I think my 12 year old was extremely interested to see those videos. He realized just how real it is to get abducted. Due to all his usage when I cannot monitor him say if I am at work or if he is using his computer in his room where I cannot see what he is doing, he needs to understand that...

I agree it's sheer stupidity....like the lady who left her baby at the grocery store for 40 minutes, really? What the heck. We have never left our kids anywhere, ever, ever, ever. Are these people on drugs or what?

Oh that is a nice looking forum. I bet there is some great topics there on parenting. Gonna check it out!

It's wrong to judge others. As a Christian I feel it is up to God to judge us. We should be here to be supportive, to be kind to one another and help others out.

I'm not against it but I do think that if you want to do it you are going to have to prove you can to a lot of moms who are already scared of that situation becoming a problem. They might wonder why might a guy want to watch children. Even if your intentions are completely good and you are a...

I think it is a highly situational thing. Just because a male babysits does not mean he is irresponsible or a child molester. On the other hand the risk is higher that something could happen to your child if you don't know the person and have not investigated their background. 90% of abuse...

BHill I agree with you, they should earn the money by helping out around the house. There is nothing like earning your own money and the satisfaction of spending it. It teaches responsibility. I thought this was a very interesting thread. I think you are doing the right thing teaching your...

I think it is an extremely interesting subject and I actually like investigating the near death experiences which confirm a lot of thoughts on paranormal experiences. My child loves watching shows like those but he is 12 now. He really didn't express interest until this year. I would...

I think that those are excellent suggestions. I think one solution is that there should be laws on leaving small children in cars. I think the laws should be so strict so that parents will not do it. That way there is no question about it. Leave your small kid in a car unattended, get...

Hi Welcome!

My answer is let him figure it out on his own. Don't do it for him. He is a responsible adult. He can figure it out. He needs to save money from his job or get two jobs if he wants a car. If you want to do something nice, get him a scooter or a bus pass.

I responded because I do have an interest in the topic. I am extremely interested in the spiritual world. I don't think there is anything wrong with children understanding about Paranormal. I think as long as it's age appropriate I don see any problem myself with what you have talked to her...

Tell him it's ok to mess up once in a while but not to give up just because one thing went wrong. Tell him to try again and remind him that he may not be the best at every sport. Tell him to just enjoy the sport itself and to take his time and not feel bad if something goes wrong every now and...

Wickett you are totally wise...I agree...stick to your guns parents...you need to be strong and not allow manipulation. A simple, " No yogurt, it's dinnertime." Would be all I would say and I would ignore whining.:v_SPIN: That being said perhaps a more filling snack would help like an apple...

Sensitive can mean anything!:eek:

As a Christian, I think my children should understand all things at age appropriate times. It is up to them to choose what is right for them. We don't need a lesson in Paganism here, this forum is about parenting not religion. Most children do not have a clue about religion inherently or...

Offer to take them out to the movies. Do not give them money to go alone or to have her go with the child's parents. Only activities "with you involved" like eating out, etc. Maybe take them out for an ice cream or frozen yogurt. Say no on occasion and say she (the friend) can come over but...

1. I try to stick to Fischer Price toys, Duplos, Wooden Toys, Or Very Indestructible Toys (legos as they get older) and only toys that can really hold up to hard core damage. Most of the Fischer Price stuff holds up well, is child tested and hard as heck to destroy. You can also find lots of...
