I don't know. I think its always funny when its happening to someone else. I've seen what your talking about also. Kindof funny but I'm sure I won't like it to much if it happened to me i guess. \n\nSay someone says something about your mom. If your mom is dead you might take offense to that cause it brings up bad memories that you can't control. hmmm? It always depends on whats getting talked about.

Man, I was going through the samething with this really obnoxious girl once. I feel your pain. my plan of dealing with people like him is to stay clear of them. It might not be easy at first but once you keep avoiding and stay clear of him overtime he won't be a problem, and talk to your teacher about changing your seat, tell him/her that you have problems with this kid and that you don't get along with him that should help, and if that doesn't work well, you before taking things into your own hands try the plan first.

Just tell her that this person was wrong about the way he lived and she will know everything she want to know when she is ready. Tell her there is time for everything and this person history will not change if she just wait a few more years. she is just a kid don't worry she will find something else to occupy her mind soon.

I think he is a piece of crap and you daughter has gotten herself into a bad situation.  Unfortunately she is old enough that she can make her own dumb decisions, but things like that make me wish I had a bag of common sense that I could use to beat the crap out of people who do dumb things.

Sounds like you need to watch what you say around him.  Punishing him would be silly considering he was just repeating what he heard and probably had no idea it was wrong.  Kids are like sponges - they are learning from everything they observe.\n\nI have found in situations like that that if you seriously expalain that what he said was not polite (I would explain exactly why - that saying that word is a vulgar way of talking about a girl's private parts, but I'll leave that to you).  It may need to be firmly repeated a few times.\n\nIf they get a rise out of you, that will only make it more exciting to say.

I think all parents involved need to sit down together and discuss this...it's a decision that could make or brake this boy. Make a list of pros and cons...hopefully you can come to a reasonable decision. I hope it works out for you.

It sounds like he may have some deep rooted feelings and being he is so young, he is unable to express to anyone properly what is bothering him.\n\nDoes this boy go for any child psychology?  He may need to do this as well as take his medication.  Medication alone, can only do so much.  But with the proper therapy and medication, could mean a whole world's difference for that little boy.\n\nI wish him good luck and I hope he feels better soon.  I hope I was some what helpful!

Hi there!\n\nWell, I would like to say that a child should be provided an environment where he can be himself and develop into a good personality. \n\nI hope I do not sound 'cliche'\n\nAs a young teacher, I feel that most of the children now-a days are prepared by the parents, teachers or rather society to play a role which they could not play or reach the place which they have never been! \n\nI am not against encouraging them to face future but rather than providing with materialistic things and making them more dependent and selfish we can give then 'Values' which seem to be deteriorating day by day!\n\nThey should be made aware about the real facts regarding people rather than bookish knowledge!\n\nThey should be taught to share, to take all things whether sad or happy moments in their stride and develop self confidence with self respect but not arrogance and rudeness!\n\nthey should not be taught by instruction but indirectly by being an example!\n\nSo, I hope I was able to justify the answer and make sense!\n\nWell much more can be written but it would be too long answer!

Hey, enjoy the attention. Obviously he is attracted to you and some day he will have the courage to do something about it. If you don't want to take the initiative yourself, then - for the time being - just quietly encourage him by looking back, a smile, etc.\nIt is totally unimportant that he is one year younger.

He is  a cutie! Looks a little like my nephew and is Polish, so of course he is handsome.  My sons have a good chance of growing up to look like him, time will tell.

I would talk to her about it. I think it's cruel to put his hopes up like that. I would tell him he is limited but so are many other people and that doesn't mean he can't live a very normal life. But anything? no

Some semi-random thoughts...\n\n1. He sounds pretty normal for 5.\n\n2. Part of the problem MIGHT be some form of ADD, and I hate saying that since it is so often used almost as a cop-out. \n\n3. You focus on baseball/sports... how is he academically, in science or reading, in nature identification, musically, etc.? Wanting to be good at something we suck at is human nature- but if we really are good at other things, it is not a big deal.\n\n4. Kind of related to #3- what IS he good at? If not baseball, maybe soccer, or basketball? Most of us are really only decent in a few basic things- tall, skinny people tend to better at basketball than short, stocky wrestler types and so forth.\n\n5. Maybe his issue is that he is not so much a 'team' kinda person. Maybe some smaller group or private stuff would be better? Running, most track and field stuff, etc.\n\n\n\nI might make a list of stuff he has tried, and then look at each point and see if you can figure out what he liked and did not like about each. See if there are any common threads you can work with.

I wouldn't worry about it, its probably just her pattern of speech. I call people "kid" all the time, even people older than me. I say it without thinking and certainly mean no harm, but occasionally someone gets up in arms about it.
