| walkers, is it really helpful in the growth and development of a child? | | I have read different articles that a walker does not help a child at all in learning how to walk. and it is dangerous because of the premature mobility it provides a child. Do you agree with this? My son used a walker when he was five months old and yet, he was only able to walk on his own when he reached eleven months. | |

| | Baby walkers illegal in Canada! | | I wanted to buy my 11 month old daughter a walker because she's not very mobile yet and it really frustrates her. My mom told me about something that I had when I was a baby called a walker. I went out to look for one and I found out that they're now illegal in Canada because alot of parents were leaving their children unattended in them and they were falling down the stairs.I don't think it's fair that just because a few parents couldn't watch their kids that I can't own one of these. By the same logic everything is dangerous, jolly jumpers, exersaucers, alot of toys, even crawling around. Are they going to make all of these things illegal too? Ha.Other parents, and parents that have owned one of these, what are your thoughts on this? | |

| Would you let your K-3rd grade child walk to school alone? | | For me NO WAY. I drive my kids to school every day and I pick them up. My best friend is a bus driver and my kids would be on her bus if they took the bus but I dont like a few of the KIDS on her bus they are major bullies and the mother does nothing to stop them.
Every day I see little kids walking to school that look like they are in Kindergarten and it really bothers me.
What are your views on this? | |

| designing a bag of crisps for a company got a certificate for it. walkers. | | Hi All when i was young about 12-13 years old i got into a stage where i liked to design what a new bag of crisps should look like i only used colour shiny paper and made it into the exact same shape of a bag of crisps didnt leave any detail out i was young even copied all the writing on the back of crisp bags well a walkers bag, i designed it in full detail coloured every part in and designed my own pictures on it i sent it off to a walkers crisps address and not long after i recieved a certificate in the post for my acchievment as they were quite good designs for my age when i look back to them they also sent a letter saying thankyou for designing these crisp bag designs they are great quality for my age but they have there own machines to create new designs but at least i got some certificates from them, maybe your children could do this in there spare time and get a certifcate from crisp bag company's, do you think this is a good idea? | |
| | Crisps how did they first start I wonder .. | | George Crum .. a Native American Indian chief (and chef) who was employed at the Moon Lake Lodge restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York made them for a 'difficult' customer sometime during 1853 Apparently the difficult customer wanted some fries ... but returned his plate to the kitchens three times as the potatoes were cut too thick ... Crum decided to 'get even' and sliced the fries wafer thin .. and so the 'crisp' was born. The first crisps manufactured in the UK were from a company called Carters in 1913 .. and in 1920 Frank Smith and his wife formed the Smith's Potato Crisps Company Ltd .. she peeled and sliced .. he packaged the crisps into greasproof bags and sold them off a hand cart in London. Then in 1948 just after WW2 but with meat still being rationed ... a pork butcher named Mr Henry Walker decided to branch out and find a product that would make full use of his premises and staff ... to comply with the health and safety rules of the time his first choice of making ice cream products was ruled out ... crisps were becoming very popular and so they started making crisps! Nowadays you can buy just about any flavour of crisps you care to think about... | |
