Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 ok. I need your opinions. Tim who is 10 and liam who is 5 just watched the barney christmas video, because they forgot to watch it before christmas. this movie has been one of tim's favorite movies since he was a toddler. we leave it out all year long and he watches it 2-3x a year. keegan made comment he couldn't believe they were watching it--I said they watch it cause they liek the music. who knows maybe that is the reason, but should I take it away? I realize it's about santa and that in itself is a reason to watch it, but he's 10 watching barney and bj and baby bop. what if he goes to school and tells his friends he watches barney? still likes dora too, and bob the builder. I just don't want him made fun of--he has enough strikes against him as it is. another issue---keegan is 7 will be 8 in march middle child, smart, athletic, moody, loving whrn he wants to be and oh so emotional --cries at the drop of the hat about silly things. doesn't get his way--cries, loses a game--very competitive--not a team sport, but for instance yesterday we went to a b-day party for a 5 year old one of liams' friends, but also our neighbor so all the boys went. he bolwed last--he wanted to be first, and even though there were bumpers he did the worst of all the kids except tim. and he didn't get to finish the game--they got to bowl for an hour. he was crying in front of everyone that he was doing badly and he didn't get to finish. I told him he needed to practice he would get better and we would come another time he could bowl a whole game. nothing would stop the tears--finally pat removed him from the situation. still crying--because pat told him to sit with the kids in the party room. he wanted to play a video game I said no--here come the tears. It's all the time oover nothing --I want to play on the playground--not today we have to go pick up liam---there go the water works. is this normal? should I worry? yes, he is emotional and sensitive, but my goodness......I am reaching the end of my rope and understanding level with him. any ideas would be helpful--we do give individual attention, special days, etc. maria mom to timmy ChARGE 10, Keegan 7, liam 5 wife to pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
