What are the things that make you worried about your kids?

Yes you are close to being paranoid. Not just paranoid but a big worrier. Why do you worry about a lot of things? Instead of just worrying why don't you just teach your kids well what things they should avoid and what they should do to avoid bad peers? I know that anything about our kids is of concern to us but never did I ever become like you. I do care for my child but it does that not mean I should always focus on the negative things that could happen on him. I am not worrying for nothing. Don't worry for nothing but in everything you should always pray and that will bring in peace in your heart and mind. Not all things are within your control but God is in control so instead of killing yourself with senseless worrying go to God and pray and also you should take preventive steps to avoid these problems.

i think its normal for us moms to act that why. with all the bad influence everywhere i don't think we can worry less. my fear for my son is like that also. i am a working mom and i have a difficulty in balancing my time between work and family. that is why i see to it that i will go home early as much as possible to spend more time with my growing son. i know this will not be enough but i make sure i am doing my responsibility as his mother. i teach him everything he should learn and make him feel that he is important more than anything else. i know there can never me enough for my son and i want more for him. my fear is that am i teaching him the right way so he will be a good individual in the future? and so i ask God's guidance and as early as now i am teaching him to pray and give thanks to God. with God i fear nothing because through Him nothing is impossible.

I worry about my children and the choices that they make. It only takes a few poorly made choices to turn things around in life. I don't worry about my children being able to handle situations. i just worry how they go about their solutions. I suppose the worrying of a parent over a child never ends no matter how old they get.

I got seven boys, the eldest being 17 and the youngest almost a year old. Five are in school, and you probably could imagine how difficult my situation could be. Paranoia could really set in especially when I see who they associate with in school and in the neighborhood, but fortunately, they all seem to carry themselves well and able to realize what they want except for the second to the eldest who seemed to be enjoying most out of school activities. I always urge them for their friends to come to the house, so I could know who they associate with and try to remind not only my kids, but also their friends of doing the right things as much as possible.

I think it is absolutely normal to be worried about how our kids will handle things and what they will do. I think it would be weird if you didn't worry. Their your children. Of course you should worry! I am moving soon too and I have been thinking about how my kids will adjust and if they will adapt well to another new setting and so on. We are mommies, the best and most difficult job at the same time!

No I don't feel that way about my kids. I try not to worry about things like that because why worry if they are going to happen they are going to happen. They will happen no matter where you are in the world in the same place or not. I moved a few times during his school my parents never worried yes one school I didn't like and I told my parents and we found a different school around the same area I was much happier then. I was bullied all of the time as a kid because I was different I was the new kid when I was 7 but there is always good people its just about finding them and relaxing. Deal those situations when they happen other wise your just making yourself grow older faster and putting more stress on your body and doing damage to yourself. They are 12 and 9 they are big kids they can handle a lot of things on there own at that age. I'm sure you've been raising them right that if something is wrong they will tell you about it.

It happens to every parent. It is not about being paranoid. Most parents are like that. Sometimes, I feel that way too with my kid. I even think of their future, etc.

Well right now what is bothering me is the bulliest at my daughters school. This one little girl is nice to her one day and mean to her the next. It really bothers her. This went on in kindergarten with the same girl. I was so glad last year when the little girl was not in her class. This year she is in the same class as the girl once again :(

i don't think you're being paranoid, it happens everywhere. i am also worried about these things and the only thing we can do to keep them safe is to have an open communication with them. you cannot avoid the bullying or the groupings but we can prevent bad things to happen with constant communicating with our children.

I also have many concerns with my child. I am very worried, my son did not get, that should get the child in me. Our short life. Moreover, I fear my love, not enough to make my kids happy.

Hi doryvien, how are you? What you feel is but normal, a mixture of excitement and maybe fear of new things. That is only brought about by the approaching changes in your life and anybody who is in your situation would feel the same. You need not worry because your husband would be there to help you out to adjust to the changes and with regards the kids, i suggest you go and see the school where they will be going. You can talk maybe to the teachers once in a while how your kids are doing and most importantly is keep your communication line open with your kids. I know they will soon manage but of course there will be lots of adjustment at first. My nephews did, they were still little tots when they went to the US but they were able to survive the adjustment period. Good luck and we will miss you. God Bless!

i think its completely normal for any parent to think that way about their kids. i recently moved as well with my 3 year old and husband. i just made it really fun for her. i would take her to new playgrounds and kinda make a big deal about "hey look,isnt this playground bigger than the other one we used to go to?" small things like that kinda make the whole thing more positive. because your kids are older though they could definately sense your uneasyness so make sure youre more upbeat about the move so your kids are too!
