Do you care about the message you are giving to the kids?

Zhu Huifen @zhuhuifen46 (3483) • China 13 Jan 09

When in their childhood, we are proud of whatever progress our kids made, but when they are growing up, we are likely to care about their faults or mistakes. What to do if a boy spilt the milk, blaming or telling him to clean...

delilahbrat I agree 100% with what you say. I would rather explain to my children the consequences of their actions rather than punishing them (though sometimes my daughter does get sent to her room to reflect on what she did, and afterward, we talk about why her actions...

delilahbrat It's been like that for my 6 year old for a few years now. We implemented a "try something new every day" rule. When we make dinner, we give her a side that she hasn't tried before. She wasn't keen on it at first, but now that we have a chart that we made,...

delilahbrat I think anyone can do something better than Bush. I think what Obama has that will help his presidency is CLASS. Not like the McCain's "high class", but actually classy. He showed class throughout his campaign, and I think that will definitely work in his...

In What Color Do You Relate Your Life?

rberon1985 @rberon1985 (5359) • Philippines 13 Jan 09

Our life is full of mystery. We have experience a lot in life. Happiness, challenges, disappointments, loneliness,etc. Now, I just want to know in one color do you relate your life? And why did you say that is the color that you...

delilahbrat It is difficult for me to assign a color to relate to my life. It can go from the darkest shade of black to the brightest shade of hot pink. I would have to choose every color possible because of the severity of my moods and ups and downs.

nancygibson @nancygibson (3736) • France 13 Jan 09

When you plan a new craft project, how do you go about finding your inspiration? Some people buy or download a pattern and follow it exactly. Others like to be inspired by something they've seen but mostly make it up as they...

delilahbrat I love to crochet and always crochet hats. The way I go about finding inspiration is I compulsively buy yarn whether I need it or not, so when I go about working on a project I go through my yarn with no intentions in mind of what I want the finished project...

Lee Ka @kaka135 (14931) • Malaysia 12 Jan 09

delilahbrat I think with some of the changes they have been doing, something in the system went a little haywire. I couldn't imagine dealing with all that programming stuff to find out what's wrong. Hopefully things will pick up for you (and all of us!)
