Mothcr no 1.: We have a 12-ycnr-old boy that is displaying all thc ou* twaid sings of teenage behaviour. He is disinlcrcstcd in school/homc-work. docsn't wam to help around thc honic. wams to watch TV all day, concemed about his rclationships witli girls, obsessed by his looks (clo-thes/hair/etc). Is this normal? How do we dcal with this? Is there any-thing We can do?

Tha psychologłst: We had this sooncr than we expectcd at age 11 w hen my son went up to secondary school. but it did settle down. I guess thc important thing is to Usten and try to understand what is going on froni his point of view, reward positive things and show disappointment ra-ther than anger at thc negatives.

Mothcr ńo 2.: Hi. my son who will be 2 in September sleeps an awful lot. I don't know if it*s anything to worry about or just consider myself lucky. He gets up at 7, has breakłast. has a play. goes to his nannies and by 930 ready for bed again w herc he'U sleep until 1.00. he*ll get up ha-ve lunch and a play and go back to bed at 3 or 4 and sleep umil 6, has dinner and a play and then a bath and then bed for 730 and thafs whe-re he li stop until the next moming, he’s bright and active and loves his food. What do you think anything to worry about?

The psychologlst: I have no medical knowledge whatsoever, but my fceling would be that he is absolutely linę and you should enjoy it whi-le it lasts! If he is happy and lively. and eats well, maybe he is just one of those people who need a lot of sleep. Each of my three chi Idrcn has slept differently - the middlc one slept almost as much as your son at that age. in fact I rccall having to wake her up every aftemoon from ber j”after lunch” sleep. as otherwise she would probably have just slept from tunchtime until brcakfast. I bet all your friends are green with envy-ha-ving also had a first baby who never slept at all during the day after about 9 months, and hardly seemed to sleep at night. I know I would have been!

Mothcr no 3.: My son was 4 in the middle of Febniary and is duc to start school in August. He is a second child and has always been a lo-veable monster. I harc łosi count of the times I have said that I can’t wait to get him to school! However. the closer it gets to August, the morę I harc this gut fceling that he is too young. His older brother was bom in March 1995 so is one of the oldest in his class and copes really well.

1 think he is smart enough to start school; I just worry if he is maturę enough to cope with having to sit still and not being the centrę of atten-tion all the time. To me he is still a baby. I also think that it would be to his advanlagc in later school years to be the oldest rather than the yo-ungest in class. Would love to hear other people’s opinions and expe-riences.

The peychołoglet: My feeling is that only you and the school together can leli if he is ready. The second thing is that there is really no rush. He'& going to be at school for a long time to come anyway. In Europę kx& of children start al 7. and they alt do flne in later Ufę, don't they. Docs the school lei you ««ke him for a tria) day, to see how he reacts? I flarted school young for my class. and although it wasn*t a problem "acadenrically**, it was socially. I was morę limid, shy, less confident,
