My son is 10 yrs old and approched by a 9 yr old in his summer day camp who put his arm around my son and said to him  "Do you want to go to bed with me?" and then grabbed his own rear end and said to my son " you want some of this".    Obviously, there is a psychological issue with the 9yr old in my opinion.  However,  it does disturb me as to this as this occured two times before with in different environments with different individuals. 

I discuss these issues with my son in the best way I can to have him understand at his age.  Dont mind if he pops them in the nose either, I will back him on that, but really,  does anyone have an opinion on how a child should handle issues as this.  He gets upset when I tell him he will have to confront these people if the adults around  are not present at the time.

Anyone with any responsible answers?

I am researching hundres of sites looking for the best "homework helper" sites to include on the Kidfluence website. I have been approached by a lot of tweenagers asking me to include some resources for help with homework.

I have complied a strong list , however, I have been asked to break it down into two categories. 6-8th grade and 9-12th grade. What I am unsure about is the exact subjects that are discussed in those range of grades. For example, social studies (US history, flags, presidents, etc..) - when is this discussed? is it part of the HS cirriculum or middle school? How is math spread out. Fractions, algebra, etc...

Let's just say, it has been a long time since my HS days and my kids aren't in those grades yet. Can anyone assist me and basically take the two grade ranges and tell me what subjects, areas are taught inthos grades. Particular attention to Math, Social Studies, Science, Health, etc...

Thanks for the help!

Steve

When I or his teachers or his mom tell him we do not like his behavour, he tears up, like he wants to cry. He's 14 years old.

He's no trouble just sometimes - I think like a lot of kids - he acts a bit rude. We do not ever hit our kids - ever. And we don't scream at all. We are always calm when we tell him we are upset with the way he is acting.

I started to think its chemical, you know heritatory because I was like that. Even now if my clients or bosses get mad I could get upset.

My son is a great person. He is confident. It's just when his mom or I or a teacher simply tell him we don't like his behaviour he wants to cry.

I have a teenage daughter that seems to lie over things that are not necessary to lie about.  She will ask can she go off with one person and end up going off with someone different.  For example, if she is at her friends she will call and ask me can she go off, I may say yes as long as she is where she says she's going to be and she is home when she says.  Last week she asked about having someone over (my nephew, b/c he likes her friend and they were at the friends). We told them no, you are suppose to be working and there is not an adult there so we don't want any company there when there is no adult present. They said ok, then they had him come pick them up and went back to his house with his parents out of town (he was suppose to be at his grandmothers and, he wasn't). We drilled these kids for over 2hrs. and they continued to deny that he had picked them up. When they figured out we already were putting the pieces together, they told us. The sad part is that they lied to three adults even after several hours of talking to them.  I will be glad to hear any suggestions from parents/ teenagers that have pulled this and now realize lying will get you no where.  Also if anyone has advise on teenagers that try drinking and try smoking cigarettes.  I don't know what else to try with this teenager.  Also she wants to go a private Christian school, since she has given me so many problems I don't know if I should pay for this kind school, If it's going to help then I don't mind but, if I'm just wasting my time, money and energy then it's a waste.  This child has a lot going for her, she has a 99% chance of getting  a full ride to college and, if she doesn't get her life in order she is going to loose this opportunity. Thanks,

Christine
