Grade-Schooler

She isn't really "into" any one thing right now. She kinda plays w/ her dolls still but not enough to spend more money on them. I would like to get her something that is fun and will be put to good use.

Any ideas???

Hi there,

I need your kind help and genuine advice concerning a situation.

Our 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with autism two years ago. She attends an autistic school full-time. It's her second year there.

Should she switch into a mainstream public school, she would be clearly entitled to additional funding from the government for her educational needs [owing to autism, of course].

We have the following two options for her to choose from. In both cases, she would be getting the same amount of funding, of course.

My QUESTION is: Which option would be best for her do you think? What are your reasons?

Thanking you in advance for your generous support.

Okay my daughter is 11. She has ADD. Usually she is somewhat helpful. Lately she has been very abusive with her words. She dont want to do her chores, which give her an allowance. She whines and complains about everything we ask of her. She loves to aggravate her brothers just to hear them whine. I have gave her punishments from writing essays to taking things from her. It just seems as though nothing is working. I want her to learn responsibility and respect. How do I do that if she just doesnt listen.
FYI: She does take meds for her ADD. It usually wears off by the time she gets home from school.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My daughter is very bright, she is 6 in the second grade and is already working on pre-algebra in her free time. She is not a normal 6 year old, she never played with dolls although I have bought her hundreds of them. Every one who meets her says she has an old soul, she is very very almost too mature for her age, she see the world differently which I encourage, I am proud she does not follow the crowd. This halloween she is super excited, she is going to be dead Snow White she even has a back story, she said she is the Snow White that the prince never came to kiss after she ate the apple. She is telling every one. I understand she can not wear her scary make up at school so she is going to be pretty at school but when she gets home we are going to make her scary. The other day the teacher asked the kids what they are going to be for halloween and she told her, I received an email from the teacher saying that this is not normal for a 6 year old to want to kill a princess

She hasn't wet the bed since she was three. She doesn't seem to have a bladder infection. She said she was dreaming of lakes and streams. But I am concerned she should start this now. Is it normal to start bed wetting right before puberty.

My 2 yo and her 5 yo and 9 yo are going to go outside to play while we study on the patio. If the rain comes back, I afraid the 9yo will be bored. I know he plays football, but I'm not sure what types of things he likes beyond that. I have the movies Cars and Priates of the Caribbean. I'm going to the store in a few minutes. I'm going to get some extra crayons and coloring books for my son and the 5 yo. What do you suggest for the older boy?

My 8 year old step-daughter had a slumber party at our house last time she stayed here..

She invited 4 girls, 1 of which had held a slumber party a month or so before that my step-daughter attended..

They were playing little tricks on each other all night and one of the girls came and asked me if they could get some of my youngest daughter (2)'s pullups out of the bathroom because they were using them for a prank. I said sure, thinking it was innocent. THey hid my stepdaughters underwear and put the pullups in her underwear drawer, but gave her real underwear back later. I thought it was a pretty pointless prank, because I didn't realize what it was about..

They were making fun of her because she wet the bed at the other girls party a month or so back, but I didn't know that had happened because nobody told me. I didn't know they were making fun of her.

My husband's ex called tonight- she just found out too- and is upset with me..

What should I say/do? I feel terrible!

I was extremely rude to some of my favorite teachers, admins and my friends........Like for some reason, I was yelling at the teachers when they told me to do something. I was rude to my favorite admin.

I don't know, I was just so mean today.

I regret it now, how do I get over it as I don't have school until Monday?

I have a 5 year old son who wants to cheerlead this fall season. I've notice over the last year and a half that he has taken an interest in girl based activites. He wears his shirts on his head for hair, loves the Bratz and any other Disney female actress. I don't mind him cheering, just afraid at the way people will look at/treat him. What do you think, SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY!

Do you think it is strange if your Second Grade teacher wants to do a Home Visit? We are very uncomfortable with the idea. The same teacher won't allow the children to do a Halloween party - or any parties.

My 12-year-old son wants to dress as a girl for Halloween. He's always on the honor roll, has plenty of friends, and is always a happy smiling kid. He loves sports and has always been "all-boy". His father is out of the picture and has been for 10 years.

My son told me he thinks it'd be funny to go as a girl this year. I haven't acted like I thought it was strange and have gone along with it. I even took him to the mall a couple of days ago and bought him a pink frilly dress. Should I actually let him wear it to school (for their Halloween costume day) and for Halloween? Is this peculiar or is it just a normal kid trying to be outrageous and funny?

Thanks.

I'm a lone parent with four kids. The eldest 2 are at High School and can walk themselves there. They leave the house just after 8 o'clock as school starts at 8.30am. That leaves me with the youngest 2. My daughter is too sick to go to school and was feeling too sick to travel in the car, however, I needed to take the youngest boy to school and he is too young to walk himself. (His school starts at 8.55 am). I have no family or friends that live near enough for them to help me out, and Startrite won't help as my youngest is over 5. (The neighbours are too elderly to help too). Social Services say there is no help available. Basically I need to be in two places at once!
What should I do? My friend (who lives miles away) was in a similar situation last week - she was really ill and couldn't walk her kids to school. The school wouldn't help out (insurance reasons) and she got reported to Social Services!

My son is 11 and the only way to really get him to behave is through spanking. It has worked wonders for us. We now only need to do it ocussinally, it only happens a couple times a month.

Someone brought up that he is way too old for this punishment. I disagree. Whose right?
