Luckily there are more healthy choices for snacks these days and more educational Apps for the kids as well! Our favorite Apps: Montessori Cross Words, Math Girl and Smarty Shortz Our favorite DVD for fall: Spookley the Square Pumpkin Our favorite healthy snack: those new Veggie Sticks and miniature Green Machine Juice (finally Costco carries both!) Ok I'll step off my soap box.......thx I try to be on the “healthy organized” side of things when it comes to my 3 and 8 year olds: packing the healthy snacks, no tv or gadgets in cars, only educational lessons/games on the iPhone etc…but it’s not always easy!

This comment is a few months after the fact - but better late than never! :) We've never been big fans of gadgets for our kids, but they can definitely be used as an educational tool with the right apps. Take a look at LunchboxReviews.Com if you're ever on the lookout for educational, age-appropriate apps for toddlers, preschool and early elementary kids.

As a mom of three, I have learned that it is my prerogative to make choices - and compromises. The face is, that kids are often stuck in a car, or a plane, or waiting for an older sibling's music lesson to finish. If you are totally organized, you'll have a carefully packed tote bag filled with healthy snacks and educational games and toys. But sometimes, the day may have gotten away from you and you don't have that bag at your fingertips. That's when you might turn to something like your iPhone, in which case it is helpful to have recommendations such as this one of Jennifer's to guide you towards the higher quality ones. So thank you, Jennifer! You know, you can please some of the people….and obviously not all people all the time.

This makes it so that I am in essence giving him nothing more harmful than an ipod. Which, depending on your viewpoint, could be good or bad :) Whenever I give my iphone to my son to play games, I put it in airplane mode, which turns off all the “communication” functionality of the phone.

I don't know anything about apraxia so this is not speaking to your situation, but it seems like more video crack to me.

I think the radiation is from using it at as phone transmitting and receiving calls, because you are holding it so close to your head. When children play games on an iphone, it is in their hands, and the phone is not transmitting other than searching for signals. You can also turn the wifi and cell phone part off (I know at least the wifi part can be). Corey, that’s a good point.

My son has been in ST since he was three, and we just got a DX after visiting the Camaratas in Nashville. You should look into them, as well as Kaufman. We may go see her this summer, and I want to get her program. I have tried using what I think it is (ie teaching approximations), and we've seen more progress ever since. Fish oils help too (nordic naturals). You can email me at jennifer at ecochildspay dot com. Wendy, i think you are lucky to have gotten your dx so early.
