| RE: Buy Cheap Pumpkins After Halloween |
|
The only problem with the Halloween pumpkins is they are bred to be huge not flavorful. You may find them watery and not very tasty. I would recommend the smaller PIE pumpkins for cooking. I buy the huge ones for the deer on my farm. I put them out and deer eat them. ... View related article. |

| RE: Natural Treatments for Hyperactivity in Children |
First I am interested in why you don't want to use medication. I would research throughly so you have the facts. There are many medications so if one is not working then there are alternatives. There is research that shows kids who use medications have a lower incidence of drug abuse. My son is 21 and has been taking Vyvanse and finds it works well. As a younger child he used concerta and ritalin and one other (cant think of the name) and he had side effects.
Okay, so you should also along with diet etc. make sure you have a structured day for him. ADD kids have a hard time with transitions so make sure he knows in advance what to expect next. He should be encouraged as soon as he can to set up his own schedule, have a low distraction area for his homework. (many sounds that we are able to ignore are very distracting for ADD kids), Get to know his teachers to be sure he is up front near the teacher so she can cue him to be back on task. Use a timer for 15 minute study sessions so he does not get overwhelmed and refocuses.
Best of luck to you. ADD kids are great and have many gifts. ... View related article. |

Get some live Bobcats and have them eat chicken on the float. Label the chicken as Eagles. Or maybe some folks have stuffed animal bobcats you could use. Have them jumping on stuffed toy eagles. Can you have your mascot on the float? ... View related article. |

If you can't put them in a fire you can run them through a self cleaning oven cycle. Then season them by rubbing them with lard and baking them at a low temp for about 3 hours. ... View related article. |

| RE: Training a Dog to Not Poop Inside |
You may have to attach her to her leash and to you so you can catch her before she poops. Has she ever pooped on a leash? My hound dog had the same issue. He will not poop on a leash or if I am near. (He was a rescue so I suspect he was punished when he pooped in the house so associates pooping near people with punishment) I had to (and still do) put him on a line outside in the morning and watch from inside. As soon as he starts pooping I go out and say "good boy, go poop" so he associated go poop with pooping and sees it as a good thing. He is not completely cured BUT much better than he was.
Monitoring when you feed your dog would help as well. Dogs poop a few minutes after eating usually. Good Luck. I love my hound so much and have dealt with in home pooping for years. ... View related article. |

| RE: Shoe Shopping Strategy - Trace Your Child's Feet |
|
I would not recommend this as there is much more to shoe sizing than length. You also have to check the arch support, the height of the back of the shoe so it does not hit the bone on the ankle. Take the child to the shoe store to try on. Feet are delicate and important. ... View related article. |

Try teaching her to bark on command. Then have her bark then reward her for stopping. Example: Speak (Woof) reward, then when she barks say "Quiet" then reward her for stopping. It will take time but it will work. ... View related article. |

Take him to a doctor. If there is a reason for not crawling that needs therapy the sooner you get it started the better. Trust your gut with your baby. ... View related article. |
