9-Year-old Asking About Sex

My daughter has asked me what the word sex means and what sex is. She is 9. I explained to her that some questions are very difficult to answer and that I would like some time to think about it so I answer it the best way I can. She accepted that but I feel I need to give her an answer soon. Any suggestions? How much should a 9-year-old know? It's obvious someone, probably a kid at school, has used the word or talked about it. Otherwise she wouldn't be asking. I do realize she could have also gotten it from TV. We have already talked about...

Detention for an 8 Year Old??

Okay, I have an 8 yr old whom I've recently gotten a diagnosis of Dyslexia through a private evaluator as the schools would not help. He does attend a catholic school, but I keep the public school involved. He has "unofficially" been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. (This is just so you know a little of his background) Here's my dilemma the teacher asked him about his assignment book & he said he didn't have it & later she found it in his book bag. He got an automatic 1 hour detention where they are not allowed to read, write or do anything...

Seeking Mom's of 9 Year Old Boys

My son is 9 years old. He is in the third grade. He is extremely smart, this has been proved with tests, not just my mothers bias. He is a really good kid. He wants to do well. Here is the problem. His focus is lets say less than spectacular. Because of that his grades are suffering because he doesn't complete his work. I think this is partly because of bordom. At home he is bombarded with tons of homework because of the stuff he doesn't complete in class combined with his normal homework. But it takes him 5 times the amount of...

Would You Let Your 9 Year Old Walk Home from School?

My 9 year old son wants to walk to his friend's house after school on Friday. He would be walking with his friend & the distance is probably less than a mile. The neighborhood is good, but I'm nervous. I won't be home until around 6 because I work. My son has told me that his friend's parents think that I am too overly protective. I have a neighbor in law enforcement that mentioned that there are 5 pedaphiles (excuse the spelling) in the area. They aparently don't show up on the internet list for various reasons such as they are still...

7 Year Old Doesn't like to Read

My 7 year old daughter doesn't like to do her reading homework and my 5 year old is starting to pick up on it. I know I am not that big of a reader, but I keep magazines around and try to read in front of them sometimes. I have tried letting them pick their own books to reading the book to them first. Any other thoughts to get her more into reading would be great. Thanks
