Another Question

Do you or will you make your kids do their homework as soon as they get home from school, or let them do it later in the evening?

sistawoman:
It is age/responsibility appropriate:

The 7 year old gets $15.00 per month

The 9 year old gets $30.00 per month

The 12 year old gets $45.00 per month

The system that i set up a year ago really makes them save save save their money.
They write down everything they spend, they check their accounts online and they tease each other when they win.
What i was finding before was that they were blowing their money.  And if put in their hands they will 1. loose it 2. blow it.

Now when they have that special trip. . . or want to buy that special item they have enough saved to do it.

nice . .  . do you have a separate account for their "college education" or does this allowance also goes in there?


[quote author=*Toyinrayo link=topic=249630.msg3809647#msg3809647 date=1241210296]ahhh, nice concept. Esp the bolded one, would encourage them not to overspend.
Well, it depends on what they want to buy. IS IT APPROPRIATE, IS IT NOT? Think about that.

And like sistawoman put it, try to encourage them/teach them how to save.

I was never brought up with the allowance propaganda. I got money as a reward or if I asked (depended on what I asked for). When I got up to like age 14 or 15 (can't rem.) my mom opened up an acct for both of us. Where she'd annually deposit money. I think every parent should try this, it'd teach your child the concept of saving and what happens when you overspend And you'd know where/ on what your child uses her credit card from your monthly bill.
I mean, it's a pretty nice age to learn abt the banking system, how to save, consequence of spending too much, and responsibility.

[/quote]agreed. the early the better esp. in these time and age

What Causes Decay?

Tooth decay occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as breads, cereals, milk, soda, fruits, cakes, or candy are left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth digest these foods, turning them into acids. The bacteria, acid, food debris, and saliva combine to form plaque, which clings to the teeth. The acids in plaque dissolve the enamel surface of the teeth, creating holes in the teeth called cavities, or caries.



Any prevention?

You can easily prevent tooth decay by brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, seeing your dentist for teeth cleaning and checkups, and avoiding foods that are high in sugar


What are the symptoms?

Tooth decay usually does not cause symptoms until you have a cavity or an infected tooth. When this occurs, a toothache is the most common symptom.

How is tooth decay diagnosed?

Your dentist diagnoses tooth decay by:

* Asking questions about your past dental and medical problems and care.
* Examining your teeth, using a pointed tool and a small mirror.
* Taking X-rays of your teeth and mouth.

How is it treated?

Treatment for tooth decay depends on how bad it is. You may be able to reverse slight tooth decay by using fluoride. To fix cavities caused by mild tooth decay, your dentist will fill the cavities with another substance (fillings). For more severe tooth decay, you may need a crown or root canal. In extreme cases, your dentist may have to remove the tooth.

You make tooth decay more likely if:

* You don't brush your teeth twice a day, in the morning and before bedtime.
* You don't floss your teeth each day.
* You eat foods with a lot of sugar in them. The longer a sugary food stays on your teeth, the more the bacteria feed and make acids. Sticky sweets and sugary foods, such as raisins, sugar-coated cereal, cake, cookies, caramel, and taffy, cause the most damage.

Lack of fluoride in the public water supply also makes tooth decay more likely.

You can pass the bacteria that cause tooth decay to your baby. This can happen when you share spoons, forks, and other utensils with babies. The saliva you leave on the utensil contains the bacteria. Sometimes kissing can also transfer saliva and bacteria. You can help prevent tooth decay in your child by making sure that your family practices good dental health habits.

Medications

Your dentist may prescribe chlorhexidine gluconate (Peridex, Periogard), a prescription mouthwash, to reduce the bacteria that cause tooth decay. He or she may also recommend or prescribe other types of fluoride treatment, such as fluoride mouthwash, toothpaste, or supplements.

Over-the-counter medicine can also relieve pain and swelling in your face and jaw caused by tooth decay. These include acetaminophen, such as Tylenol or Panadol; ibuprofen, such as Advil or Motrin; and aspirin. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.

@ Sistawoman

so how much do you usually give them in a month? do you change it based on maybe their behavior or any other similar patterns?

.

dyabman:
@sissy

what are you doing on Nairaland?

i should be asking you that

The most common reason for bleeding twice in one calendar month occurs when a normal period begins on the first or second day of the month, and then another arrives at the very end; because the normal cycle length (from the first day of one to the first day of the next) ranges from 23 to 35 days, this can allow two perfectly normal periods to arrive in the same calendar month. Most of the time, however, when women talk about having two periods in a month, they are not referring to this circumstance. Often they mean they are starting a period every two weeks or so -- certainly less than the 23-day interval that is considered within the normal range.

Anything that can disrupt the delicate hormonal dance that produces ovulation can lead to either skipped periods or periods that come too often. Hormonal imbalance as a cause of frequent periods is often seen as a woman nears menopause. Thyroid dysfunction may also be a factor.

Another reasons for twice-a-month periods is abnormal thickening of the uterine lining. This thickening can be due to hormonal imbalance or to taking estrogen without a progesterone medication as well; estrogen causes the uterine lining to proliferate and become thick and lush, while progesterone thins out the lining; a balance between these two hormones is necessary to ensure regular, moderate periods.


Polyps (projections of tissue that protrude into the uterine cavity) or fibroids that impinge on the uterine cavity may also cause irregular periods. In this case, the uterine lining tissue that overlies these projections is less stable, increasing the chance that it will be shed at an inappropriate time. Also, fibroids and polyps increase the surface area of the uterine lining, often leading to prolonged and heavier bleeding.

If your periods are coming less than 23 days apart (counted from the beginning of one to the beginning of the next), then you should see your gynecologist. A biopsy may be necessary to rule out an abnormal thickening of the uterine lining. Blood tests may be done to assess hormone levels. Most of the time the reason for frequent bleeding is benign, but occasionally the problem can be more serious; for this reason, and because excess bleeding can lead to anemia, too-frequent periods must be investigated.

See a doctor if this bothers you too much just to make sure everything is right down there

seems to me some people here just sit behind their computer screens and vomit type nonsense.

there is no excuse for domestic violence be it man or woman
