My husband wants to take our 10 year old daughter to the basketball game. He plans on leaving her in her seat if he needs to go to the mensroom(which he always does), is this safe?

My son is very emotional and can cry at the littlest thing. He doesnt share or accept that taking part in activities is fun he always wants to win although as not the most coordinated child this isnt very often. Although it is difficult to admit his behaviour can be very frustrating and I often think I love him more than anything but I dont like him and that hurts. What is more I am sure he picks up on this.I have attempted everything when he is with me to build up his confidence but nothing works. I have spoken with other children in his school and they just say he is annoying, crys at everything and tells the teacher on everyone for the littelst thing. I understand that it must be in part to do with the way I have brought him up but his younger brother is the exact opposite. Happy to take any advise but not sure which way to go. Thinking of taking him to councelling along with myself in an attempt to deal with this but wanted to know if anyone else had ideas I could try.

ok this is the thing...my stepson is 10 yrs old and his mom has been letting him hang out and spend the night at this 50 yr old guys house since the summer.the guy buys him everything..psp,games,camcorder.etc
my stepson denies anything is going on and he loves this guy to death.he shows no signs of being abused but i guess some of his moms friends called her and told her the guy is a sex offender so she confronted him about it and he said he was arrested years ago for lettin his 15 yr old nephew watch porn.so we got suspicious .we called the dr's to see if they would do an exam on him and they said we need to get a referral from the cops.and the only way to do that is tofile a report.so we went to the police station and told them the whole situation and they said we have nothing to go on.so my question what do we do now?my stepson is so mad that we wont let him see this guy anymore.

alright im sick of it. hannah montana cannot sing, barely. if u wanna hear some1 sing listen to celion dion, christinia aguilera, or alicia keys, etc! at least when britney spears was in her right mind she could sing somewhat better than hannah! im sick of disney sugar culting everything. they make high school musical look sooo sweet, but really these people r our age, and they're just like us with hormones, thinking about sex 24/7,drinking, cussing, and doing some experimentation, as we've seen about vanessa hudgens.i don't know why every1 was so surprised about that, she's pretty and 17.leave her personal life alone.of course they do stuff with the opposite sex! & i guess now days if you wanna sing, or have ur own cd, just sign with disney for a show, and bam, u got it! they're just trying to make another mickey mouse club, without the club.the jonas brothers sing the gayest songs. im 17 and would be embarrased 2 sing songs like that!

I'm 13, and I was going to recess, and placed it on the ground. There is this rude girl, Amy. And she picked up my lunch box (without me knowing at all), and starting hitting on of my friends as a joke. (I barely even know this girl. Well, I kinda know her, I really don't like her at all) And she just put it where it was. One stitch came out and now my whole 50 dollar lunch box is ruined! I am grounded for it too, and that was my favorite lunch box! She didn't tell me about it either, one my friends did. What should I do!? should I make her pay for it? Should I tell my mom or just hid it. Would it be bad for my mom to call her mom?

So I am having my childs party at a facility that houses, 25 of those inflatable jumpers, I am getting pizza for the kids and I will keep the kids (25) there for 2 hours. So I am spending way more than I anticipated.

What is the rule for goody bags? Do I have to give them? There are going to be 25 +/- children going..if I do decide to give bags any ideas on what to give? I hate the idea of bags filled with crap, I would rather give a $5 gift certificate to all the kids for a local restuarant

my 7 yr old is very jealous of my 2yr old daughter. He is abusive and rude whenever she gets any kind of attention
He even has started to be violent towards his childminder in my abscence.

I try to give them equal attention but he finds it difficult to understand that he is capable of doing more than her and so she sometimes needs more help.

i always greet him 1st when i return from work and he has almost 2hours with me in the evenings without his sister when shes in her bed asleep. plus we have trips out just me and my son - yet still this is not enough he just does not wish to share me with her.

I have requested an apointment with our gp for a referal for guidance, in the mean time please give me some advise as to how to deal with this situation.

Our family moved cross country this summer. We enrolled our son in our neighborhood school for kindergarten. We've been happy with it but we don't think it will be the best place for him for 1st grade so we’re trying to decide whether to keep him where he is or send him to a private school.
Things I’m thinking about:
1) We know he will be safe in the current school for 1st grade but we also know he won't be challenged academically or develop strong friendships (80% of the students speak English as a 2nd language).
2) No matter what he will be changing schools for second grade (We're renting a house until we get a good sense of the area and plan to buy a home in summer '09.)
3) He handles “big changes” really well (getting a baby brother, moving across the country, starting K, etc)
So, do we make him attend four different schools in four years (Preschool, K, 1, 2), or do we give him a less than stellar first grade experience in order to provide a bit more stability. Thanks!

My six year old son is one of the smartest kids in his class. He is really interested in school, and loves to participate, which shows in the grades he receives from school. However, he is constantly getting in trouble for disrupting class and for talking back to teachers. I even have to tell him more than once to do almost everything.

He knows I am the boss, and as a single-parent, it is sometimes hard to get him under control and to understand that he should respect others and be able to make his own decisions about what is right and what is wrong. However, most of the excuses about bad behavior start with the phrase "But my friends asked me to..." I have told him to do what he feels is right, and I know he listens and understands what I am saying, but it seems he keeps making the same mistakes. And he even lies to me. He doesn't even try to hide it. They are such blatant lies, that it is rediculous.

How can I help him change his ways?
