g8grl commented on Jun 22 11 at 1:15 pmagreed, hate the slideshow. Bring back the ability to go from one post to the next without exiting out to the strollerderby homepage.
DutchM commented on Jun 22 11 at 3:02 pmlike +1. The slides are awful, make you rescroll over the page with every click. Extremely annoying, I tend to ignore the info/post as soon as I see the slideshows. :-(
Sherrill Cannon commented on Jun 22 11 at 6:34 pmAs a former teacher and grandmother of nine I thought perhaps you might also appreciate the following suggestion: Frequently it helps for children to be read fun-stories that illustrate the unpleasantness of bad behavior and ways to correct it. For instance, sometimes children don’t understand how annoying the sound of whining can be. “Peter and the Whimper-Whineys” by Sherrill S. Cannon is a story of a little rabbit who does nothing but whine. This rhyming book should be read with alternating normal voice and whining voice, according to the character speaking. Children learn that Whimper-Whineyland is not a fun place to be, not just for all the whining and crying that goes on but for all the other bad behavior and unpleasant character traits exemplified!!! My just-turned-three year old grandson loves the book, and repeats “no more whining, no more crying!” I hope that this book might help your child as well as it has helped my children and grandchildren
Manjari commented on Jun 22 11 at 6:37 pmI agree about the slideshows. They’re annoying.
Maggie commented on Jun 23 11 at 10:29 amNine ways to get me to stop reading Stroller Derby:
#1 Slide shows that load slowly and require re-scrolling. Other sites do this much better, but really: what’s the advantage of slide shows over one article, one page, one series of consecutive pix?
#2 Final questions that ask me to make a judgment about someone else’s behavior. This article gets it right: Asking me ‘have you ever done __?’ or ‘what tips have you used to ___?’ strikes the right note. But, as some other articles have done, asking me ‘do you think Hapless Subject should have done Stupid Thing?’ is just teaching your readership to judge and police each other’s behavior.
