TV does get a bad rap but if a family like mine can sit in the same room and all agree on what to watch and have conversations about what we were watching or just in general. I feel that that is a very great way of spending family time together because the biggest thing I miss about living at home besides my moms cooking is defiantly TV nights with my family we all had certain shows we liked and watched together and discussed and it really made my childhood and family a lot happier and brought our family a lot closer. Was This Mom Too Harsh? - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 05:57 PM I agree with punishing her son for his mistakes but to add more charges. Come on that a little ridiculous I mean he is 16, teenagers make mistakes and there is no way that a 16 year old will be able to pay for all of the court fees and all the other charges. There's a difference between punishing your child at home and bringing charges upon your son that will be on his record for the rest of his life. Parental No-No: Breastfeeding While Driving - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 05:41 PM This is completely absurd there is no reason at all for breast feeding a child while driving not even to mention she was talking on the phone and I can not believe that a mother would put her kids in such a dangerous situation she could have really done a lot of harm to herself, her children and other drivers on the road. I was flabbergasted when I read this article. Bonding With Your Baby Through Feeding Times - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 05:31 PM I think that it is very important for a father to feed his baby. Because when the baby is breast feeding there is a bond between the two that the father just can not compare too but if a father takes the time to feed his baby on a regular basis as well as the mother you will develop that bond. If a child sees both his mother and father as the primary care givers the bond will be lot stronger when the child grows up. Disciplining Your Kids - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 05:17 PM I feel that spanking should be a parents last resort in disciplining your child. Try time outs, taking privileges away, grounding, or assigning extra chores. And if that doesn't work spanking should on the bottom or the backs of the legs, spanking should never involve punching or pushing and excessive spanking one of the worst things a parent could do then you might lose the trust of the child. See, I Told You So! - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 05:08 PM When I was a teenager and lived at home I know that one of the only things I could control was my hair and hair cuts. And as much as it pains me to say this but teenagers will go to many lengths to defy their parents or attempt to control certain things in their life. The worst thing a parent can do is tease or criticize their child's hair because that is not going to make them want to get a hair cut any sooner. The best thing to do is do as you did and suggest that if he wants to be considered for a job he is going to need to cut his hair but try and be as supportive of your teenager as possible. What's IQ Got to Do With It? - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 04:55 PM I disagree with IQ tests in general I do not feel that a test can classify someones Intellectual level and I've learned in class that someones intellectual potential changes over ones life span. No test can measure potential without also measuring achievement. Humans also may have multiple intelligences. Why Does My Child Keep Overreacting? - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 04:47 PM Most children with special needs tend to overreact due to the confusion in their own brain. Things get very jumbled around up there and a child sometime reacts to the confusion with anger and outrage. The best thing for a child that is throwing a tantrum is not to get upset but try your best to calm them down and stay calm yourself and try your best not to raise your voice or yell at the child cause that will only enrage them even more. Assisting Learning Disabled Kids with Homework - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 04:37 PM I agree with all of the homework assisting suggestions. From being a student with LD's I feel that if a parent or some other adult would help kids with their homework it is going to help the child so much more than having them do it on their own. I will also give the child a lot more confidence in the class room. From my experiences with homework troubles as a child I would get very frustrated if I didn't understand a problem or continued to get the answers wrong. And if there is someone there to assist with homework the child is not going to get as frustrated but will not give up on the homework and move on to something else. Younger kids should always be supervised with their homework because they might not ask if they need help. Could a Point System Help Your Child with ADHD? - Blog Entry01 Apr 2009 04:14 PM I am a 22 year old college student that was diagnosed with ADD when I was about 16 and I agree with the points system it gives the child something to strive for and also will get punished if he or she breaks these rules. The one thing that helped me out the most was getting someone to teach me better study habits. It took me until I got to college to find out my most productive way of studying. The main problem that ADD children have to over come is procrastination we need structure and schedules. |
