Yeah, I feel that I blogged about her too much in August :-)

Maybe you will get that indoor park that the children SO deserve!! Your writing is so wonderful, that it certainly deserves to be noticed and Pristine is so photogenic that she is a perfect subject to put in the paper. I can't wait to see the article and any follow up. Have a great week. <em><strong>The indoor park would be great. Actually, there's an indoor kid entertainment during the Dubai Summer Surprises even (mid-June to mid-August) but it is filled with toxic attractions such as video games, carnival rides. It is also expensive.</strong></em> How exciting that you have been heard by the media in Dubai!! Maybe you will get that indoor park that the children SO deserve!!

The indoor park would be great. Actually, there’s an indoor kid entertainment during the Dubai Summer Surprises even (mid-June to mid-August) but it is filled with toxic attractions such as video games, carnival rides. It is also expensive.

I'm glad your experience could be recognized and hopefully it helps other parents and children in the same circumstances. Those are very great tips too =] <em><strong>Thanks, Kayla! Most parents and children are not here in Duba in the summer but if they are, I hope my tips can help them and they can share what they do at home to keep the kids busy too. Sadly, no one from Dubai is commenting on this particular post!</strong></em> Oh wow, that’s so wonderful!!

I'm sending the link to this post, to several of the moms that I go to church with. They are homeschoolers, and I think that they will appreciate your info! <em><strong>Thanks Libby!

I have to give it to you, because I know some parents who don't take that much time out. They prefer to send there kids off to some sort of day camp.

Looks to me as though Dubai needs to be a bit embarrassed. Dropping the ball on the education of tomorrow's leaders doesn't sound like a good plan. Such a busy place, such an opulent metropolis of wealth and yet, what will tomorrow bring if those children are not properly educated? 190 days here doesn't seem long enough. The first back to school month is spent "refreshing" their minds as to what they learned last year. I'll imagine teachers there have a rather difficult time picking up the pieces of an apathetic summer "vacation". I'm glad somebody heard you and Pristine and I'll be watching for any follow ups. So sad for Pristine. That little girl is going to pee her pants on the morning you say, "Yes, sweetheart. Today is school". You MUST show us her back to school picture! <em><strong>I've got back to school photos to show everyone soon! We were at school today for an induction program. She was literally bouncing on walls and woke up before 6 am! The program starts at 9:30!</strong></em> That’s a very nice article and I would say congratulations except it doesn’t seem appropriate.
