My 7 year old son came home from school today and told him that another boy had taught him the "N" word. So he asked me what it meant. I told him that it is one of the ugliest words and that it is very hurtful. I also told him that a long time ago mean white people used it to say that about black people. So I have NO IDEA what to say to him and what else I can explain to him how awful that word is. Thanks for any info.

How do you deal with bed wetting? I have a son who is 7 and we tried everthing to get him to stop wetting the bed, no drinks 2 hours prior to be time, we tried getting up in the middle of the night, we tried the matress protector, and now have resorted to diapers at night. I am only home for 2 hours a night prior to bed time, we we need to cram, dinner, baths, and a little quality time with the kids in there, so I dont have time to wash the bedding everynight, and dont think it is healthy to leave him in the pee. So what do you do? His room already smells so bad from previous accidents, and we replaced the mattris once already. He also sleep walks, and is a very heavy sleeper. When we wake him up to pee, or for any reason, he stays asleep. It is strange.

I had sent my son in his room to put his pajamas on. It seemed to be taking an extra long time, so I went to check on him. When I walked in the room he was completely naked, and I think he was touching himself. Is this normal for a kid his age to do? I didn't say anything to him about it, but it kind of made me nervous.

I had volunteered my 10 year old daughter this summer to be a scorekeeper for a local minor league baseball team.

At first she seemed to really enjoy the job and spending time at the ball park. However, she did make quite a few mistakes in scoring the game initially. I really had to go out on a limb to get her this job and didn't appreciate her taking it so lightly.

Eventually I stepped in to help her while she and her stupid mother went on a vacation to the Lakes. That was disappointing, but tolerable.
What was NOT tolerable was my daughter then failing to return to scorekeeping with an improved attitude and ability.

I had her watch 3-5 hours of baseball a day. My goal is to have her work for the local team after High School. Why doesn't she see this as a great idea? Not only is it an interesting career for her, but it would allow me to get into the games free.

This is NOT satisfactory, and I am beyond broken and betrayed at my daughter's lack of faith in my vision

My husband and I have 4 boys, 2 are mine and 2 are his. For Christmas they all want a Nintendo DS. The problem is that his oldest son is failing 2 subjects in school (he is repeating the 4th grade). I instructed him to start bringing home his books from both subjects and to review the chapters they are studying that week every night. 2 weeks ago he brought home a progress report and he is STILL failing those classes. I told him then that if he brings his report card home on Nov 15th with ANY failing grades he could forget about getting a DS. Today he brings home a test from one of the subjects and he just blew it. He made a D (failing as far as we're concerned). I asked him where his books were and he said one was on the table and the other was in his book bag. I told him to go study and when I wanted to review the chapters with him I find out he lied about bringing both books home. At this point I'm ready to say forget it to the DS and not even worry about it. Am I being unfair?

She has no problem with breakfast or lunch...she'll eat anything i put down in front of her, but when it comes to dinner...she will not eat it.
I try being nice..i try being mad, sad, yell, whisper...everything to get her to eat.
It's not that we give her gross things...( i am not a restaurant and making 400 different things) and i make sure her vegies are not cooked ( she won't eat them if they are) and serve her on a small plate, so it doesn't look like there is lots of food ( which there isn't) give her a choice if dipping sauces..but she just plane out refuses to eat...then complains a couple of hours later that she is hungry. What do I do??? SHe needs to eat!!!!

I know snacks are important to keep the kids enegized and full between meals but, I have a hard time choosing healthy snacks for my kids. I always have fresh fruit, Bannana's , grapes, oranges and apples. But my 7 year old always complains about the fruit. What are some alternatives to icecream, chips and cookies?

I have a friend that's pregnant like me and actually due this month. She is on bedrest and had to pick her child up from school b/c she is acting out bad enough that she's telling the principal of the school, "yeah, you go ahead, just call the police!!!" My friend is at her wits end. I asked about her discipline methods and she said she doesn't spank b/c she (the mom) has an anger problem and refuses to on the account that she's scared that she won't stop.

How in the world are they suppose to put the fear of god in this child so that she'll learn that she needs to stop acting out? The mom is running out of ideas. She's already taking things away like the t.v. in her room and the phone privledges. What else do you think?

I am a single mother of twin boys that are 5. It was about 7:30 a.m. on sunday. My kids usually sleep in till about 9 or so. So I usually get up right before them. Well they woke up early. My littlest son desided to take my burse which I had right beside me and go through it in his room. He found my lighter, as my oldest one states what happened. " He started to burn a cryon and then he did it to the bed, but he tried to put it out." Since he couldn't put it out they came and got me up. They said the bed was on fire. I freaked, I grab a cup and then I grabed a bowl took as much water as a could. Anyways it ended up I ran and got my neighbor and he put it out with the hose.

After the fire was out I called my mom to comepick them up cause I didnt know what to do. My dad had him sit in one spot all day. Didn't get to do anything. But is that enough.he knows what he did wrong, but is there something else I should do? I just need some insight, on what i should do next?

I have 2 daughters 8.5 and 10.5 y/o. My oldest is budding, I've noted this since spring time. I think it's time for "the talk". Since I've never done this I'm looking for lots of help here.
1. Do I include her sister too? They are very close and the 8 y/o is very bright.
2. Do I do this in a few sessions. Talk about periods 1st. And the birds & bees at a later time?
3. Since I'm a guy, what would be the best way to explain this?
4. What are all the questions I need to be able to answer?
5. My oldest is a little shy, how do I handle this?
6. Is there anything I've left out?
7. How do I handle my nevousness?

My parents never had "the talk" with me so this is all new. How did it go for you? I'm very sincere about my question.

She's twelve.
Here it is:

Dulcie Ann Laurels walked down her street with a smile on her face. She was meeting her best friend, Cara, at the park in five minutes and together they would go to school from there.

They met at the park every morning because it was an equal distance from each of their houses and only ten minutes away from the school.

Today, Dulcie was in such high spirits because it was the first rehearsal for the play Annie that her school was putting on, and Dulcie had found out yesterday that she had won the role of Annie, and Cara would be Pepper. She was ecstatic, and couldn’t wait for the first rehearsal, which was for an hour before school today. And it was such a lovely day, too, with the bright sunshine above beating down on her, but it gave off such a pleasant warmth that Dulcie didn’t mind the heat.

She skipped along, moving as fast as her short legs could carry her, such was her exhilaration.
