Pregnancy & Parenting - 27 November 2006

Kids keep growing up faster, what is causing this? Its funny because not only do kids seem to be growing up faster, people are staying teenagers in their minds longer. I mean there are 40 year old guys who are gamers for Gods sakes. And most 40+ men are still in the college age mindset. So the range is widening at both ends.

It started the week before Thanksgiving, it happened again today and he was suspened for a day. I am at the end of my rope. We have taken things away from him, made him sit in his room, "clean" the bathroom (the school suggested giving him a chore) giving him extra school work at home, but nothing seems to work. At school he is now not able to eat with his class and will spend recess in a 4th grade classroom. They think at school that he likes the girl, which I agree with. He was never a biter when he was little. He knows that it hurts, that she does not like it and it is not OK. I think because he is not doing it to be mean (which does not make it OK) he does not think he is doing anything wrong. He did ask to give her a hug but she said no (do you blame her?) Any suggestions on how to get him to stop would be great. Thanks.

My 16 year old step-daughter is quickly becoming more and more of a handful. She's always been rather conniving, setting her older sister up to yell at her or get her in trouble then play the sweet little victimized angel. Pretty soon it was tellign me to pick her and a friend up at the mall... no problem... until i get there and search for her for three hours only to find out that her frind "didn't feel good" and they walked to my grandmother's appartment a few minutes away. Then there's the lying... she'll look me right in the eye and tell me I promised her something or said something and I know I never did. Recently she was grounded from going anywhere or being online for a month for not coming home from school like she told me she was then not even getting home until 12:30 AM. This time, just this Saturday, she and a friend and her older sister went to this little teen club with a friend of her sister's, She told a 21 year old boy that she was 18 and came home drunk.

You can praise a child all day every day, but if a parent says something negative once then it seems to be the only thing that the child remembers.

My son's teacher was fired last week
and it will take the school about a month to find a replacement.
My son doesn't want to go now because he liked the other teacher.
Also it took him about 3 months to warm up to school and now this happens.
Don't know what to do.
any advise would be helpful!

Also another parent in my son's class was the reason she got fired for a mistake that the teacher made. I thought she was an excellent teacher and think she should not have been fired!

i thought the diaper genie was the only choice but it sounds like the diaper dekor needs refills less often. the diaper champ uses regular trash bags but how often do u change them? and a regular trash can is always an option but i live in a small 2nd story apartment and taking out the trash requires going down a flight of stairs and a large hill

Why is it that it seems like no other girls are waiting until marriage to have sex anymore? My friends mother is a nurse and told me about an 8 year old that had a baby the other day and is in critical condition. I had a big circle of friends with me who were going to wait and all of them bailed, Im the only one left. Im not going to give in. When I was in 6th grade my mom bought me a ring (its really pretty) to wear on my ring finger as a promise to god and my future husband, not her, to wait until marriage. All the guys Iv dated previosuly thought it was cool... until they cheated with someone who would have sex with them. I finally found one who is waiting too (thought he already broke it when he was younger) but he cheated on me too and had sex with someone. He felt really bad about it, and I forgave him, one more slip up and hes out, but I was just wondering if any other girls are waiting out there, and if you didnt wait, do you regret it now or no?

I have a nephew who is 6, I watch him and his siblings while the parents work. He is out of control, the school is calling because he is hitting, spitting, kicking and throwing pencils at other students. He hits his little brother, he refuses to listen or do what he is told, he is mouthy and like to try to minipulate people to get what he wants, he attempts to steal things, and he has burned my car seat as well.
We have tried everything to try to control this situation. Mental health was also contacted and they are to full to see him because they only have three councoulers do to the area we live in. (very small town)
Nothing works with him and I don't want to see his behavior progress to the point where he ends up in jail or prison later on.
If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly apprectiated.
