I have taught my son, Josiah, how to crawl just recently, I usually put an object in front of him and he normally started to get to the object. I'll put a remote control in front of him or a raddle and he will start to kick his legs and then he scoots by pushing his legs to move his body to reach the object. I went on the internet to find how to get babies to crawl and it gave me ideas. I followed them ideas as I just told you on how to have your baby crawl. He is not getting the hang of it, he is learning more quickly.

Eliza the online therapist is not helping, she doesn’t follow questions I ask, she asked me if I had any psychological problems, I said no and she asked me again like I had psychological problems. Then she asks why I repeat myself well she asked a yes or no question you will repeat yourself. I don’t believe this is reliable, waste of time, she repeats questions and stuff. I asked her how she was and she said “perhaps in your fantasies I am”, to me that’s creepy. As you see she don’t give you what you really want to know.

I hope to gain knowledge and learn from you the best I can so I can have a good education. I am interested in being a nurse so I would like to learn the study of psychology because it is the study of the human mind and how it works. I would like to experience you teaching me what you know and all you know. I would like to pass and move on to college. I am hoping to gain better behavior and better knowledge. If I am going to be a nurse then I need as much help and knowledge as possible. Nursing is a great career, it saves many lives, you have to be able to work with people and their behaviors and that’s what nursing seems to be about because you have to help others and interact with them, study them, figure out what they do and what makes them do it. Understand the environment you live in, what surrounds you. My goal is for you to teach me the behaviors of others, human mind, working with people. The goal I am reaching is for you to teach, me to learn and bring what I know to my future job as a nurse.
