Madagascuar is good!!! I like this weird dancin' racoon thingy the best, my dad like it and my nan and 1 of my uncles loves it!!! But she wont remember going, wait till she is around six, or after going once she will expct to go every week! I don't know what country your in, but madagauscar came out here ages ago, you should buy the video from abroad like on ebay or do an entire web search, it will be cheaper and then you'll have it before everyone else!!!!!!!!

Depends on the kid. Not all kids will enjoy swimming, and if they don't they won't want to learn. You can't really force him/her to learn to swim. But if they are showing interest in swimming or playing in the water in general, you could start around age 5. Make sure they can walk well, have good hand-eye coordination and are able to communicate well enough with the instructor. You could always ask the kid if he/she wants to learn how to swim?

i think those ages are considered as the most busy to take care. becoz i really care for the children's safety and well being, therefore it will take me a lot of efforts in taking care of them. I will not let them go out of my sights. Make sure they're happy n so i wont be getting complaints frm the parents. I say i would charge for 3 kids for 6 hours at $ 600. Sounds expensive, hey i'm a responsible person. u gotta pay for my precious time too :)

not as many as you think in recent years the movie makers have taken an interest in the fact that their movies aren't generating as much income as previously thought due to over pricing of movies in theaters. when you factor in that on average in my area it costs 8 dollars for one adult ticket 5 dollars for a child ticket to the theater and 4 dollars for a medium soda, 350 for a medium popcorn and 2 dollars for a box of candy. your looking at over 40 dollars just for a family of 4 to go see a children's movie its bull when you can sit at home and see a movie in the comfort of your own home for 4 dollars and you don't have to worry about someone in from of the screen blocking your view.

I would suggest a Family gift basket centered on all of them as a group.  You didn't list the kids ages but movies are always a good idea.  Possibly fix a basket with a large bowl, several packs of microwave popcorn, a nationwide movie rental store gift certificate, etc. Use your imagination.  Something that includes a nice gift for all to enjoy as a family

Movies are always a good gift. For the 11 year old maybe Pirates of the Carribbean II. I think it comes out very soon. For the 7 yr. old, either Cheetah Girls 2 or High School Musical (both are from Disney channel) \nHigh School Musical has a new version out that includes the dance moves and some other bonus features she may like. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

yes,depends on the environment and how you treat the kid.\nThey will learn as they grow older. Be nice to them.

I'd say RV, I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's funny.  It's supposed to even be funny for teens, and your son would be nearing that age.  It's also supposed to be family friendly, I think it's only rated PG.

I am an early childhood student teacher (preschool-3rd grade). I have worked in preschools and I have to say that I think 4 years old is a great time to start children in preschool. It seems that parents want their children to start so early, at 1 1/2-2 years old so that their child has a jump start on learning. That is great, however, children are not developmentally ready then. By 4 years old, children are beginning to form their own identity and are ready to go to a school environment away from mom and dad. Even at 4-years, some children struggle but at that age, children are ready and eager to start preschool. Before the age of four, I think parents should enroll their children in play groups so they have the opportunity to interact with children.   I also suggest giving your child 2 years of preschool so that your child will be 6 or close to turning 6 years old.\n\nI am 22 years old and my parents waited till I was 4 to send me to preschool because I had a summer birthday. I think that was the wisest move they made. If I would have been sent to preschool at 3, I would have been one of the youngest in my class.

Kids heck I want to see it myself! My kids are adults now and I wish one was young enough because I will feel stupid going myself. I guess I will watch it on dvd.

Our pediatrician told me that she, personally, recommends that children start seeing a dentist at age two but most dentists like to get them started at one.  If you feel like your son needs to go for some other reason than a check-up and cleaning (which he shouldn't need at 8mos), take him.  If you just want to get him prepared to know what a dentist does, take him w/ you on your next appt!  Children don't have to see a dentist just because their teeth have come in.  The pediatrician checks the mouth during a routine check-up and will notify you if there's anything unusual in there!  We took my daughter at 26mos and took her brother (15 mos) too, since we were going anyway!  She did great and he screamed the whole time.  Kind of depends on the child too, ya know?

You HAVE to go see CARS.\n\nI brought my daughter (12) and her friends (11, & 7) to it and we ALL had a great time. \n\nSee it with your folks and with friends, it will not disappoint you.\n\nThey told me, "Over the Hedge" was pretty good, and "Garfield 2 - A tale of two kitties" was lame.

I think this a very good question.  I wondered about this myself. I think the answer would be different depending on the child.  My son was not ready until 8, he takes drum lessons.  My daughter started taking violin lessons at 6.  Her attention span was much better and she had a real interest and desire.  Usually, music teachers say that they like to start music training at around 7 or 8.  I would suggest that you let your child take one lesson and get the opinion of the teacher as to how they feel you child will do.  Most music stores let you rent an instrument for only 20 dollars for three months so that if your child changes their mind you have not invested a great deal of money.  I rented a violin and the teacher told me that within the first couple of lessons she would know if my daughter was ready and she was.  It is trial and error.  So go with your gut!
