Question 1

is having grandparents from asia taking care of the children ok if i am in school? will they learn like american kids?

Accepted Answer

No.: Having grandparents native to another culture / society / nation.  Your children are still living, relating to others, learning within the american society.  I'm  not sure of the extent of 'taking care of' in your situation.  If you mean that the majority of quality time is spent with  their grandparents, then they have more influence than the real parents on growth & development. They r your kids.

Question 2

on the ravlt learning test i scored way above average. but in the moca i scored below 26 (couldn't do serial 7's). what are your thought on this?

Accepted Answer

Delayed processing: classic alzheimers type dementia affects short term memory.  if you cannot do serial 7;s, this can mean many potential things.  may be due to focusing issue such as add or adhd.  if this is all you couldn't do, you may just be bad with math!

Question 3

what is the prevalence of learning disabilities in the u.s.a?

Accepted Answer

I don't know.: Official stats are usually artificial &often misleading. Stats depend on definitions &these criteria are changing all the time. Plus, "learning disability" is a relative term --so many types & levels of severity. My take: 1)a huge # of us struggles w/ learning; 2) schools are overwhelmed by the needs, & rarely meet the need; 3)more funding is only part of the answer; better ed approaches needed.

Question 4

how do i learn about tm?

Accepted Answer

TM?: If you mean transendental meditation, i found their website for you. Its: http://www.Tm.Org/.

Question 5

can people learn to trust?

Accepted Answer

Learn to trust: Yes. The best example of it occurs in children, who for example had an initial bad experience with a dog and end up afraid of all dogs. If the child can then have successful experience with a small, safe dog repeatedly he can learn to trust dogs again. Adults can do the same thing, although it's a little more complicated. Successful experiences in small ways is the key.

Question 6

i want to learn about death.

Accepted Answer

Inevitable, meaning?: Broad subject for 400chars! life ends in different ways & at different times. Many scientific, personal & spiritual questions. We don't know what comes next, but can choose what we want our life to mean while we're here. More specific question?

Question 7

how do i learn portion control?

Accepted Answer

Lifetime learning: Start with a tennis ball & a deck of cards on the dinner table. The tennis ball is your 1 cup serving of vegetables and the deck of cards is the grilled meat portion you have for your meal. Subscribe to a daily email service to have continued additions to your lifetime of learning and gradual adjustment of dietary changes and portion control you want to make. You can't do it all at once: go slow!

Question 8

how soon can children learn colors?

Accepted Answer

Around 2 years: Most children can begin to recognize and point out 1 or 2 colors by 2 years.  Some as early as 18 months.  Language development is happening at an astonishing speed during this time, so make sure you are naming everything and its color around you!  by 4 years a child typically will know about 4 colors.  The best way to help them learn is by example and showing them the world around them.

Question 9

what to do to learn to love my body?

Accepted Answer

Loving your body: First, focus on being healthy and what it brings you -- rather than focusing on external appearances or obtaining an ideal body.  Feed your body nourishing food and see how it makes you feel.  Speak to yourself as you would someone you love -- with the same compassion, patience, and care.  Your body hears what you say, and how you say it.  A psychologist can help you with personal work on this.

Question 10

how can i help my child learn to read?

Accepted Answer

Practice letters: And read lots of books together.  Let your child "read" the books as well.  Make reading books part of the bedtime routine.  Simple pattern recognition books with good illustrations often help kids learn to read because they can follow the pictures easily.
