- I think that common sense is developed through experience and through paying attention to what happens to yourself and what happens to others. Like any other developed skill, some folks are better at it than others, and some *get it* at an earlier age, but yes, I think that it is learned - even by those who are predisposed to have lots of it - - nt - - - Rosemary in Colorado 8:24 Jul 29

- I agree about searcing for Monetessori ideas. I checked out a book of Montessori activities for preschoolers once. The one I really remember was teaching your child to pour from a pitcher. You start out using dried beans to help them learn how to pour from a pitcher into a cup. It was fun! nt - gandpsmommy 13:56 Jul 27

- In NC you have to register as a Republican or Democrat in order to vote in their primaries. So I register as affiliated with a certain party, but I could vote for a member of either or neither, depending on what I think the country (or state or county if it's local) need. nt - Dana in NC 10:48 Jul 27 (4)
