| I guess my frustration lies in the fact that I feel like I've done my part to make sure homework is being done and goes to school to be handed in and I feel like the teacher has fallen short of her duties on the other end to make sure it's collected. That and the fact that she failed to contact me i... |

| Right here at the end of the school year my daughter's progress report from a couple weeks back shows a drop from mid 80's to 23! 8O The huge drop was due to her not handing in her 2 different spelling homework papers. On Tuesdays she is supposed to hand in her cursive writing paper (based on spelli... |

| My (almost) 9 yr old daughter found a kitten outside the other day and she wanted to keep it. I was going to let her but the kitten was so small I decided it shouldn't be away from it's mother so I had her let it go back under the neighbors house to be with it's family again. About 2 seconds after s... |

She is bothered by seams in clothing, socks, etc One time I bought several beautiful empire waist shirts and had her try one on which resulted in an instant meltdown of crying and ripping... |

Over the past month I've seen an increase in behavior of her meowing like a cat and barking and panting like a dog, at times also dropping to the floor and jumping like a dog, etc in public. 8O She's doing this arou... |

Yeah, my 8yr old daughter does that at times. Usually when I've put her in a timeout and she gets really mad and upset at me. Then she tells me it's my fault.  |

| My daughter had an area by her privates that itched a lot. She would scratch and irritate it (not to the extent you are witnessing, though). The main part of it was around two inches long in the fold of skin where your leg meets your body. It would fan out from there and travel to her butt cheeks an... |

| My 8 yr old daughter takes piano lessons. I think it's so great for her because she feels so proud of herself when she plays. It's a wonderful self esteem booster for her. It's very therapeutic for her, also. Definitely look into lessons if you can afford them. |

| Thanks to everyone for your kind words. He was mainly an indoor dog, we would let him out to potty and stretch his legs and one of us would usually be out with him. He spent probably 90% of his time indoors. I usually let him out by himself in the mornings for about 20 minutes while I got dressed fo... |

| We came home to find out little 5lb 9yr old chihuahua dead in the backyard. He was laying there on his side with his head all twisted back around. I flipped him over to find a gunshot wound right behind his front shoulder/leg area. Of course, he was in the middle of the yard so my 8yr old daughter s... |

| Avoiding, or covering the ears, can be an indication 2 - that she is too "worked up" at the moment to process verbal input as anything more than noise. 3 - that she fears you are going to continue "insulting her logical order of things" Number 2 is definitely her if you try to talk to her "in the m... |

I hate homework assignments because the crap they send home is not something that my daughter (or most children for that matter!) can do by themselves. I end up having to do it all! It just ends up being an assignment for ME! It makes me so mad.  |

| My 8 yr old daughter has a VERY good imagination. In her eval from the school the psychologist commented on it in his report and commented on her having "questionable contact with reality" at times, but that my daughter seemed to realize that. Which I took to mean that my daughter said some pretty o... |
