My3 1/2 Yr Old Niece Looked at 2 Young Girls and Said Your Ugly Get Away From Me?

She learned that from T.V. or from overhearing someone that she looks up to (mother, father, babysitter, role model). She thinks that's acceptable behavior and needs to be shown that appearance doesn't matter. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Otherwise she will grow up thinking looks are everything and she will get suicidally depressed when her looks fail.

Will an agent let me do this?

the author usually dosent have a say in who the actors will be. they usually dont have much say at all. and actually i cant see this being made into a movie. the story sounds nice, dont get me wrong, but i don't think it will appeal enough to audiances to be made into a film. and i dont think as an author you should be thinking about it being a film before you are even published. good luck

Has anyone used the Dining Plan at Disney World and is it worth it? Anyone ever go to All Star Movie Resorts?

The meal plan is definately the way to go with small kids.

My family has never done it personally, but really good friends have, and they swear by it.

Epcot is a lot of walking, not sure if the small kids will like it. Living Seas has a Finding Nemo thing that they will like, but other than that, not sure what they would like (my sister and I are 21/22)

You'll have a good time!!

Where can I find an elementary science curriculum placement test? How can I pace my 6 year old?

Since he is moving so quickly I would go with www.k12.com

With their independent homeschool curriculum you pay by the month ($29 per subject per month or if you sign a 1 year contract it's $22 or bigger discounts for multiple subjects or 2 year contracts) and when you need to move up you do. Their texts are online (you can print them if you wish) and their experiments are great. Take a look.

My dogs are developing a bad habit?

If you yell at a dog when it is barking, it thinks that you are joining it. You are perpetuating this habit.

You say that if you put you dogs out for their last pees, you don't know if they have performed. You should TAKE them into the garden and wait until they perform, if you then take them into the house with you they won't bark at the door.

my son is 2 and my youngest it 8 mos?

Well he's obviously jealous of the attnetion that your younger child is getting, its only natural. My auntie had this and introduced the naughty step, whenever they are naughty sit them on a step for 2 his age minutes. if he gets back up , put him back on silently until he gets the message. Afterwards, get him to apologise and reconise what he has done wrong. Hope i helped!

Where is the best place around Bay area to go for a family with little kids?

Go to Marine world in Vallejo. I love that place, use to go there all the time, Or the Zoo in S.F. or Oakland. The exploritorium in SF. Golden gate park and the aquarium. I think that the observatories in Oakland. Do you like to fish, try some of the local fishing haunts like lake Chabot.

Or give them a lesson in life and go watch the knuckle heads down town on Market.

i think my dog honestly understands me....?

You're pretty lucky :) I had a deaf dog that would mysteriously "hear" me when I was upset and would run up to me and sit on my lap. He would also know when feeding time was, even if he was in another room fast asleep. I guess just be happy that he can do all of those things and don't look too much into it!

4 of my 5 neighbors are driving me insane?

1. Report the drug dealers anonymously.

2. Talk to the parents of the girl who rings the bell. She may be disturbed.

3. Tell the Indian family that you will send them a bill for the vegetables they steal. Also tell them that you know how to have them deported. That will get their attention.

4. Put up a high fence and get a guard dog.

is $500 too much to spend on a 2 year old for

Yes. Honestly , I would have done the same on my first child (and probably did), but they don't remember! It takes SO long to get the packaging off these days that by the time you do they will be on to then next toy. Believe me, Save the money for when they are teenagers! LOL! Ppl say this and you laugh, but it is true!

What can i do to stop my dog...?

Hitting a dog and/or 'telling him off' are counterproductive.

Teach your dog a sit-stay and a down-stay and work with him until he's reliable on both commands. He also needs to learn that he never walks ahead of you unless you've given him permission to do so. If you can't manage this on your own, take some obedience classes (do that anyway, if you haven't already) or seek help from a trainer.

Do cats change their personality when they get older?

generally behavior changes are associated with hormones, so "getting older" might result in personality changes for a prepubescent cat.

However, an older cat rarely does. Personality changes at this stage would be a huge red flag that something medical is going on. You should get your kitty to a vet for a check up and make sure everything is in good working order

Please I need some information on Quaker parrot?

Sounds like your doing a good jon. Pellets should be added to the mixture. In his cage you can mix then in with the seed mixture. I also give my CAG nut mixture without salt. Polly should be able to step up and come out of the cage by now if you have been working with her everyday. Sounds like Polly will be a good companion for many years to come

How do i get my dog to stop chewing up everything?

Little mischievous puppy how cute!! Oh Kay I had a similar problem and German shepherds are easily trained and are smart dogs. I suggest you send him to a nice and gentle puppy train school to get him potty trained and matured. And your puppy is 2 years old! Most dogs at 4 years and below are mischievous and naughty but they are adorable!! Hope this Helps and good luck:).

My one year old fell?

she sounds fine, things to look out for would be vomiting, being unusually sleepy, extra irritability, clear fluid leaking from nose or ears, any change in behavior, i know this because i called the NHS helpline the other day when my 14 month old son fell in the garden and banged his head and this is what he told me to look out for

Have I got a good living situation for a dog and if so what breed of dog should I get?

That sounds like a great home for a dog! I just wish you had said if you have an apartment or a house and a yard. If you have a decent sized house and yard, a golden retriever would be fantastic with the kids. All dogs shed except those that have to be clipped periodically: poodles, maltese, bichons, yorkies. Tiny dogs are usually not that good with kids. A standard poodle would be the calmest

Getting ready for a baby. Clothes and equipment. Please give suggestions. BQ x?

You definitely need a swing! My daughter lived in hers until she was able to climb in and out on her own. She was a litttle extreme about it, but I would definitely recommend the swing. I had the Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing. If you can tell your child does like the swing make a trip to Sams or some other wholesale place and stock up on batteries. Hope this helps

Does Anyone Here Own A Large Parrot?

Have you owned a bird before? I have a small parrot, hes more then enough for me. Large parrots are not for the first time bird owners.I also hope you know about the expenses. A larger bird means a larger amount of money ALL around...toys, bills, cages etc

i love how i get a thumbs down for my answer when its true...idiots

how can i get my 5 year old to eat?

We had to do this with my nephew. We put very little of whatever we were feeding, so say 1 1/2 spoonfuls of macaroni or spagetti with 1 small piece of brocolli or 1/2 of a chicken leg meat with a spoonful of corn. Set an alarm clock (there are ones on your microwaves most of the time) for about 30 minutes and if she is not done eating that she will go straight to bed. It works on my nephew. If she wants more, give her more

------

My 3 year old German Shepherd keeps me up at nights!!?

Like the previous answer, the only thing that comes to mind is the crate. Of course, you run the risk of her barking at 2 am to go out and play. Have you tried giving her a kong in the middle of the night, in another room, so she has some entertainment and leaves you alone? Maybe a kong in the crate. She goes in, has some fun, then takes another nap?

Good luck

How to keep dogs from tearing garbage bags.?

1. Put your bin bags in bins.

2. They must be bored, get them some toys for the Garden, balls, tug roaps, squeeky toys, bones, those toys that you put treats In and they have to turn and get the treats out.

Usually dogs will do things like ripping up flower beds and bins because they have nothing better to do and its something to keep them amused, you need to give them other more stimulating things to do.
