Q. I need ideas..my daughter's birthday is coming up and she really isn't interested in most toys now like dolls, kitchen stuff, things like that. The only thing I know of is video games and Webkins....but she has enough of those..she wants toys, but what can I get here that she will get alot of enjoyment from? If you have a 9 yr old girl....what does she like?
A. My 9 year old niece loves all of those plus baby dolls and all that Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Camp Rock stuff.
In terms of buying her toys it's getting to the point where it's getting hard to find stuff for her because she has reached that "tweenager" age so we rely heavily on what she tells us but we encourage her to think of stuff other than the usual Webkinz, DS/Wii game answers - we'll leave those gifts for friends and the rest of the family.
Her answers usually include stuffed animals, posters, CD/DVDs and new clothes. She also has no qualms with receiving Gift cards for her favourite stores since she loves to shop.
It's really a tough age to shop for because you are usually stuck grappling between "I don't know what to buy" vs. "Do I really want to buy her that toy she asked for thats for ages 5+" type deliema.
Ask her opinion, give her store flyers to look at or have her visit some of her favourite stores websites to see what she might be interested in.

What should I buy 5 yr old twins for their birthday?
Q. My daughter was invited to a birthday party in a couple of weeks. It is for twins; boy/girl. The girl I have a couple of ideas for, but I have no idea what to get the boy. I asked them at school and they both smiled and said they didn't know. I asked their mom and she said that she didn't know; they only cared about opening a present. I don't want to to over spend, but want to get decent presents. Any suggestions? DVD? Games? Toys? Thanks!
A. Was there any theme on the party invitation? If so, go off of that (i.e. Spiderman toys for the boy/Barbie for the girl if it was a Spidey or Barbie invite.)
Otherwise, craft sets are always good. They have this awesome sidewalk chalk out now that reacts to 3D glasses (included) that is really cool.
Consider getting them completely different things, too. I'm sure that they've had their share of "together" presents or neutral items because they're twins. Separate gifts help them form their own sense of identity and it's truly their "own" - not something they have to share.
As a mom of a 6 years old boy, I have to admit that I enjoy him receiving gifts that are a little more on the educational side - books are awesome, we LOVE doing puzzles together, and board games are great for family fun that we can all enjoy (and games like Sorry involve number recognition and counting - always a plus!)
Just about every store will print out gift receipts, so if you're concerned about the acceptance of the gift, include one in the card. It helps if the kiddos get duplicates and then they can have the joy of "shopping" for themselves!

How can I get my daughter to make friends?
Q. My daughter is 5 years old & was tested last month & she is on a third grade reading level, She is also doing addition & subtraction, & writing sentences.. this sounds wonderful right? Wrong.. my daughter cannot make friends, & she wants too so very bad, but when she goes to play with kids her age & they want to play with dolls & my daughter wants to tweak her myspace page..lol... she gets frustrated & bored but when she tries to play with older kids they wind up making her their personal slave because she is younger & pushover & she wants to fit in.. She is so depressed. She sits in her room all day alone, or surfs the web alone.. She cries to me that she wants a friend, but I don't know what to do.. any suggestions?
A. i am an educator and i can tell you from professional experience as well as being a parent of a gifted child, that this is completely normal!!!! my son and other kids who r extra bright do not fit in w/ the other bulbs in the pack! he prefers to play w/ older kids because he does not have patience w/ kids his own age. we have had many a conflict w/ friends during playdates. it will take her some time to find her comfort zone. girls are especially problematic because they tend to identify themselves through their friends. my son always wanted to have someone over to play only to end up in a fight and the guest going home. i hate to say this but, there is probably nothing u can do. she may have to find her own way through this one. that is hard for a mom who wants to protect their child, but it is true nonetheless. you can encourage her by having a few other girls her age over for activities like shopping, bowling, swimming, movies. these may not be ur daughter's fav activities but, u can explain to her that when u have guests that it is ur (her) job to entertain them. be careful about the # u have over at a time. always have an even # like 3 plus ur daughter, or one on one. the older she gets the better it will be. cause her peers will catch up w/ her socially. she is also only 5, so her idea of a friend is different from our idea. at this stage of development, she just does not want to be alone. most 5 yr olds play "together" by sharing the same room, not the same activity. so, keep the activities away from a playroom or living room for awhile. get her out w/someone doing something active. do activities where she and her friend can have fun but other people are around too. when she cries about not having a friend, ask her what EXACTLY does she mean by friend. it may be that she needs an extra-curricular activity because she is just bored. she needs something that doesn't require academics. try putting her on a softball or soccer team. check out a swim or track team. take her to the mall shopping, try anything to catch her interest. then, run w/it!
What are some great gift ideas for 6 year old girls?
Q. I would like it to be in the $20-$30 range please. She has PLENTY of dolls and doll accessories.
A. Password Journal. This is available at Wal-Mart, Meijer, Target, Toys-R-Us, etc. They usually range from $20-$24 plus tax. Works great if the little girl has brothers (or even sisters) who might tend to snoop into what she writes. It's my understanding that it is a voice command password, so it's in her own voice. Hopefully they wouldn't learn her password and/or be able to mimic her voice. I checked into it for a friend's 6-yr-old and the journals are rated anywhere from 4.5 to 5 stars out of 5 possible, so sounds like a sure thing.
2nd idea:
Crayola Glow Station or Glow Globe. Also available at the same type of stores. This would be great for girls who are creative types, and there are several kinds to choose from.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day,
BubB
