Kindergarten - my child "going postal" every morning... by
Kimberly
Need any and all advice! :( My 5 year old boy just started
kindergarten last Tuesday. My problem is every morning when I drop
him off at his classroom, he goes into a horrible fit mode, he's even
ripped my shirt on one occasion.
I've tried everything. I've tried being very firm with him...

Homework over spring break (long) by
beeswing
Over spring break, the students in our daughter's third grade class were tasked
with writing a report on a country. The Kid has been to Mexico several times,
so she chose to do hers on Mexico. The report consists of about 20 pages of
worksheets asking for information such as population details,...

Inconsiderate drivers and kids who walk to school by
Claire Petersky
My daughter walks or rides her scooter or bike to her elementary school
every day. Because the route goes on a footpath, it's only a quarter mile;
the route by motor vehicle is four times longer. The biggest problem right
now the kids walking is all the other parents who drive. She only has...

appropriate age - music / ballet class by
Jean
Hi,
For those with experience, at what age did you send your child to
music and ballet class? Did she benefit from it or you think you could
have waited for another year. Thanks.
Regards

Character of a growing girl (middle school question) by
beeswing
I posted this question in the financial aid thread, but I'd really like to
discuss it further. Could anyone please give me some input on this?
If one can (potentially, maybe) pay for instate, public university education
*OR* private school (especially at the critical middle-school level), how...

Help with a camp activity by
Luna
Hi, I'm a first time camp counsellor at the YMCA summer day camp, and I am
trying to get prepared for camp with some activity ideas. One of the
"rainy day" games I thought of is called "Who am I?" Each kid has a name
of a character taped to their back, and they ask the other kids yes and...

Does "no presents" really mean that? by
D&K Condron
I recently went to a child's birthday party that requested no presents, but
a dish of something yummy to share instead.
Well, out of 8 moms invited, I was the *only* one who did not bring a gift.
Did I miss something? I admit that I am new at the mommy thing, but to be
the only one who did as...

Awful Halloween costumes by
Nevermind
Yet another chapter in the saga of the "typical" 8 YO boy and his PC
mom. He wants to be Freddie. No, he has of course never seen that or
any other similar movie, but he thinks Freddie is "cool". In general,
I have learned to avoid fussing over his interest in violent and scary
imagery, as he has...

I am having some trouble with my wife. We have two boys, one is
2 months old and the other is 19 months. I work and my wife stays at
home. Lately my older son has been whinning and crying. He does this

training bras by
beeswing
I have a third-grade daughter. A classmate's mother is pushing me to
buy training bras for my daughter, which apparently her daughter
already wears. While it's true my daughter is starting to "bloom,"
she's still young and hasn't shown an interest herself. (I offered a
while back.) My daughter...

Clothing for tweens by
Beeswing
My daughter is 9 and is getting to a point where she wants to pick
clothes for herself. We were in a hurry yesterday and she needed a few
new tops and pants, so my husband and I took her down to Sears with
express purpose of looking at the Lands' End stuff. Well, it's between
seasons, and there...

Kids playing in the streets by
Mandy Anderson
I'm furious with my neighbors who seem to think the streets in our
subdivision are for playing. Several women who have nothing better to do
petitioned the county to put speed bumps in to slow cars down, yet the
speed limit of 25 mph is still fast enough to kill or injure a child. When
the sun is...

Kids drinking out of a garden hose by
Beeswing
We just had a girl come over for a play date with our daughter. She'd never
been here before, so I tried to be extra conscientious about things like not
letting her go out of our yard unwatched, me dropping in to check in with them
frequently, those sorts of things (both kids are 8, btw). My...

Halloween candy by
Claire Petersky
My husband thinks it's unreasonable for me to buy Halloween candy 3 weeks
in advance, and for me to expect that there still to be Halloween candy in
the house by Halloween. Since I managed not to eat any Halloween candy, I
don't think this is so unreasonable to expect others to exercise...

Songs they don't teach any more by
Scott
I was amazed to learn this month that my kids (10.5 and
almost 8) have not learned the words to 'Erie Canal'.
I thought that was required learning for elementary schoolers
everywhere, but it seems I was mistaken. :)

Kids are Worth It by
Robyn Kozierok
I recently picked up the book "Kids are Worth I: Giving Your Child the
Gift of Inner Discipline" based on a recommendation (quite possibly
from this newsgroups, but I actually don't remember where). I have
read/skimmed a lot of it, and I like the philosophy, but I can't quite
figure out how to...
