HELP!!
My daughter, who is normally a very well adjusted, secure girl, is absolutely terrified of  6th grade.The problem is her friends are all in the "other" class, and her biggest fear in life is that she will lose these friends. She thinks that by not being in the same class, they will "forget" her.

Mind you I have said everything calming I can think of, everything rational that would come to mind, but still have had trouble freeing her of this worry.

Parents readily admit they bribe their children to get them to behave a certain way.
Call it a reward, or just "bribery." Whichever it is, some parenting experts say today's parents have gone too soft.
Do you find yourself dangling the carrot?

Moms have a lot to say about this subject.

What do you think? Join us in the conversation. Do you believe teaching kindergarteners sex education is a good step in informing young minds or is it too young?

Schools in New Mexico are considering taking those steps. In politics, it's been the hot topic.
