Welcome to another installment of Great V-pets! This segment will be promoting none other than the latest NA release, the Tamatown Tama-Go. Shall we begin?

The Tamatown Tama-Go is one of the most innovating Tamagotchis in North American History. What separates the Tama-Go from past Tamagotchis (including Japanese) is the fact it as attachable figures. These figures once slided on and added, provide access to new games, food, and sometimes even new items! Having a good portion of figures really helps the overall experience of the Tama-Go, and is seen as an absolute must for Tamagotchi Lovers. In the video, I use a Ringotchi figure (also I have the included backdrop as well) and play the one out of two exclusive games. Another thing is you get to choose between your own character, or Ringotchi! I choose Ringotchi.
Now on to the actual game play of the Tama-Go itself:

The Tama-Go is pretty much like any Tamagotchi. You feed it, you clean up after it, praise & discipline it, and play games to get money to buy stuff, and just take care of it in general. The biggest difference would probably be the new features of the Tama-Go.
These include the ever-so-wanted “potty training”, the new decor feature, and who can forget those adorable animations. Animations such as when you press GAME, and you see your Tamagotchi walk through town, to go to the Game Centre. (shown in video.) Another cool feature is the PARK option. When you select PARK, you get to see you Tamagotchi go to the park and meet up with a playmate, and have some good ol’ fun. (Shown in the video) However, 20% of the time, there might be nobody there.

The point of PARK feature is to increase your Tam’s friendship level. Now I am not 100% positive, but I think this helps contribute to your Tamagotchi’s growth, and final adult character *along with generic training*, but I could be wrong.
The other thing not completely new about this Tamagotchi, is the Online Tamatown. It can also go on to Tamatown using passwords and such. It’s pretty neat and fun. (More info on that later.)

So to sum it up, this Tamagotchi is very fun, and I would highly recommend it. So go buy one! There have just been released, and are currently being sold in stores, so you gotta buy them before they are discontinued! And you can’t forget to pick up a couple of figures as well! They really do make a HUGE difference in the experience of this Tam.
Until next time!

This is my new puppy Maya, she is 3 months old born May 5 this year. I have been clicker training her for about 9 days and we’ve had her for about 14 days total. We use the harness for walking her and the bell to notice when she stops so we don’t yank her head off, the harness has worked a lot better then a regular collar when we go on walks. focusdog.com

This is a video on how I got my stubborn toddler daughter to be potty trained using underwear with minimum mistakes. She became accidents free unless she is sleeping at night. Everytime your child goes on the potty give them a small reward (m&m’s and a sticker) as well as a sticker at night for their chart for staying dry all day with underwear on.

“Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child” by John Medina

Why is leaving your baby alone during the first part of pregnancy so important? Why is face time with Mom so crucial to maximizing your child’s potential and screen time so damaging? What can you do to give your child the best chance at being smart and happy? Scientists know.

Following the success of his long-running New York Times bestseller Brain Rules, John Medina, renowned developmental molecular biologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine and director of the Brain Center for Applied Learning Research at Seattle Pacific University, brings us BRAIN RULES FOR BABY: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five.
The book combines all the latest science on how best to develop your baby’s brain. Just one of the surprises: The best way to get your children into the college of their choice? Teach them impulse control.

Bridging the gap between what scientists know and what parents practice, each chapter describes brain rules — what scientists know for sure about how the early childhood brain works. The book presents the science behind the rules while offering practical ways for parents to apply the research. Medina, a dedicated father himself, shares his passion for brain science and for raising children, making the book easily accessible with humor, fascinating stories, and enlightening case studies throughout. Each chapter ends with a summary of key points.

My son will turn 3 mid-January, and is not potty trained. He has always done everything early developmental-wise, with this one exception. I bought him a "singing" potty chair, made a potty chart, let him pick out big-boy underwear, put a candy jar in the bathroom for a visual reminder that he gets a reward when he uses the potty, got a sticker book (again for rewards, as he loves stickers), but nothing has seemed to work. He just doesn’t seem to care! I’ll let him be naked or in undies around the house, and make frequent trips to the potty, but he’ll just end up peeing on the floor somewhere. He’ll poop and not want me to change him. He wakes up soaked in the morning. I try to be consistent without pushing him, and always offer praise when he does use the potty (he’s peed 6 times, but has never pooped). I know some kids just take longer (boys, especially), but I’m 34 weeks pregnant, and would LOVE to only have to change one son’s diapers!
I am not "wildly desperate", nor do I pressure him. All of these tips were not used at the same time, and we’ve been working on it for a year. It’s not bribery or manipulation, it’s offering reward along with praise for a job well done.

I can tell you what I did with my son. Getting him to poop in the potty was easier but he would wet his pants and didn’t care. I took him outside on a cold day to play. I would remind him about the potty. Half hour later he wet his pants and he was freezing. He yelled "I’m cold! I’m wet!". We went back inside the house and I told him "See, see what happens when you don’t use the potty.". He got motivated after that.

Have you considered padded cotton training pants? It seems to work best with toddlers who are making some effort to try to use the potty. If your son wears a size 6 diaper then the Gerber cotton training pants that you sometimes see in stores will likely be too small. There’s a more thicker padded training pants made of cotton that comes in a variety of sizes.

The advantage of anything cloth is that they are more uncomfortable for the kid than a disposable diaper including pullups. You can also get plastic pants to wear over it too.

http://www.pottytrainingconcepts.com/Waterproof-Potty-Training-Pants-B.html I use to be concerned about the leg openings on the link I just posted. It looks like it might be too tight. But some parents like it. I preferred no plastic cover for my son.
