Problem: How to prepare your child for nursery school
Work on potty training.
Some schools will expect your child to be at least partially potty trained, especially if your child is 4-years-old or older. If your child is younger, your child may not need to be completely potty trained, but you should be working on it with your child. OPTIONS:
- Unfortunately, some-preferably as young children-won't like potty training in small spaces like a bathroom. Out of respect for your child's needs, you should also be able to teach your child how to potty train outdoors.
- Wait for you child to be ready. Your child should start showing interest in the toilet and underwear, at about 2 or 2 and a 1/2, before you begin.
- To make sure your child is potty trained, try asking your child's pediatrician if this is possible and do so. Let your child know that potty training can be a fun part of a good day.
- Teach your child to use the potty. Pay attention to how your child likes to use the bathroom.

Answer: Wait for you child to be ready. Your child should start showing interest in the toilet and underwear, at about 2 or 2 and a 1/2, before you begin.

Problem: How to kill bamboo
Cut the bamboo down to soil level and wait for new shoots to grow back.
Before you spray new bamboo leaves, make sure that you either cut or mow it down and then allow it to regrow. It sounds weird, but you need to let new bamboo grow. OPTIONS:
- Bamboo herbicide won't be effective if the canes of the bamboo are well-developed. Bamboo is stringy but not very hard.
- Water the area well in the summer. If you have a water source, make sure you water it every other day.
- What this means is that when you clip down the stalks you flood the area with the new bamboo leaves. Which leaves to let go of is up to you.
- Look for bamboo that has been exposed to pesticides or fungicides. Any plant that's been sprayed with chemicals will cease to grow! Use a pair of garden scissors or a utility knife to cut down on weeds or other affected plants.
Answer: Bamboo herbicide won't be effective if the canes of the bamboo are well-developed. Bamboo is stringy but not very hard.
