we are on vacation. We are flying and trying to keep things light. During the day I expect that we will be out and about, but when we are NOT, we will be in the 1 bedroom apt of my husband's nephew apt. I am a bit concerned that he's going to be completely bored and getting into everything he shouldn't ... just b/c he is bored. - Thankfully I believe the apt does not have a lot of breakables in it as the nephew is early 20's and a student. Is there...

I received several Baby Einstein DVD's as shower gifts. A friend recently told me that she read an article that Baby Einstein DVD's are not recommended. She couldn't remember why. Do you have any experience with the DVD's? Thanks!

Baby Who Watches Cartoons

I was wondering if their were any other mothers whose baby (under a year old) really liked to watch cartoons. I thought that it was ok for him to watch cartoons with his 2 year old sister but our doctor told us we needed to put him in another room or face him the other way if he is in his exercauser. They dont watch too many cartoons, something like 2 or 3 half hour cartoons a day so I dont really think it is a problem but maybe you guys have some info as to why it is so bad for a baby to watch tv. By the way, he isnt watching baby einstein...
