    Homework for elementary age kids over Christmas break

    Exactly....dictation and teaching the kid to type ASAP helps a great deal with the writing block. The other thing that has helped the most is find a tutor to help organize and reinforce the things learned in school. It takes some of the load off you. I am very bad about placing my relationship...

    Homework for elementary age kids over Christmas break

    In this type of situation, let the child dictate the paper to you and you type it in word for word. Then the child could make any corrections. Made life a lot easier for both my ADHD boys.

    Crystal Palace dairy allergy

    Disney is the best place we have ever been for ds food allergies. Before you give up on cp I would suggest calling tel:(407)939-3463 (disney dining). I would be Leary about any Buffett with a kid with anaphylaxis. At least with table service, the child's food comes the same way as everybody...

    New Kiosk @ DAK For Food Allergy Info

    And a great deal of the information that is posted online is out of date. And talking to people on the phone a month or two ahead is not going to handle ingredient changes that happened in the meantime.

    Is this a new thing? And WHY?

    I work in a library. We allow cellphone use in the building AND quiet two way conversations. There is no reason to scream into a cellphone.
