Frequently Asked Questions  Printer version

 
The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our viewers. If you have any questions or concerns about this site please e-mail us at: faqs@eparentingnetwork.ca
 

Q: What type of computer do I need to view the webcast?

 

You should be able to view the webcast on any computer once you have downloaded Microsoft's Media Player. For the best results use a computer that is at least a Pentium I and has a high speed connection to the Internet.
 

Q: When Microsoft Media Player opens nothing plays?

 

When Media Player first opens it can take a bit of time (20 - 30 sec.) before you see anything, as the program prepare to play the webcast. If the Media Player logo does not appear in the viewer window almost right away you should check the program settings.
 

Q: How do I participate in the webcast?

 

The last part of each webcast will be a question period for our special guest. If you have a question you would like our expert to answer, you can e-mail them in during or before each webcast.

My son is 6 years old and weighs between 68 and 71 lbs. The booster seat we had bought for him from Sears had stated that when he was over 60 lbs. or approximately 8 years old that he would be done with it. Well, he's been out of it for almost an entire year now. Should he be in a different one?
