You may see them sometimes even in Internet Explorer 6 when in a thread.. But IE6 isn't supported well anymore and is full of security risks . Nearly all major sites no longer actively create fixes for IE6 compatibility. (including Google and YouTube)

One tip that has worked for me is to ask my slow poke son whether he wants to shower the night before or in the morning before his sister. He chooses before his sister because he knows it irritates her to wait. She is an early riser.
Why does this help my morning? He knows he loses the morning shower "privilege" if he is pokey about getting up and in the shower. Once he showers, he is moving. He gets dressed right away and then gets his breakfast.

Winter is a great time to explore nature. Animal tracks are easily visible in the snow. Birds' nests are easily visible in the bare trees.
I like to take my kids on a trail that runs along a nearby river. We follow rabbit tracks to their dens. We look for all sizes of birds nests- including eagles that nest near there! We can find raccoon tracks, etc. We look for hibernating animal dens. It's a great activity for these long winter months!View Thread
