[ - ] nest, ps166 and ps11 are the main ones we have heard about. I believe there is something to that. believe what you want. Makes me think the 99s who are still waiting got anderson or other G&Ts not yet mentioned that is my personal theory 16 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

If you mean 166 not 116, I have an easy answer. It is D3s third choice behind Anderson and PS9. Since 9 only has one class a lot of 99s are defaulting to their third choice--thus 9. And D3 has one of the largest numbers of kids over 97. I don't know enough about 11 to know why it is showing up so high. [ Reply | More

I think that it's normal for boys and girls who are 4, 5, and 6 years old to be very interested in their bodies, particularly their private parts. They are aware of the differences between boys and girls and men and women, and are very involved in figuring out their own sexual identities. Some amount of exploration with other children of either sex (often called "playing doctor") is really expected and normal. It's also reasonable for parents to put limits on this behavior. They can explain to their young children that certain parts of the body are private, and that means you don't show them to other people except under certain circumstances (e.g., in the doctor's office). They don't have to explain why, just mention it matter-of-factly as one of those rules that exists for polite, proper behavior. From the standpoint of your own son, I think you are handling the situation well. You've set a reasonable limit for his behavior, and you are enforcing it. The more matter-of-fact you can be, the more comfortable your son will feel that he has not done anything wrong. Children do best when they can understand the rules about privacy without feeling that their bodies are something to be ashamed of. Your son's friend has been told that his behavior is inappropriate, and yet he persists in his exploring game. When he's confronted, he feels bad and promises to stop. But the next time the opportunity to satisfy his sexual curiosity arises, the temptation is too great. This persistent interest may be completely normal, or it might reflect an uncomfortable preoccupation with sex. Young children who have been exposed to sexual material of an adult nature sometimes have a lot of anxious feelings about sex. They may focus on genital exploration to the exclusion of other activities, or feel compelled to compare their own genitals to other children's to make sure they're okay. Of course, I don't know if any of these factors apply to your son's friend, but if his parents are concerned, they should seek consultation with a physician or a psychologist. Timely intervention by a trained therapist can be very helpful for children who have a great deal of anxious feelings about their sexuality. Finally, a word about sexual abuse. Nothing in your case really suggests this, but it's something that parents often worry about. Children who have been sexually abused sometimes feel compelled to re-enact adult sexual acts. Usually this is not just a matter of playing doctor. by Robert Needlman, M.D., F.A.A.P. [ Reply | More

nest, ps166 and ps11 are the main ones we have heard about. I believe there is something to that. believe what you want. Makes me think the 99s who are still waiting got anderson or other G&Ts not yet mentioned that is my personal theory. [ Reply | More

How can you explain that I am a 98 with a high ranking for 166 with a 97 reporting that she go into it? Are you telling me that I didn't get in there if I didn't hear today? [ Reply | More

Also Notice they it looks like they only did a few areas of the city. People didn't hear about 116, 110 etc and honestly look at the master VERY few nest people. [ Reply | More

[ - ] my sweet little 4 year old is going through big changes. she has a little brother who is now just over two and suddenly it seems difficult for them to get on. They seems to fight a lot. She is very nurturing -but he is not really the type to want to be nurtured more action man -running around like crazy wanting what she has and trying to grab it etc. He is fun and mischief. She is fun in a different way and likes to play detailed complicated games with her dolls. the other day she was playing by herself and he came up I don't know exactly what happened but next minute he was crying and had two scratches (drawing blood) on his arm. I was so, so shocked. She insisted that she didn't do it and that he had done it to himself. She has never lied to me before -and even after giving her the truth talk and then even the following morning she denied doing it... I don't even know what to do. Anyone been through this - how do you encourage peaceful play etc... Is it just a matter of getting through it. Maybe she is worried about starting big school but doesn't know how to express it.... ahh! so many things it could be, so many ways to dicipline -how do we ever get it right?? 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

sure, but not that kind of lie. If he scratched himself on a toy, he's unlikely to make up that his sister did it, unless he heard OP say so first. [ Reply | More

[ - ] About the G+T letter delivery: Was it someone from the DOE? Or just a regular messenger service? Do you think they might deliver tomorrow? Will they leave the letter if no one is home? 3 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I posted earlier...we live in a non doorman bldg (just 6 units). Ours was on the floor just inside the front door so they either slid it under the front door or put it through the mail slot that is in the door..it was mixed in with the newspapers because that is where the guy shoves the papers through.
