I've always thought of bullying as repetitive aggression against an individual or group of people. Both bullying and general bad behaviour of course often go together also.

Dear Martin,

There are different techniques depending on the age of the child. In the case of the Escape Artist - we were talking about a seven year old, so boot camp is not a viable option. Certainly there are different approaches if you have these issues with older children. Our effort is to try and teach them self-regulation younger if possible.

Thanks!

In my case, I was very blessed that I didn’t experience that with my kids. I think my kids were able to understand that they should be behaving wherever they are. I think my method of discipline is very effective to the development of my kids.

Smart phones and tablets are a God send! We’re moving soon with a big road trip ahead of us. Firstly I’m hoping all the extra space in the new MPV will stop them from fighting in the back and secondly mien and hubby’s Iphones!

There are people who are actually looking way into the future and thinking about designing games for Smart Meter Networks. I think it could be interesting if a game actually got kids to learning about energy consumption. It would improve their maths and physics and they would become familiar with the KW/HR

Monica - funny you mention that. We took our family out to an Asian food restaurant and our 7 year old and 3.5 year old both wanted to eat with Chopsticks. The 7 year old was able to do it after a few tries. The 3.5 year old tried and then decided to use the chopsticks as spears and that worked. Creative problem solving.

It's difficult to imagine ignoring anything that has the potential to promote brain growth in the young or mature. Try eating with chopsticks more often.

We use the Board for three children. There are different color stars for each child.

I've been searching for something like this for the past two days. The Chore Board has great reviews I'm just wondering if it can be used for multiple children or do you need to buy a board for each child?
