    What activities do your kids do?...

    He was really excited when the artist accepted him as a student. Its really cool, but all that glass makes me nervous, even if he wears safety glasses :rolleyes:

    Do you agree with my methods of discipline?...

    I personally think the underwear thing is really weird. I put myself in that situation and thought about how I would have felt if my dad took all my underwear and replaced it with something I didn't like, and then sat there and made sure I put it on and wore it for a week. It boarders on...

    What activities do your kids do?...

    We usually wait for the kids to ask us if they can do something, and we have to limit how many extracurricular they do so they don't do too much. My daughter, 14, does vocal lesson and has for about 5 years. She has also been in a few community theater shows but there's nothing for someone...

    Encourage children to study through understanding their requirements...

    I don't remember any of these things. :P

    Hello...

    You have to make so many replies in other people's threads before you can start one of your own (or that's what it was like when I joined), but if you can't reply to any threads, I'm not sure what you have to do.

    Bad behaviour and parental attention...

    I think you just explained it all very well. I am not very articulate at times because English isn't my first language. I never understood, really, forcing children to eat things they do not like or completely clearing their plate. Its ok for me to not clear my plate if I feel I have eaten...

    Bad behaviour and parental attention...

    Honestly, I don't agree with ignoring most misbehaviors. There are some things I ignore, but when I really think about it, I only really ignore complaining about something silly. Even then, when the whining stops, I will ask the child what was bothering them... which I guess that could be...

    Pets!...

    Yeah, I know about all that. My mother and I introduced them slowly and in neutral territory, but mine just didn't like her. She was a happy bunny but aggressive with my mother's rabbit and with her cage but at no other time was aggressive. My rabbit was the new kid in town, though. She...

    Pets!...

    My rabbit was not fixed and female, and my mother's was also a unaltered female. That might have been the problem, but my mother's rabbit was really gentle in and out of the cage. We're planning on getting whichever critters we decide on fixed after about two weeks, hopefully to curb any...

    Pets!...

    We are, but like I said, my rabbit refused companionship with my mother's rabbit. We had to keep them separated because mine would go into attack mode if they were in the same area at the same time. We're adopting one from the shelter, and it depends on if they have been able to cage the...

    Pets!...

    The rabbit I had before my mother got cancer wasn't fixed, so she was very possessive of her cage and if you didn't heed her warning to get away from the cage (wether I was spot cleaning or putting fresh hay or food in it), she would draw blood. But not before a bit of boxing to warn me. :P...

    Pets!...

    Ah, I didn't realize I would get such negative responses. I fear asking questions all the time in this forum. I really didn't think I was asking stupid questions. The rabbit's cage would be in a 4' long cage on a table that's just as long.. And only when my oldest son, who the rabbit would...

    Pets!...

    With 5 kids and a dog, do you think adding a small animal like a rabbit would be a good idea? I'm mostly worried about the younger kids being unable to resist trying to touch it or get in its cage when we have our backs turned, and the dog is a lab and may have a very hard time being trained to...

    Work load...

    I'm not entirely sure why this is necessarily harder for the mother. I can understand that a mother has more of a connection to a young child, as she gave birth and many mothers desire to stay at home and nurture their children. But dads aren't exactly incapable of these feelings; in fact, I...

    What You Need to Consider with Childcare?...

    Does the ability to be great really depend on primary education? Don't get me wrong, I think primary education is important, as with any other aspect of education, but when I think about my own development, the most defining years of my life started in Middle School. I'm sure its different...

    Summer Problems...

    We don't allow the kids to sit in front of the tv all day, but that's essentially the only thing we do during the summer break. We do more as a family during the summer because I have a vacation too (since I am a teacher), but the kids do their own thing. If they want to sit and read books all...

    Sleep Trouble...

    Usually a good suggestion is to play calming music or sounds, which you're already doing. Is he taking any medications? Anxiety can lead to sleep walking, and actually, sleep deprivation can also contribute to this problem. Is the sleepy time tea caffiene free? It should be, I would assume...

    Eating habbits...

    IMO, I feel like offereing dessert as an award can lead to eating disorders as a child grows older. I've never liked bribing in the first place, but using food as an award seems a bit counter productive too. They only eat healthy stuff so they can have sweets after? They get a reward for doing...
