I am proud mom of two boys ages 13 and 4. My four year old has Down syndrome, most of my fears stemmed from a lack of knowledge about Down syndrome. Up until I did my research, all I heard was negativity.

There is such a misconception of what children with special needs are capable of doing. My son has been such a blessing in many ways in my life. He has taught me so much about life. I took it upon myself to promote positive awareness through showcasing art, film, books and more that is by, for, or featuring individuals with special needs. HYH (Have Ya Heard) Online www.hyhonline.com

I realized that the biggest issues I have with having a child with special needs are the negativity that comes from the ignorance of others. My concern is making sure he is healthy, but I also have the same concern for my child that doesn't have a diagnosis.

What are the fears or concerns with having a child that is disabled?

i'm not a parent so maybe my ideas are going nowhere
but i believe in corporal punishment and love & affection at the same time
my parents used to take a stick to slapped me everywhere while i had to stand on my knees whenever i was spoiled...and by spoiled i mean i wasn't really spoiled
i was punished whenever i didn't get A's in school or when i accidently wrecked things
i cried a lot as a child but somehow i learned to discipline myself
i admit i hated them a lot but at the same time i knew that they cared about me because after my punishment and after i showed sincere in my apologies, they would not say sorry but they would comfort me...so i couldn't hold a grudge against them
obviously that type of punishment isn't allowed anymore, but sometimes parents need to punish their kids and not let them get too spoiled...i leanred that life isn't fair when i was in grade 1

I have 2 school age kids ages 8 and 12 and we have pretty much exhausted recent movies geared towards kids this age. I am trying to compile a list of must see's that we saw as kids that we tend to forget to rent for our kids just because they were not made in the 90's. So far I have thought of Close encounters, superman, back to the future and several more but I just know there are great ones I am overlooking. Please list what you can : )

Kids from different country in USA for 7 MOS. I’ve printed countless activities 4 them from the net. I bought many card/board games. Hundreds of $$ in DVDs. We can’t afford monthly cable. In their country exists a” It takes a village ..." mindset. They had large groups of friends doing nightly sleep-overs and vice versa. In the US they can’t do that of course. Oldest works now. 4 the other kids that's extra difficult. 9 yo is a youngest/only girl. 12 yo boy rarely socializes w/her. 4 either of these kids to draw quietly in their room, read buy themselves; etc seems unheard of 2 them. As an audience is needed 2 even play a video game. I’m subjected to constant harassment and followed from room 2 room as if I’m with toddlers. If I’m in the bathroom longer than a few minute they knock & I'm questioned. Only car is husbands/he's a taxi driver. Works 19hr days. Won't buy even .99 activities. Says “Don’t bother me about my kids! And we will NEVER go 2 any counseling" Suggestions or input?

When parents give their children material gifts, is it right for them to ask their children to give something in return? for example, okey i give this laptop to you but you have to show me really good grades because if you dont then I would have to get it back.

This question was raised by my husband after watching a Dateline Show where they had a sting. My question...do think teenagers really do give out their addresses and meet these men? Why or why not?

How can a stay at home mom of young children (not yet in school) gain so much weight? I stay home and Im constantly running around,doing this n that. Ive got to be burning a thousand calories just from playing with my kids and chasing them alone. What are these other sahm's doing? Sending their kids to play video games and they eat chips and watch "days of our lives"? Not even doing their job which is being a stay at home MOM? Just curious?

Well my baby is 6 months old and still don't wants to hold his bottle..he tries sometimes but gives up really fast, he always wants me to help him holding his bottle. I have friends that tell me that their babies hold their own bottles already and they are only 5 or even 4 months..I know evry baby is different but..can this be my fault for spoiling him so much? Once again i don't want a lot of negatives answers..my husband is deploy to Iraq and my baby is the only person i have..so i try to give him just the best while his daddy is not home.
