Q. My 7 year old is out of control. Has behavior issues, and issues at school. I need help. I was looking at boarding schools, and boot camps. I am at my wits end here. Please, help!
A. As this is your offspring, you (and your spouse) are the responsible authority in your household. Helping them under the concept of authority is an important life lesson. When they grow up and leave your household, the "new authorities" that will be over them (bosses, police, judges, etc.) are not going to be nice like "mommy." Read over the outline below and give it careful thought before proceeding.
New Rules
1. Do exactly what you say you will do from now on. If you tell your seven year-old he will get a time-out for being disobedient, carry out it out! If you have a significant other, they must be on board too- no exceptions.
2. Develop an action plan for how to punish misbehavior, and reward good behavior- write it down, then make copies. The one that has worked well for me in the past looked something like this is:
Infractions:
Not doing homework
Not doing your chores
(and so on)
Punishment:
First Infraction: No TV for a week
Second Infraction: A monetary fine AND First Infraction Penalty
Third: 300-line repetition, i.e., "I will never throw rocks at cars again as long as I live." Can't go to bed until it's done.
Fourth and subsequent: Double and Triple the above.
Ultimate punishment (if refusing to accept other punishments): stay in your room and don't come out until you are ready to accept responsibility, apologize and make amends for your behavior (I called it "reconciliation").
Buy a bulletin board mount it in the hall. Put each child's name on it. Each time they go a week without punishment, they get a happy face next to their name. They trade in happy faces for prizes mentioned below. Also, put achievements on the board to highlight the outcomes of good behavior.
Rewards:
Two Happy Faces: $10 allowance, Three: Movies, Four: Pizza, etc.
3. Sit down and talk to the family and let them know that the "old" sheriff is gone and that there's a new sheriff in town: "Mommy Tough Love," and if you live under this roof, you're under "Tough Love." Pass out the announcements, go over every point, bulliten board, etc. Put a copy of the announcement on the fridge and one in each bedroom. Removing or altering the announcement in any way is an infraction.
4. Sit down and talk with your seven year old in a quiet setting where there will be no disruptions. Ask what is causing this behavior, and what can be done to help, because he/she will be in hot water very soon if that aren't positive changes in behavior right away. Have someone else they like or respect very much reinforce what you have said.
This process seemed to work well with both of my youngin's. One's graduated from college just a few years ago and the other one's in her sophomore year. They laugh about it now.

A. medical is not free. there are annual health cards around 300 riyals per individual. The health card covers most of the costs upto a year.
The rent for a well furnished accommodation would be around 1500 - 2200 riyals with all the facilities - three bedroom apartments, large kitchen, dining hall, etc.
the cost of schooling will be app. 5000 riyals a year under cbse.
the cost of food is cheap. you don't have to worry much.

How much should do you have to spend in the least to be a competitive dj to get gigs @ clubs? ?
Q. What things do I need to become a competive dj trying to get a gig in clubs? How much money is needed?
How much would I have to shell out in the very least to be competitive in a pretty nice club or radio station?

A. No experience in radio DJ.
Too much. Only the obsessed or passionate are willing to get that far in the business, because it simply costs a small fortune and lots and lots of time.
Do you have DJ friends? Hang out with them more, get advice, tips, and ask for some lessons. You could easily get started with skill and equipment information this way.
Most clubs will have all their equipment there already. You'll probably just need to bring some music and you'll be ready. But you'll still need your own set up, for practice and to climb the ladder. To climb the ladder, i find it easiest to keep practicing until you feel like a pro. Then throw some parties for your buddies, and offer to dj. For free or cheap of course. Play at high school dances. This will all get your name out there and if you find an online site or agent, you can find other events like house parties and weddings to dj at. This should all offer you plenty of chances to get a feel for "playing for the crowd". There's a huge difference between playing in your bedroom and playing for a crowd.
For your own equipment, expect to pay $700-800 for turntables, $100-300 for a mixer. And about another $150-500 on the sound system, depending on whether you want high quality or just something that makes sound lol.
By then you should have atleast met some people in the club business and impressed them. If you haven't, then you atleast have a decent resume under your belt :)
You'll probably get started as a warmup DJ. Remember to always build anticipation. And if you have passion for this, there's not much that can stop you.

I was given a king size bed for a spare bedroom.Where can i find deals on sheets.?
Q. Would like to look online for miss matched or seconds. Need help finding some sites that offer these.
This room will only be used for the occasional over night visitor so i do not need a perfect set. Thanks.

A. Cheapest place I've found for sheets, especially kings, are off price stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls, especially in there clearance shelves -- Ross Dress for Less stores are probably the cheapest. I have bought king sheets there for under $10 and even got a $120 king duvet and shams set for $14.99. I have never seen prices on line that can beat what you will find in these stores, except a couple of times when Target has clearance sales on discontinued items on their website. Last year I got a down comforter for $25 and a set of 300 count cotton sheets for $20 from Target online. It's hit or miss, though. Sometimes they don't have anything at all. Ross stores always have plenty of stock, and it is usually good quality cotton from brands like Laura Ashley, Springmaid, Lauren or Springs.
