    do you gps your teen?...

    DO NOT GPS YOUR WIFE. It means you can track where they are! Creeeeeepy! It is a little device that can be put in a car cellphone or just carried around. It is a huge breach of privacy!

    depressed 13 year old with eating disorder...

    Look, adults really don't always know how to deal with it. Infact often they don't know. They over react or under react, or just in general do the wrong thing. So instead of saying this girl needs proffesional help, which it sounds like she does, I want to give you some advice. Talk to her about...

    Because I Said So...

    Oh yes, I did not enjoy school very much, which is probably key. I guess it was just hard for me to see the benefits of something like school, especially because it took up so much of my time.

    Involvement...

    I think eating together is good, though it does not work for my family a lot of the time. We go out to eat at a local sushi restaraunt a lot though, so there are at least a few times when we eat together. Eating together is a great way to talk about what has happened in the day and about pretty...

    Because I Said So...

    I also remember hating when my parents wouldn't explain why I had to go to school. It is like telling one of us to go stay in the raing for a while, but without giving a reason.

    Over-protective?...

    I think that depends on your kid. The important thing to do is to give them advice so they can make good decisions. My main point is, you shouldn't limit your child from having a childhood.

    Computers...

    Completely agreed. Instead of restricting your kid or breaching their privacy, teach them. Also privacy is a very important thing as kids are always being watched by adults, so it's nice if they have a way to talk to their friends in private.

    Over-protective?...

    I have to agree with twistertiger! No offense, since they are your children, but do you think you might have problems with them when they are teenagers and their friends are going out and doing things? I feel like a lot of these expiriences are important to children, and children appreciate...

    Just be careful with the situation. Things can escalate, and hitting children is not ok. Communication is key.

    Spanking Children...

    That is totally an awesome story! You have an awesome idol too! My dad is very simmilar to me in the way that we are both very disattached from fighting and pressure. That made me respect my dad a lot because he is so simmilar and we talked a lot about life.

    Video Games...

    My son get's five dollars a week. He does not spend a lot of money, so it is not usually a problem and he has not asked for a larger allowance, maybe when he is older (say 15) I will give him a larger allowance so he can go out and do things.

    How much do your children talk to you? When my son get's home he says ntohing happened at school, but oftens goes on rants about humanity. We have really interesting talks and often in the end he ends up telling me about everything that happened to me that day. When he was ten he wouldn't talk...

    How to Say I Love You...

    The best thing is to just show her your effection. I think it is awesome to make cards. I had a friend who works in mathematics and he wrote a cute little mathematical proof, which proved the statement "I love you!" His wife thought it was cute, and it is nice to do something special and...

    School Teasing\harassing...

    I would tell her to stick up for her. I would also tell her to comfort her friend. I am sure she will be find when she grows up. Kids are only horrible because of their insecurities. They are confused in a world they were not prepared for! Do not blame them!
