    5 ways to protect your child's brain and general health...

    I pretty much agree with all of them. I think they are common sense really, but as far as the banish the foods that are bad for the brain, I think as long as they don't overdo it on the bad foods, it wont hurt them.

    Monitoring Kids Music...

    I honestly never thought I would get the response I am getting. I never knew any different. I was always taught children need a firm, strict helping hand out in life. That is how I was raised mainly by my dad, but after his dead and being raised by my old, retired grandparents things were a lot...

    It goes deeper than that. It is the fact of whether they listen to you or not.

I didn't have a normal childhood, and although I don't want my kids to go through what I did with my father dying and me having to move, I do believe in raising them strict like I...

    Monitoring Kids Music...

    I do understand what you guys are talking about, but I was raised differently. I was taught to think for myself, but also that there were others who knew a bit better and were wiser, and thus to listen. Although I didn't agree with my parents all the time, I was always obedient and listened to...

    Monitoring Kids Music...

    While I see where you are coming from, a good child will agree with the parent and do as they wish, and not betray there trust. Children need to be brought up to do what is expected of them, and be obedient. It is expected that from time to time they will fall out of bounds, and it is our job to...

    Monitoring Kids Music...

    The age of listening to a song is when the parents deem it appropriate, in my opinion. If a parent does not like there child listening to a song, whether they are 8 or 18, then they should obey their parents and not listen to it, and if they do there should be consequences. Children need to...

    I'd have to respectfully disagree :). Kids will find out what it means eventually. I believe they need a strict, no nonsense helping hand out in life.

    Nothing wrong with the blues or country. I will teach my kids meanings behind songs, why people write songs. Take the blues for examples, people write them out of sadness and yearning. Whether it's about toughing living, or even a woman they wanted but couldn't get, it comes from the heart. And...

    Monitoring Kids Music...

    Hello, I am wondering what you parents think of monitoring kids music? As a child, my music was never monitored, then again when I did listen to music it was rarely, just wasn't a music person back then. When I did, it was mainstream rap, which I kick myself for everyday. I eventually got into...

There are people on youtubers called "Lets Players" who play through video games in full, so it is a good resource to get to know video games. As far as if it is okay for him, as another poster said, the worst thing you really have to...

    Should parents monitor kids' computer activity?...

    Growing up, and still today, my internet usage is not monitored. I personally don't really think it is required, unless something is obviously going on, then maybe a little bit wouldn't hurt, just to find out. But as others have said, trust is good. Trust your kids to use the internet safely!
