Monitoring kids email

Society needs to accept that some kids are not the golden little magical creatures their parents had hoped.

Some of them are evil little pieces of shit predators who have no future other than jail or death, and even then only after harming many others.

It's just the way it is.
 
My kid (6) is learning to ride his bike w/o training wheels. He can balance fine. but the other day he was sailing across the school yard and forgot how to stop. I could have stopped him from taking a spill, but I let him take a tumble anyways . He knows how to stop now:laughing

:thumbup

How did you get him to stop focusing on the owie and get him back on the bike ?


My fav; flick the knife out, put a hopeful look on my face and ask: "is it broken, should we amputate ? " :laughing (which would usually then lead to; "well then, walk it off, let's walk it off.. " )
 
I'd think that there would be indicators that some thing was happening in his emails and visited sites.

Yes, but I am guessing there were indications in real life, and parents were in denial.

I asked him if he was ok (Yes) and then asked him what went wrong. We then reviewed how to stop and reminded him of the end goal of being able to pedal around on his bike. My son gets frustrated easily (he wants to complete the task perfectly), the mrs and I have been working with him on this in general. Not making a scene when my kids injure themselves helps too.

Once your kids reach 5-6yrs old they are pretty much set personality-wise. Any serious corrective actions for behavior after that age will be a big PITA, i.e. Super Nanny-type stuff. Establishing rules, respect and love in the first 5 yrs is much easier than fighting with a teenager later.
