10 Year Old Defiant Son

I am so desperate for any advice from other parents of 10 year old boys. My son is not at all respectful of my discipling him, he doesn't care what I threaten him with. He is afraid if I say I am going to go get dad though. I just don't know what to do to get him to understand that what I say goes. He also says he doesn't care if he fails his classes, although we have treatened punishment and offered incentives to doing well. He will do good one week and the next doesn't care. I guess I would just like to know that there are other moms out...

Also, my concern is that if I try to take it away now and try to discourage the thumb sucking with the baby coming that the events are too close together. I know she is going to have other issues when the baby comes. Any advice about how to get rid of the blankie/thumb and opinions on...

7 Year Old Daughter with Extreme Separation Anxiety!!!!

Hi there, I need help!! My daughter is 7 years old. She has (what I would call), extreme separation anxiety. It never fails... when its time to go to school, she suddenly comes down with a big stomach ache and panic attack.

When my husband and I try to talk to her, or talk her through it, she explains it to us as "her tummy...
