This is a repost, but there is a giveaway this time!
Ever notice how kids frequently end up in the same (or close to) professions as their parents? Lawyers kids end up as lawyers, doctors have doctors, business persons have kids that end up in business. I’m not sure why this happens, but it probably has something to do with kids seeing their parents success (or the parents encouraging their kids to take the same route that they did). Either way, I’m sure you can all agree that this happens frequently.
I work in finance (my dad was a business man). I always loved math while in school, whether it was simple addition or stats classes, I always enjoyed math and did well at it, so really it’s not surprising that I ended up in finance rather than an English teacher.
LeapFrog: Math Adventure to the Moon, which was out on DVD February 23rd, is helping young mathematicians get a jump start on their math skills.
Here is a synopsis of the educational movie:
Join Tad and Lily as they blast off on an exciting educational adventure! Tad and Lily need the perfect collection of things to take to school for their math assignment. When they finally decide on moon rocks, there’s just one problem—how will they get them? With some magical help from their firefly friend Edison, they board a rocket ship to start their quest. Soon the twins learn that math is everywhere, even in outer space! Watch as they use their skills in counting, sorting, skip counting and recognizing patterns to overcome obstacles, find new friends and make the trip back to Earth!
LeapFrog is one of the best selling and most recommended educational brands by Moms (and us Moms know what we are talking about – right? ) My daughter will be watching LeapFrog: Math Adventure to the Moon regularly to give her a jump start in math. My husband wasn’t as strong in math as I was, so it will be interesting to see who’s genes she received. Whether she ends up in computers, business, or as an English teacher, it doesn’t really matter as long as she is happy. I may as well get her started early with Math, and Thanks so LeapFrog: Math Adventures to the Moon, we can learn together.

there are also 4 other movies. I didn’t go into anything close to what my parents did
My granddaughter would like LEAPFROG: LET’S GO TO SCHOOL .
CLIFFORD: PLAYTIME WITH CLIFFORD. No I did not. Thank You
They have other cute DVDs for children. I like the one titled “Let’s Go To School”.

I saw they have a ton of different learning dvds. I did not end up
anywhere near my parents jobs.
I learned that there is a digital download option as well as the DVD! My mom, grandfather and I are all writers, but none of us do it as a full-time profession. My grandad owned a nursery, my mother was a lawyer and before I stayed home with my children, I was a waitress. Not much in common there!

I saw that there are 4 new songs on the DVD. My jobs have been similar to what my parents did.
I love that LF has a Letter Factory DVD. My Dad was a boiler operator, and my Mom
a volunteer fire fighter and homemaker. I became a nurse and am now a homemaker.
So, yah, I guess it’s similar. Thanks for the chance.

I found a dvd I didn’t know about–Let’s go to school. As far as parents–not really. My mother didn’t work until my father dumped her. Then she worked as a restaurant hostess. My father was in sales and I ended up as a techie in the IT world.
I learned there is a more basic Letter Factory that I would like to purchase for my twins. I guess you could say my profession is the same as my mother because she was a SAHM too.

The Talking Words Factory is a great idea for phonics.
I wanted to be a cop like my dad, but then he reminded
me that crook use real bullets! I worked at a utility
company instead.
I like the one about school and getting ready to go to school. I am a stay at home mom like my mom was.
on LeapFrog’s site, i read that Let’s Go To School dvd is coming out soon.
No, I did not go into the same field as my parents… but one thing similar is that we each worked for major corporations and had a long-term career with them… i worked for state government, while not a corporation it was still a large employer, and worked there for almost 18 years before deciding to stay home with my children.

I don’t think that sounded right.
My mom was a housewife, and my dad an electrical engineer.
I became a nurse.
