I have three sons. 18,17 and 14. Man is that a loaded question!!!! I consider my kids as such wonderful gifts from God. I haven't and couldn't have ever done anything in my life time to deserve them. I would like to publicly thank God for them!!\nThey are special by the way they smile, the sparkle in their eyes ! They are special by the way they love me back. They are special by their sometimes mischievous ways! Their since of humour,I absolutely love! They have good hearts. Although with three boys as you might imagine, there have been and still are fights! Sometimes very physical!! At times they do or say something that lets you see that they do love one another. They have made me see life in a whole different perspective. You are not the same person you once were after the blessing of a child in your life. They are also special because for me, no matter how old I get, when I have my kids around they make me feel young at heart !!! They are special for who they are and for who they will become. Most of all what makes them so special is that God did create them! The very creator of ALL creation thought of my three sons! Thank you Jesus!!!

I try to look at my children the way I think God looks at me, I have learned that the relationship is very similar and I think this is by design.\n\nI give my kids guidelines and tell them what I expect from them, I explain to them that I will provide for their needs and love them no matter what, but they have to follow certain rules.\n\nI give them chores to do, I require them to take responsibility for there rooms and I asked them to do extra work to earn an allowance.\n\nI punish them when they get out of line and I praise them every day for the things they do right. I show them by example how life should be lived and I explain to them when I make mistakes.\n\nI on occasion forgive them without punishment to teach them mercy. I teach them respect for themselves and for others, and I also teach them to be careful and not to except everything at face value.\n\nI also learned early on with my first child that God uses our children to teach us much more than we will ever be able to teach our kids. \n\nSociety will tell us many things about our kids, but follow Gods example and you will have wonderful kids.

No absolutely not! I think what makes your baby special is the fact that he is your Unique baby with your features. A gift sent by God. Why would anyone want to change a gift that someone got them. This special gift is from God.

Its unusual, but very cool indeed... I classify cool things as things that are artistic, imaginative, and things that are talented and unique - in my view you do posess skillls that are northworthyly outstanding. So you are not weird - to me - you are the epitome and exemplar of greatness.... no lie.

You should have as many children as you can afford, both with your health and money.  I know of families with 12 children and they are great.  I have seen families with 1 or 2 and there is a lot of selfishness with them.  \n\nMy magic number is 10, but if it would be more, then that would be great too.  I know I could afford it.  I just need a wife who would also go along with it, and of course we would work together on everything.

Yes, they are. Until we learn to care for the ones already exisitng, we should hold off on creating more of our own. (Just a personal observation.) Perhaps some of these families who like to pop out kid after kid should adopt one (or several).

Start a hobby. Something your kids like too but leave some time for just you and perhaps the perfect someone...

-How does your child learn best (visually, orally, kinesthetically)?\n-Is there anything your child is especially interested in?\n-Is there anything you think I should know in partciular about your child?

Because it's fun! And, because it's the only way to get your own kids, and, because, it's the most sacred way to tell someone how much you love them. Plus it's fun! Peace. :)

Why We Love Kids \n\n\n  NUDITY \n\n  I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a \n  woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark \n  naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from \n  the back-seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!" \n\n\n  HONESTY \n\n  My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd \n  dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in \n  the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my \n  bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a \n   charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it \n  fell in the toilet a few days ago. \n\n\n  OPINIONS \n\n  On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from \n  his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not \n  necessarily those of his parents." \n\n\n  KETCHUP \n\n  A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar. During \n  her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to \n  answer the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her \n  mother Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you \n  right now. She's hitting the bottle." \n\n\n  MORE NUDITY \n\n  A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker \n  room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies \n  grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in \n  amazement and then asked, "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a \n  little boy before?" \n\n\n  POLICE # 1 \n\n  While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was \n  interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my \n  uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?" "Yes," I answered and continued \n  writing the report. "My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask \n  the police. Is that right?" "Yes, that's right," I told her. "Well, \n  then," she said as she extended her foot toward me, "would you please tie \n  my shoe?" \n\n\n  POLICE # 2 \n\n  It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the \n  station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, \n  and I saw a little boy staring in at me. "Is that a dog you got back \n  there?" he asked. "It sure is," I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me \n  and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?" \n\n\n  ELDERLY \n\n  While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly \n  shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. \n  She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, \n  particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her \n  staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself \n  for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, \n  "The tooth fairy will never believe this!" \n\n\n  DRESS-UP \n\n  A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw \n  her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that \n  suit." "And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a \n  headache the next morning." \n \n\n  DEATH \n\n  While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister \n  heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. \n  Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. \n  Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small \n  box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal \n  of the deceased. The minister's

I didn't necessarily have my children later in life, but honey, we had the same issue with our oldest son.  We have five, one girl, already in college and four boys.  All the other children are tiny, but my oldest son inherited the genes from my father's side of the family.  Which means he'll have a thicker build and be extremely tall (My brother is 6'4", cousins as tall as 6'7")  My son is only 15 and he's already 6'0" and 195 lbs.  Because the kids started teasing him at an early age, he developed this shyness about him and just didn't want to socialize with anyone.  Which meant, he didn't want to go into sports or any other activities, much less school.  THis was his first year in high school and over the summer, we had to force him to join something (we did it with all our children...our logic was get into something before you get into trouble) and he chose a summer football program.  He hated it at first because he didn't know anyone and was rather shy.  But within that first week, he had a ton of friends.  Because of his size, the coaches loved him, as did the quarterback in which he protected.  It's as if I have a different child.  All of a sudden, he became outgoing, the girls started calling and football is his life.  Before I knew it, he was begging to sign up for football when school started.  He already knew most of the kids from the summer program and because of his size, he knew he'd fair pretty well.  And as it was, he did.  He now loves school.  I can barely keep him home and for once...he's truly happy.  I felt horrible when this all started, so I feel your pain, but sometimes parents have to look outside the box, set our emotions aside and think about this logically.  If your son is tall, try signing him up for a basketball camp in your local area.  If anything, at least he'll meet other kids his own size who have the same issues...and  maybe it'll carry over.  The idea is to get him out there and sometimes that takes a little shove.  I know he's your baby and as a parent it's hard to do...but you have to ask yourself...what's harder?  Watching him so upset and depressed...or watching him smile while he relates with others that have gone through the same thing as him?  And if he's not sports enthused...find something else honey.  Kids today have so many options available to them.  But it is IMPERATIVE that you find something for him, and I do mean that.  Being a teenager is hard enough.  Being a teenager with no friends is suicidal.  I don't want to scare you, but not ony am I a mom...I'm a social worker and I see it alot.  It's the little things that make a difference to them and although I know you want to make him happy, he needs to find some happiness in himself too!\n\nI wish you luck!

My family would probably say I am... I'm the 3rd of the 6.  I think it really depends on the family and the personality of each child.  Of my kids my 4th (of my 6) is by far the joker of the bunch.  Every child and every family is different.
