Your son seems to have developed his primary skills of moral judgment and moral behavior sooner than your niece. Yes, there is absolutely a difference. Especially in men. Females from a very young age are raised to be much more comfortable with thier emotions than men. Females are more keen in...

Spanking is ok, within limits. Leaving bruises or broken skin is definately not. Not all children will respond to a spoken language, nor a certain tone of voice so the alternative to getting them to understand they must follow rules or a parents instruction is a spanking. There is always a...

How about rewarding her for following simple rules? Maybe some of her favorite fruits, or some ice cream when she is doing very well. I've seen colorful fruits like strawberries, different color grapes, and mangos do wonders with small children.

While I agree that rules can't be changed for every child, I don't agree that the school has the same decision making rights as I do when it comes to raising my child, and I reserve the right to demand an explanation of the reasoning behind a rule. Especially if I should be requested to help...

Good, no parent wants a sick child. Especially a child we can cloth well.

Wow. If the school ever called my house to question my home rules they would have hell to deal with. So as an adult, I realize I shouldn't call the school to question them about thier rules. If a parent doesnt like certain rules a school has in place, the parent should move his/her child...

I think the damage has been done. If this teacher made a clear distinction between heterosexual and homosexual relationships to a 6 year old child, the distinction can no longer be undone. Felix is going to remember. Sent from above...

I typed out "some" parents, not all. Some of the posts I've read are leading, which tells me some parents might not want advice... but are rather looking for other parents to tell them to keep doing what they are doing. I've seen plenty of parents who play each other and create adveserial...

Do you know if the teacher was referring to gay relationships or relationships in general? Teachers should not distinguish between types and should direct children of that age to refrain from relationship topics and focus on thier academics instead. 6 years of age is way too young to be...

Carefull, some parents are here to GIVE you advice... and not to hear any advice lol Sent from above...

It sounds like Felix is trying to be the teacher at school. That "other parent" had every right to complain to the school administrator. Lets use an example. If another child goes to school and starts to "tell" Felix about kissing, touching, or carressing another person in an armorous way, the...

Ok, the lesson the school is trying to teach is parameters and respect for authority and adults. I seriously doubt the school places emphasis on what the child "prefers" to wear or what the child actually has in his/her closet to wear. The child is in the process of being taught that different...

Ok, everyone is missing the point here. Nevermind the bathroom items, where and when did "helicopter parenting" become standard practice? Sent from above...

"Deodorants" as in several scents. Sent from above...

Why is my wife stuck on giving our step-son a medicine for everything. His bathroom sink, cabinet, and shelf are full of all kinds of allergy medicines, cut creams, scrap creams, itch creams, rash creams, skin moisturizers, foot sprays, foot powders, Claritin, daily vitamins, deodorants, body...

I have previous Law Enforcement experience and have dealt with hundreds of kids in all sorts of households. I have a 12 year old step son under my roof at this very moment and let me tell you the common denominator in mostly all the households... boys at around 10 yrs of age begin to test the...

There are many issues here that can be addressed with advice. Without assuming what you wish to get advice on, what issues can parents of this forum help with? Sent from above...

Married, one 12 yr old step son and a new recruit on his way arriving sometime late November. I've done Law Enforcement and now a federal security contractor. I am the rough parent because my wife is the soft one. Just looking around, seeing whats new in the parenting world (although I have...
