Childen have begun taking to voilence at the drop of a hat. They simply pick up a gun or knife and get voilent at anyone they carry a grudge against. It is not that they don't know what they are doing -- they fully well know the consequences and go ahead anyway. Since our men will be away because of their job or business, it is we as a mother has take some steps to see that our children do not deviate from normal behaviour.
I usually note down whether they are aloof,overfriendly,losing temper even for petty issues,the language they use,verbal interactions with peers and siblings and poor scholastic performance and I will have a discussion with my hubby and then decide what to do.
What about you- any suggesstions?

I for one blame alot of this on TV, music, video games. Voilence is everywhere these days. I mean everywhere. That is what our children see. I hate it! And as a mother hope that it is something that I do not have to worry about my children going through.

I had been really fortunate as my son was quite normal and gave us no big problems. as he was a gifted child he was always a few years ahead of the other kids so at eleven he was on his bike and traveled all over the county. which we accepted until one night when he was not home for supper at the usual hour and we both became really worried. my husband was about to call the police or go out looking for him himself.but Robbie came in pushing his bike,sweat streamingdown his face and said he had missed the last bus and had to walk as one of the bike tires was flat. I told him he should have called the police and got a ride home and he said. if I had called the police I would be taken in for violating parole. I told him from now on watch the time and do not wait too late, and if you get into a spot call us and your dad will come get you.I realized even with a gifted child you had to have boundaries and rules.
