2d	revised	Should we put our a child in a preschool with a primary language we do not speak? edited title. Suggested edit encouraged a list, but I agree with genericising it
2d	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on How to teach a toddler a second (foreign) language?
2d	comment	Pros and cons of putting an infant in a Daycare @AnishaKaul It's entirely dependent on the daycare, the area, and even varies from staff-member to staff member. In the UK, they enforce policies on nurseries, and TV for infants is a red mark, but you do have to assess by going how much interaction and care there is. If you're in an area with lots of kids and low funding, more TV. We ended up going with a "child-minder" (basically looking after 5-6 kids of ages 7-8 months and up), and she had time to engage with them all. Really worth the money... but a significant amount of money.

May 20	comment	Is it allowed to play with unfamiliar child? @Anonymous Yes, all of those affect the answer. I mean, you could start a fairly successful forum purely devoted to stories and debates about when it is and is not acceptable to play with a child and to leave a child to play by themselves. Give us an example so we know roughly your situation. If someone then has a similar question but with different bounds, that can be linked to this one.
May 20	comment	Is it allowed to play with unfamiliar child? Alternatively, it's so nice to live in the UK where people ask before abducting your children to fill them full of sugar. It allows you to tell the difference between waitress and kidnapper.
May 19	comment	Is learning mathematics good to build personal character? I suspect you meant this by whatever, but just to be clear still others would say none of the above for character: youtube.com/watch?v=H_BtmV4JRSc
May 19	comment	Is it allowed to play with unfamiliar child? We need more context for this. I mean, the situation is entirely dependent upon what you mean by unfamiliar and game. Playing tag where you sweep 3-year kids up into your arms with random kids you met in the park, probably not okay. Playing Cluedo with a bunch of teenagers at someone's housewarming, probably okay.

May 17	revised	How to motivate yourself to read stories to a kid whom you know cannot understand and respond accordingly? Answers move around. Converting reference to link. Feel slightly guilty about doing it for my answer, but I can live with it.
May 16	comment	How to motivate yourself to read stories to a kid whom you know cannot understand and respond accordingly? +1 Like the alternate options. Yes, poems are really good and powerful, especially for newborns. The only issue is possibly the limitations of poetry for independent reading and conversing (as Beofett's already pointed out), but that's a long way down the line. Most baby books are more poem than prose anyway.
May 16	comment	How to motivate yourself to read stories to a kid whom you know cannot understand and respond accordingly? @Beofett Broken link. But yes to Winnie the Pooh. One of the best books I have ever read, and I only read it because it was a gift at the birth.
