On Raising Kids: It's a time to be united
ON RAISING KIDS Monday, December 22, 2008 at 12:30 am
Q. We received our credit-card bill and called the company to dispute two $30 charges. The next day, our 9-year-old daughter admitted to taking Daddy's wallet and giving the credit-card number to an online "child-centered" Web site to have more access within their imaginary online play world. We're floored, to say the least, and out $60. But more importantly, our trust has been broken with our daughter.
Daddy is a lot tougher on her and wants to take $120 out of her bank account, take computer privileges away, and take away her digital camera for an undetermined amount of time (she paid for half of the camera and equipment and we paid the other half). I think repaying the $60 and losing the computer for six weeks is punishment enough. Her camera had nothing to do with the "crime," so I don't want to take that away. Your thoughts on our inability to agree on a punishment and any suggestions would be appreciated.
A. Your disappointment and her paying back the money are probably sufficient punishment for her serious theft. Please also let her know to expect you will monitor her computer use in the future. There are computer monitoring programs available, such as Eblaster (www.eblaster.com, created by SpectorSoft).
Because you and her dad feel differently, you'll have to make some sort of compromise, or she'll think you're a pushover and won't take the situation seriously. Talk about it together without her knowing about your differences, and decide on united consequences. If you both agree and show serious disappointment, it won't happen again. But if she knows you're in disagreement, you can count on a repeat performance.
Q. I have three children between the ages of 5 and 11. The two older boys are in the second and fifth grade, respectively, and my daughter's in kindergarten.
I'm concerned about my oldest, who I believe is underachieving. Both he and his brother were identified as having ADHD. He did fairly well on the achievement tests a couple of years ago, but his recent test results are mediocre. His grades vacillate between wonderful and miserable. I was in the Cleveland Major Works program years ago and underachieved myself before entering that program.
I'm trying to determine if I'm expecting too much of my sons or if they are bored at school.
A. A combination of doing wonderful and miserable makes it seem like your sons are capable when motivated. An evaluation by a psychologist who understands giftedness may help you determine if they are struggling or underchallenged.
We don't want your sons to feel pressured, but neither should they be bored.

Spector 360 6.2 enhancements include the ability to handle massive amounts of data to facilitate installations such as entire school districts, state-wide agencies or multi-national corporations, updated Website filtering to block the latest Web 2.0 sites that continue to rob employers of productivity, support for 64-bit Windows, and optional privacy settings.
Spector 360 6.2 records employees' web sites visited, emails sent and received, chats and instant messages, keystrokes typed, files transferred, documents printed and applications run. In addition, through a first of its kind surveillance-like camera recording tool, Spector 360 shows in exact visual detail what an employee does every step of the way. Further, Spector 360 takes the recorded Internet and computer activities, feeds that information into a database, and provides more than 50 easy-to-read management reports.
"Spector 360's management friendly charts and graphs were embraced by the monitoring software marketplace from day one," said SpectorSoft President C. Douglas Fowler. "Now, with the latest product enhancements, I am pleased to say Spector 360 is fast becoming part of the Top 5 must-have software products in every IT department's repository."
Spector 360 6.2 dramatically increases employee productivity while minimizing liability, IT costs, and data loss by answering previously impossible or hard-to-determine questions such as:
-Which employees or departments are spending the most time personal web surfing?
-Which employees may be leaking confidential information via USB Drives, CDs or email?
-Which employees chat or use anonymous email services like Hotmail and Gmail?
-What are employees searching for on Google?
-Who is downloading music, games, or other large files?
-Who is taking the longest breaks or leaving work early?
More About Spector 360:
In an October, 2008 survey of Spector 360 customers, 96% found that the product confirmed their initial suspicions with 78% saying the product found "more" or "far more" abuse than they expected.
According to Franklin Arosemena, Senior IT Manager with INCA, a large construction supply company based in the Dominican Republic, "Spector 360 identified cost savings opportunities, tracked inappropriate offsite use of company laptops, and uncovered a potentially catastrophic gap in security."
At F&B Communications, an Iowa-based SMB, GM Ken Laursen said Spector 360 discovered that with the exception of just two employees "EVERYONE was abusing."
