Do you teach your children the right words for body parts or nicknames?

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 9 Mar 07

I have always been of the belief it is right to teach your children the proper names of their body parts. I never tried to make them use nicknames or slang because I think that promotes the idea that things like this are shameful....

melindagr9 I think its ok to use nicknames with younger kids. Older children should definitely be taught the proper terms for their body.

melindagr9 I like potatoes more, though I like chips as well. You can do more with potatoes. Chips arent really all that good for you, and most of them have a lot of salt.

melindagr9 Doctors do this. I dont suffer from fibromyalgia but when I go to the doctor I do feel as if they are just talking at me, not listening to what I tell them. Keep looking, there HAVE to be some doctors out there who are willing to listen. Do some research on...

Hot Sandwich Recipes

princess07031980 @princess07031980 (5412) • United States 9 Mar 07

As a busy mom, I look for convenience dinners on work nights. Something wholesome and well rounded. I steer away from frozen dinners and canned meals (Spaghettio's, etc.) because my kids don't need the salt and they need more...

melindagr9 It is best to avoid political conversations with family members who cannot have a peaceful debate. Some people simply cannot handle the fact that other people disagree with them. These people are the reason why America is in the condition that it is in today....

melindagr9 You are taking things WAY too seriously. If what the person did was out of some kind of malicious intent then sure, report them. But if the comment was in anyway related to the question in the topic than what's the problem.
