I’d love to hear about how to foster a love of writing in your children…specifically aimed at homeschooling.
From Dana Adams in valley springs, california.
Sorry didn’t leave my info. Name is Stacey Bic. , and I live in St.Cloud,FL
A question I’d find interest in is how to make our children more interested in reading.
Is there anything in the area like a Children’s Clothing Swap? I have so many clothes that my boys have outgrown. I would love to find a place that I can bring these clothes and come home with some “new” clothes in larger sizes- with the out of pocket expense. My Moms Group does this once a year, but it would be great to find something more regular.
What are some good activities in the area for grandparents to do with their grandkids or are there any local grandparents groups? I watch my daughters son a couple times a week and want to get out with him more!

We are looking for a children’s chorus for our 8 year old any suggestions?

Training wheels or balance bike?

Once the colder weather sets in, where are the best places to visit and socialize for parents and children with special needs? Are there any specialized activities? (specifically north county)
North Adams, MA
I heard there used to be someone in the hilltown area who would teach you what was eidible on your own property (outside of your garden)! Wondering if anyone knows the person who does this? Or what are some great recipes using local goods from the area?

I’d like to know of good resources for second-language learning (Spanish, Chinese, etc.) for kids: school-based programs, afterschool and summer programs, baby/toddler programs, family programs, etc.

We’re wondering where we might pick organic apples locally. Where’s your favorite organic pick-your-own orchard?
Pilar Goldstein-Dea
Easthampton, MA
My question: How do you bring (fun!) math into your household and engage your kids in real math problems? For example, we play a type of math word game at the dinner table. Would love other suggestions!
Deborah

What do you pack for your kid’s lunch?

Some questions I’d like answered: great places to sled for both younger and older kids, and where to find a good selection of children’s shoes at reasonable prices (the one thing we can’t buy on line!)
