Do you sing to your child? Are pets important for your childs emotional stability? Does your child Mimick you?

I used to drive my son to nursery school, then to preschool. It was a 7-minute ride, maximum. My car had a 6-CD changer.

One was "ts of 1985" I'd have him singing with me--I was a top 40 DJ from 1990 to 1993. The child would bust out with an air guitar: "Nah-nah-naah-nah, Nah-nah-naah-nah. " It is very, very funny to see a kid in a onesie singing Springsteen's Glory Days.

I mean, at Little Gym, he'd hop up on the bench. He did it for a busload of high shool girls in a mall's food court once. Volleyball and basketball teams.

The coaches whipped out their phones and I heard one say "Oh my gosh, he's only three years old? My husband is going to crack up when he sees this " OK, so there was another song on the CD which I used to play on the air: We live in the Midwest. I was in NJ visiting family and I got a call from my (ex)wife."He wants to hear rock and roll.

" "So," I said," put on the Boss. " "No," she said," he said that's not it and he keeps screaming he wants to hear rock and roll." I went for the last resort: "Play every song in the car.

I've never changed the CDs. " (I'd only had the car a few months). The song my son wanted to hear was Starship's "We Built This City (On Rock and Roll)!

" Now, he and I used to do a duet of Sinatra's "You Make Me Feel So Young" in which he would pretend he was pulling flowers out of the ground for "Pickin' up all those Forget-Me-Nots. " About 6 months after my wife and I split up, he was 4, he asked me, "Dad, can you sing that string song?" Sure.

"I've Got the World on a String" was a song he loved. He could pick out Sinatra if he came on in a restaurant. He used to be able to identify all most of the voices in the original "We Are The World.

" when he heard them in other songs. Still to this day, I find myself saying things like " Kiddo, that's Billy Joel." He's almost 6 now.

There's a fine line between mimic and mock at his age. But in 2006, I did have an injury that left me unable to walk for a while--and then I needed a cane for a while, and he'd frequently complain he couldn't do things (like clean up his room) because his leg hurt. The cane was taller than him but he'd attempt to use it.

As for pets, he wants a fish. I've already been recruited to take care of it while they're out of town for an extended period of time. A couple of years ago, we decided that for the larger things, we're dog people as opposed to cat or bird people.

She and I had a dog ten years ago, so we thought it might be good for him.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
