fight his own battles

I easily get mad when someone makes fun or physically hurt my son. I have confronted kids older, and even younger, than my son whenever I see them behaving in any way that will hurt RJ's feelings or physically hurt him. I am one protective Mama.

But I now try to let him sort his own problems. Even if I want to throw a punch at the other kid, let him taste his own medicine, I now let my son fight his own battles and solve his 9-year-old-problems. I want him to be more independent and not depend on me with things that he can solve on his own.

when should you teach your child to pray?

If you haven't done it yet, the right time to teach your child to pray is -- NOW. One very important responsibility of parents, to their children, is teaching the importance of prayer. No matter what one's religion is, prayer should be inculcated at an early age.

I started praying with my son when he can't even talk yet. When he was still in my womb, I'm sure he can hear my prayers. Babies and toddlers can remember a lot, their memory starts to develop even before they are born. I taught him The Lord's Prayer at the same time he was learning his ABC and 123.

Last year, my son already know how to lead the praying of the Rosary.
