    My 15 year old son misunderstood me...

    Yep, he's going to go do something just like that next week. He is on spring break in a few days, and I'm letting him go with his friend and his friend's 25 year old brother skiing in Wyoming for a week. I'll talk to him tomorrow like you said, and hopefully the skiing trip will help his stress.

    Time out in their room, (And time out in general) what's you're take?...

    I usually don't send older kids to their rooms. I stopped doing it at age 10. I only did it when my son was really angry, and he just needed to go calm down. It wasn't really punishment, just time in his own space to think about stuff and take a breather. I'm sure he had fun in there, but my...

    My 15 year old son misunderstood me...

    Ok, so I have a son who is currently a freshman in highschool. He has extremely good grades, and I am always proud of him. He is taking 4 honors courses, and even an AP chemistry course with Seniors because he loves science a lot. So recently, I got a report card from his school, and he had all...

    What age do you stop spanking?...

    I would say eight. I have only spanked my son once, when he was six and intentionally poured grape juice on a dining room chair and started laughing (That chair was ruined forever). Spanking them at too old of an age won't make them stop doing something. It will make them get extremely angry at...

    kids say the darnedest things...

    Sounds funny. If he is trying to get your attention, try to make him laugh. Have a peanut in your hand, and when he runs up to you and yells that, pretend to take it out. I did that with my 3 year nephew, (Except with a pea in his ear) and he started laughing for nearly 10 minutes. It was really...

    7 y/o calls himself a loser...

    He could have just had a rough day. And since he isn't your kid, I would leave it to the parents. No need to offend anybody by trying to pry into other people's family lives. But what could be happening is he could be getting bullied. He might hear people call him a loser, so he begins to think...

    Distressing Discovery...

    I wouldn't confront him about it. It would just make him feel weird. I would let it go, because he could just have a foot fetish. I am 99.9% sure he isn't attracted to you or your feet(Never thought I would have to type that)...just to feet in general :)

    How long does homework take for your elementary student?...

    It all depends on how quickly your child picks up the curriculum. My son got all A's in grade school, and never had to lift a finger. He would do his homework between classes, and do his huge projects in about 10 minutes. But now that he is in high school, he gets about 3 hours of homework per...
